摘要: Embodiments discussed herein refer to generating multiple laser beams from a single beam source. Single source multi-beam splitters can produce multiple beams from a single source, precisely control the exit angle of each beam, and ensure that each beam has substantially the same intensity.

摘要: Provided are a signal source space sensing method and apparatus, and an active sensing system. The method includes: a controller controls a signal transmitter to transmit a first signal to an object to be tested; the controller controls a signal receiver to receive a second signal, which is obtained after the first signal is transmitted by the object; the controller determines a coordinate relationship between the spatial position of said object and a signal source space according to the first signal and the second signal, wherein the signal source space is a coordinate space where the first signal transmitted by the signal transmitter is located; and the controller maps the second signal back to the signal source space according to the coordinate relationship between the spatial position of the object and the signal source space, to obtain a signal source space signal so as to reconstruct a sensing signal.

摘要: A feederhouse assembly (200) for an agricultural harvester (100) includes a feederhouse (200) having an inlet end (204), ea yaw frame (214) adjacent the inlet end (204) and arranged to pivot about a vertical axis (216) relative to the feederhouse (200), and at least one hydraulic cylinder (220) configured to apply a hydraulic force to rotate the yaw frame (214) about the vertical axis (216). A method of connecting a harvesting header to an agricultural harvester includes applying a first hydraulic force from at least one hydraulic cylinder to a yaw frame (214), moving the agricultural harvester toward the harvesting header, securing the harvesting header to the yaw frame (214), and applying a second hydraulic force from the at least one hydraulic cylinder to the yaw frame (214) to orient the harvesting header at a right angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the agricultural harvester (100).

摘要: An asymmetric whispering gallery mode resonator device is described. The resonator device includes an asymmetric whispering gallery mode resonator disk (e.g., transparent material, electrooptic material). The resonator disk includes an axial surface along a perimeter of the resonator disk, a top surface, and a bottom surface. A first midplane passes through the axial surface dividing the axial surface into symmetrical halves. The top surface and the bottom surface are substantially parallel, and a second midplane is substantially equidistant between the top surface and the bottom surface. The first midplane and the second midplane are non-coextensive. The asymmetric whispering gallery mode resonator disk can further include a first chamfered edge between the top surface and the axial surface, and a second chamfered edge between the bottom surface and the axial surface. Moreover, the resonator device includes a first electrode on the top surface and a second electrode on the bottom surface.

摘要: Apparatus and associated methods relate to detecting jams when an intensity of a reflected signal exceeds a predetermined intensity threshold and an intensity window metric based on historic intensity value(s) fails to exceed an intensity window threshold for more than a predetermined time threshold. In an illustrative example, a jam detection unit (JDU) may emit a signal and detect a reflection of the signal. The JDU may, for example, compare intensity of the reflected signal to the intensity threshold. The JDU, for example, may compare the intensity threshold with at least one historic intensity value to determine the intensity window metric. If the intensity value exceeds the intensity threshold and the intensity window metric has not exceeded the intensity window threshold for longer than the time threshold, then the JDU may, for example, generate a jam signal. Various embodiments may advantageously detect jams based on intensity of a reflected signal.

摘要: A method of determining position and orientation of an object using a profilometer. A measurement body has a predetermined polyhedral basic form and a defined spatial relationship with the object. The profilometer captures rectilinear coordinates of at least three measurement points lying on a profile line defined by a profilometer scan-line. Using the coordinates and measurement body geometric values, rotations of the measurement body are calculated about a measurement body z-axis, an intermediate y-axis resulting from the z-axis rotation, and about a profilometer-defined x-axis. Next, three translation displacements of the measurement body relative to the three profilometer-defined axes are calculated using the coordinates, the geometric values of the measurement body, and the above-calculated rotations. The position and an orientation of the object is determined by then applying the defined spatial relationship of the measurement body to the object.
