    摘要: A rotary joint includes a fixed unit and a rotating unit arranged substantially orthogonal to a center axis and facing one another, as well as a substantially cylindrical light guide member arranged therebetween. A light-emitting device and a light-receiving device are provided on each of the units. The light guide member is configured such that an amount of the light from the light-emitting device on the fixed unit that is received by the light-receiving device on the rotating unit and an amount of the light from the light-emitting device on the rotating unit that is received by the light-receiving device on the fixed unit both exceed a prescribed minimum amount regardless of rotational positions of the rotating unit.

    摘要: A vehicle communication system includes an on-board vehicle communication module and a remote communication module. The on-board vehicle communication module includes a light source that is configured to be modulated in order to transmit data, an on-board controller that controls the light source and an on-board memory that is operably coupled to the on-board controller such that the on-board controller can obtain data from the on-board memory for transmission by the light source. The remote communication module includes a light receiver that is sensitive to the modulated light provided by the light source forming part of the on-board vehicle communication module. In some cases, the vehicle communication system enables bidirectional communication between the vehicle communication module and the remote communication module.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method for replication and learning of a waveform for infrared (IR) remote control of a household appliance. The method includes: sampling a data code in a household appliance infrared remote waveform by a direct sampling method, so as to obtain sampled data; performing feature extraction on the sampled data to obtain a feature value; reversing the level whose length is shorter than the minimum feature value and is within a preset range; adding the reversed level length with the adjacent levels length to perform deburring in the household appliance infrared remote waveform, wherein adjacent levels refer to the levels previous and after the reversed level, and the minimum feature value is feature value of the minimum level length.

    摘要: An example playback device includes a signal detector, a signal emitter, and a communication interface. Audio content corresponding to video content being displayed on a display device is received via the communication interface device. The audio content is played. While playing the audio content, a first signal is received via the signal detector from a control device configured to control the display device. A second signal is generated based on the first signal and the second signal is emitted via the signal emitter. The display device receives at a signal receiver of the display device the first signal from the control device and the second signal at substantially the same time.

    摘要: Aspects of interaction with multidimensional information for an energy system are disclosed. The use of multidimensional information in a graphical user interface can facilitate efficient communication of information related to energy systems. Energy system information can be classified. A multidimensional information interface can include a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns populated with tokens representing energy system information, based on the classification of the energy system information. The tokens can be selectable tokens such that selection of tokens can be related to accessing detailed information related to the token. In some embodiments, indicators, particularly visual indicators, can be employed to convey additional information, such as counts, selection status, sums of rows or columns, etc. Further, augmentation effects can be employed to facilitate access to an additional layer of information, such as freshness of a token, acknowledged tokens, etc.

    摘要: A remote controller and a method for controlling a screen using the remote controller are provided. The remote controller includes a first screen key; an output interface configured to output a control signal; and a controller configured to control the first screen key and the output interface. The controller outputs first control information corresponding to a press of the first screen key to a display by using the output interface. The first control information is information for scaling a content screen displayed on the display and for displaying the scaled content screen on a first screen area of split screen areas of the display.
