摘要:
The invention provides a user interaction system (100) and a method of controlling a lighting system. The user interaction system (100) comprises a display (106), a means for receiving a location indication (102), a location identification means (104) and an overlay image creator (108). The display (106) displays a subarea image and an overlay image. The subarea image is an image of a specific subarea of the environment. The location identification means (104) detects which specific location in the environment is indicated by the location indication. The overlay image creator (108) generates the overlay image. The overlay image comprises information related to a lighting effect which is obtainable by the lighting system at the specific location. The obtainable effect is an effect of at least two controllable light sources of the lighting system. The information which is related to the obtainable lighting effect is based on a lighting system model (110) which represents effects that are obtainable in the environment by controllable light sources of the lighting system.

Guidance is provided to a staff of a service-oriented business when catering to a guest on the premises of the service-oriented business. A signal is received from a presence detector on the premises. The signal is representative of a presence of the guest at a pre-determined location on the premises. A length of a time period is determined, during which the guest has been present at the pre-determined location. On a display monitor, a visual indication is generated of the presence at the pre-determined location. The visual indication has an attribute that changes with the passing of time.

A method for preventing overhearing of private conversations in public spaces is disclosed. The method comprises detecting the social activity of the people in the public space and assessing the social situation and adapting the degree of sound masking and/or sound absorption at the desired locations to suit the assessed social situation. The method can be useful in public environments such as airports, city centers, club, bars, cafes and shopping centers where it is required to prevent over-hearing of private conversations.

Embodiments are provided for digital dental modeling. One method embodiment includes receiving a three-dimensional data set including a first jaw and a second jaw of a three-dimensional digital dental model and receiving a two-dimensional data set corresponding to at least a portion of the first jaw and the second jaw. The method includes mapping two-dimensional data of the two-dimensional data set to the three-dimensional digital dental model by transforming a coordinate system of the two-dimensional data to a coordinate system of the three-dimensional data set. The method includes positioning the first jaw with respect to the second jaw based on the two-dimensional data mapped to the three-dimensional data set. The method includes using at least a portion of the two-dimensional data mapped to the three-dimensional data set as a target of movement of the first jaw with respect to the second jaw in the three-dimensional digital dental model.

A triple-valve internal blow out preventer having unitary construction is provided, each valve including a tubular assembly having a central passageway with upper and lower seats mounted therein. A ball is rotatably received between the upper and lower seats and includes an external surface and a central opening, wherein the central opening may include an undercut. A protective coating may also be applied to both the external surface and the undercut of the ball to increase the durability of each of the valves.

A hinge mechanism 14, 114 for pivotally mounting a motor vehicle bonnet 12 to a body structure 13 of a motor vehicle 10 is disclosed. The rear end of the bonnet 12 is pivotally attached to a vehicle body 13 by a pair of hinge mechanisms 14 such that, when the hinge mechanisms 14 are in the normal operating position, the hinge mechanisms 14 allow the bonnet 12 to pivot about a first axis. However, when a greater than normal upward force is applied to the rear end of the bonnet 12, the hinge mechanisms 14 allow the bonnet 12 to rise up to a pre-determined height whilst limiting the rearward displacement of the bonnet 12 so that the bonnet 12 is unable to come into contact with a windscreen 6 of the motor vehicle 10. The hinge mechanisms 14 are able to be subsequently reset to the normal operating position when a downward force is applied to the bonnet 12.
摘要:
A shift control method for an automated manual transmission is provided. The method includes the step of modulating the force applied to a shift collar, via a shift rod and/or shift fork for example, during the engagement of the shift collar and a selected gear. The method modulates the initial engagement force applied to the shift collar when the rotational speed differential between the collar and gear is being adjusted, before increasing the force again following modulation. This modulation of the force decelerates the shift collar during the rotational speed adjustment and does not accelerate the shift collar to complete the engagement until after the modulation. In this way, a less abrupt engagement of the gear may be achieved. The control method may improve the driving characteristics of the vehicle employing the transmission and may also improve the power transmission efficiency.
摘要:
Signal classification techniques for classifying signals occurring in a frequency band using a plurality of classifier procedures each dedicated to identify a particular signal or signal type. The classification procedures operate on spectrum activity data that may include pulse event data describing particular types of signal pulses occurring in the frequency band, power versus frequency data for sampling intervals of activity in a frequency band and/or raw analog-to-digital converter samples take of a received signal. The signal classification techniques are useful to identify wireless radio signals or other radio emissions occurring in an unlicensed radio frequency band. One type of classification procedure is a pulse timing template that is compared against accumulated signal pulse data to determine occurrence of a particular signal type. To enhance the pulse timing template signal classifier, techniques are provided to examine the center frequency distribution of signal pulses that match the timing template in order to confirm that certain signal pulses are associated with a particular frequency hopping signal type. This is particularly useful when the accumulated signal pulse data is obtained from a scanning radio receiver that is tuned to different portions/channels of the frequency band in which the frequency hopping signal is expected to hop.
