Abstract: Systems and methods may utilize a two-axis stand configured with a locator moveable along two orthogonally oriented axes. The locator may scan a tube opening. A controller may position the locator and the two-axis stand to a) scan across a plurality of tube openings, b) locate the plurality of tube openings based on the scan, and c) activate a cleaning tool to clean tube interiors associated with respective tube openings. Control may be automated and/or based on user interaction with a user interface.

Abstract: A system and method detects an obstruction in the path of a vehicle access control member moving from an open position to a closed position. The method includes transmitting a detection signal along an edge of the member towards a reflective surface mounted on the member. The detection signal includes a sequence of pulses having different amplitudes with the amplitudes varying linearly moving from a first pulse to a final pulse of the sequence of pulses. The method further includes receiving a detection response signal corresponding to the detection signal following reflection of the detection signal by one of the reflective surface and the obstruction. The detection response signal includes another sequence of pulses and the method further includes generating an obstruction signal indicating whether the obstruction is in the path of the access control member responsive to differences in amplitude between adjacent pulses in the sequence of pulses.

Abstract: A human body detection sensor includes: a detection decision unit that decides whether a state is a detection state or a non-detection state of a detection target; a specular reflection decision unit that decides whether or not reflected light that is incident onto a line sensor is specularly-reflected light; and a continuation decision unit that decides whether or not a state in which the detection target exists is ongoing, wherein, when specularly-reflected light is detected while a determination is made indicating the detection state, the detection decision unit keeps the result of a determination indicating the detection state without change if the result of the decision by the continuation decision unit indicates that the state is ongoing and changes the determination to a determination indicating the non-detection state if the result of the decision shows any other states.

Abstract: A method for adjusting a working state of an electronic device includes setting a reasonable value range of feature data of a user, and acquiring current feature data of the user from the camera device. The current feature data is compared to the reasonable value range of feature data. A working state of the electronic device is changed when the current feature data is out of the reasonable value range of feature data.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the invention, a method of trajectory-based sensor planning for a vehicle includes receiving an indication of a planned change in a trajectory of the vehicle. A processing subsystem determines a current field of view of a directional sensor and a planned adjustment in the current field of view of the directional sensor relative to the vehicle to align with the planned change in the trajectory of the vehicle. The planned adjustment in the current field of view of the directional sensor is initiated prior to changing the trajectory of the vehicle.
