Abstract:
A wheel alignment apparatus is capable of automatically obtaining tire pressure information from a plurality of tire pressure monitor systems. The wheel alignment apparatus may include an alignment bay configured to receive a vehicle and an optical system located at an end of the alignment bay and configured to provide an image of wheels of the vehicle. The wheel alignment apparatus may also include a camera configured to receive the image of the wheels of the vehicle and a computer configured to display the image of the wheels of the vehicle and automatically display tire pressure information of the wheels of the vehicle when the vehicle is located within a predetermined proximity of the wheel alignment apparatus.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to unmanned vehicle (UV) systems and methods. A method may include capturing data with at least one UV proximate an area of interest. The method may also include processing the data at a computing device. In addition, the method may include at least storing the processed data, sharing the processed data with another device, combining the processed data with related historical data, developing a model based at least partially on the processed data, determining at least one future task to be performed by the UV based at least partially on the processed data, or any combination thereof.
Abstract:
Dark-bit masking technologies for physically unclonable function (PUF) components are described. A computing system includes a processor core and a secure key manager component coupled to the processor core. The secure key manager includes the PUF component, and a dark-bit masking circuit coupled to the PUF component. The dark-bit masking circuit is to measure a PUF value of the PUF component multiple times during a dark-bit window to detect whether the PUF value of the PUF component is a dark bit. The dark bit indicates that the PUF value of the PUF component is unstable during the dark-bit window. The dark-bit masking circuit is to output the PUF value as an output PUF bit of the PUF component when the PUF value is not the dark bit and set the output PUF bit to be a specified value when the PUF value of the PUF component is the dark bit.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for adjusting vehicle grille shutters based on engine coolant temperature. In one example, a method includes adjusting grille shutters based on engine coolant temperature and additional engine operating conditions when engine coolant temperature is below a threshold and adjusting the grille shutters base on the engine coolant temperature only when the engine coolant temperature is above the threshold. Further, the method may include recalibrating a position of the grille shutters based on a grille shutter position error.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for verifying data copies and reverifying the copies over the life span of media according to a verification policy. Characteristics of media and use of media are tracked to provide metrics which may be used to dynamically reevaluate and reassign verification policies to optimize media usage. Copies that fail verification operations may be repaired by repeating a storage operation for recent copies or by substituting a close temporal copy of the failed copy.
Abstract:
Systems and method for interpreting a data selection on a touch screen may include providing an interface on the touch screen with a plurality of lanes, each lane associated with an attribute, and each attribute associated with a plurality of values. Icons may fill each lane, with each icon configured to display one of the values of the attribute of the lane. The interface may also have a first lane where a first icon is not displayed. It may be determined that a finger gesture input from the touch screen with a direction is associated with the first lane, and in response, the icons in the first lane may be moved in that direction to display the first icon. A finger tap input from the touch screen corresponding to the first icon may enlarge a size of the first icon on the touch screen to substantially fill the first lane.
Abstract:
A warehouse management method using a pick platform may include associating a mobile computing device with a pick platform based on an identifier associated with the pick platform. A platform profile for the pick platform may be identified based on the identifier. Portions of the platform profile may be displayed using a platform profile map of the pick platform on the mobile computing device representing locations on the pick platform to which an item included in a plurality of orders is to be put.
Abstract:
A damage detection and remediation system includes a sensing device for detecting damage events related to a structure of interest. Such damage events may include impact from a ballistic object, a tamper event, a physical impact, or other events that may affect structural integrity or cause failure. Illustratively, the sensing device is in communication with a measurement system to determine damage criteria, and a processing system which is configured to use the damage criteria to determine, for example, a direction of the initiation point of a ballistic causing the damage event.
Abstract:
A hardware circuit component configured to support vector operations in a scalar data path. The hardware circuit component configured to operate in a vector mode configuration and in a scalar mode configuration. The hardware circuit component configured to split the scalar mode configuration into a left half and a right half of the vector mode configuration. The hardware circuit component configured to perform one or more bit shifts over one or more stages of interconnected multiplexers in the vector mode configuration. The hardware circuit component configured to include duplicated coarse shift multiplexers at bit positions that receive data from both the left half and the right half of the vector mode configuration, resulting in one or more coarse shift multiplexers sharing the bit position.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to systems and methods which restrict the use of Value Bearing Indicia (VBI) such that a general purpose interface application can be used to securely and/or precisely print VBI. A method and/or system of embodiments of the invention, includes a general purpose interface application being operated on a general purpose processor to request VBI, and in response to that request, receiving a content object comprising both the VBI and defined parameters which are controlled such that the general purpose interface application's use of the VBI is restricted.
