摘要:
A method for developing a map of objects in a region surrounding a location is disclosed. The method includes interrogating the region along a detection axis with a series of optical pulses and detecting reflections of the optical pulses that originate at objects located along the detection axis. A multi-dimensional map of the region is developed by scanning the detection axis about the location in at least one dimension. The reflections are detected via a single-photon detector that is armed using a sub-gating scheme such that the single-photon detector selectively detects photons of reflections that originate only within each of a plurality of zones that collectively define the detection field. In some embodiments, the optical pulses have a wavelength within the range of 1350 nm to 1390 nm, which is a spectral range having a relatively high eye-safety threshold and a relatively low solar background.

A method for computing the intensity of light incident on a photodiode capable detecting single photons comprises using arrival-time statistics for a plurality of detected single photons. The statistics are based on the determination of the arrival time for each detected photon relative to the beginning of a detection period within an image frame in which the photon is detected. In some embodiments, Poisson statistics are applied to the computation of the intensity. By computing the intensity of light in this manner for each of plurality of single-photon photodetectors that compose a focal plane array, a high-contrast image of a scene can be developed.

A housing construction kit that includes at least one plug device and/or one fuse. The kit contains a housing base body with numerous installation openings and numerous installation plates. A first coding means is formed on each opening and a second coding means is formed on each plate. Every first coding means of an opening has a unique first coding and every second coding means of a plate has a unique second coding. Every second coding means of a plate is designed to be complementary to at most one first coding means of an opening and every second coding means of a plate is designed to be complementary to a first coding means of another opening as every second coding means of a plate, which is designed to be suitable for assembly of at least one plug device.

An automation system is disclosed in which a system controller has access to the signals transmitted by each sensor device that is relevant to the environment being controlled. Each sensor device monitors a particular physical condition, senses changes in the condition being monitored, and reports states of the condition, which is made available to the system controller. Meanwhile, the system controller memorizes and maintains the states of various processing events, such as when a sensor device reported a particular state of the condition that the sensor monitors. By considering the information reported by the various and multiple sensor devices, as well as by accounting for the memorized states corresponding to the various events, the system controller is able to generate and continually update a representation of the state of the controlled environment. Having such context awareness enables the design and implementation of sophisticated reasoning logic and conditional logic.

A service and system for providing sponsored data, wherein the data usage is not charged to a mobile subscriber but, rather, paid for by a sponsor. The system and service is mobile-operator neutral and exists separate and apart from any given mobile network. The system provides, to mobile network operators and sponsoring entities, a single domain name (TLD). The TLD is white-listed, in wild-card form, by the mobile network operator so that the operator will know to zero rate any data traffic associated with the TLD. Sponsoring entities are also provided with a unique identifier. The unique identifier is concatenated, as a pre-pend, to the TLD, thereby generating a FQDN that (1) identifies associated data traffic as being “sponsored” and (2) identifies the entity sponsoring the data. The system monitors data usage associated with each FQDN and prepares a bill that charges each sponsoring entity for the data usage associated with the particular FQDN.

A post-surgery bra includes an aperture appropriately sited to so that tubes from a boost-treatment device or drain implanted in a wearer of the bra protrude therethrough. The post-surgery bra includes a fixation element for immobilizing the tubes of the boost-treatment device that protrude through the aperture. In some embodiments, the post-surgery bra also includes a retaining ring, which is coupled to the bra below the breast cup nearest to the aperture and which is openable and closeable for engaging and securing a loop of material that extends from the collection bulb of the drain.

A clamp for clamping an electrical terminal terminating an electrical wire to an electrically conductive post includes a saddle and a fastener. The saddle has an inner surface and at least partially circumferentially surrounds the post. A projection on the inner surface of the saddle is received in a hole of the electrical terminal. The fastener fastens the saddle to the post with the projection received in the electrical terminal so as to sandwich the electrical terminal between the post and the saddle.
摘要:
A technique for estimating the geo-location of a mobile station, based on signal measurements or other data that are obtained from both the control plane and the user plane. Through the coordination of obtaining signal measurements from both planes, the disclosed method and system make location estimations of greater accuracy possible. A data-processing system is configured to receive requests for location estimates from a location-based services (LBS) client or from a different source. The illustrative data-processing system then coordinates the acquisition of location data across both the control plane and the user plane, and correlates the data. The correlated location data can be subsequently used to generate a location estimate.
