摘要： A computer-implemented system and method for generating a hardware implementation of graphical code. The method may operate to configure an instrument to perform measurement functions, wherein the instrument includes a programmable hardware element. The method comprises first creating a graphical program, wherein the graphical program may implement a measurement function. A portion of the graphical program may optionally be compiled into machine code for execution by a CPU, and another portion of the graphical program may be converted into a hardware implementation on a programmable hardware element. The programmable hardware element is configured utilizing a hardware description to produce a configured hardware element. The configured hardware element thus implements a hardware implementation of the second portion of the graphical program. During generation of the hardware implementation, the computer system may operate to estimate and/or display one or more of size and cost of a hardware implementation of the graphical program. In one embodiment, the graphical program manipulates one or more hardware resources of an instrument, and an indication of usage of the one or more hardware resources are displayed during creation of the graphical program. Probes may also be inserted into the graphical program, wherein corresponding probe elements are placed in the hardware implementation to implement the probe function.

摘要： A harvesting system incorporating manual picking to bins at varying heights and positions with an automated accumulation of filled containers in unit loads is disclosed and claimed. The system includes a powered rolling chassis driven between crop rows or lanes. The chassis has an adjustable front-mounted operator platform with controls, allowing one person to operate the system. A container pick-and-place apparatus and a container dispenser are mounted behind the platform to stack full containers in predetermined patterns in the unit load area and supply empty containers to the operator platform. The unit load area at the rear of the chassis has an indexer to allow staging of an empty unit load holder with empty containers for a quick changeover after removing a full load.

摘要： A method and system for mapping color gamuts based on one-one and onto mapping function in order to create an invertible transform is disclosed. A hue leaf associated with at least two arbitrary color gamuts can be defined utilizing a vector math function and a most saturated point with respect to each hue leaves can be determined. A safe area relative to an intersection point can be estimated by approximating the most saturated point in both hue leaves. An upper hull and a lower hull associated with the hue leaves can be continuously sub-divided with an equal number of sections by constructing one or more vectors. An appropriate section for computing a vector relationship in the color gamut can be determined in order to map the color gamuts based on the continuous, one-one and onto function thereby creating an invertible transformation.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention provide for a biometric system with an optically adaptive interface. In some embodiments, an optically adaptive interface changes optical characteristics in response to the placement of a finger on the optically adaptive interface. In some embodiments, the optically adaptive interface can include an active layer and a surface layer. The active layer and the surface layer can have different optical properties. For example, one layer may be opaque and the other transparent, the two layers may have complementary colors, the two layers may have orthogonal polarization reflectors, one layer may be reflective and the other absorptive, etc. Moreover, the active layer can be a fluid with either high or low viscosity. For example, the viscosity can be such that the active layer fluid is either completely displaced or not displaced in locations corresponding to finger valleys.

摘要： A near field RF communicator has an inductive coupler (102) to couple inductively to an H field of an RF signal from another near field RF communicator in near field range to provide a received signal, a demodulator (300) coupled to extract any modulation from a source signal representing a received RF signal to provide an extracted modulation signal; and a controller (107) coupled to receive an extracted modulation signal from the demodulator. The demodulator (300) has a sampler (400) to sample the source signal in sampling periods and to compare signal samples with at least one of other signal samples and a clock or reference signal to remove or reject the carrier of the received RF signal and to extract the modulation.
