    摘要: A method and system for capturing, by a camera a sequence of frames at respective locations within a portion of an environment; capturing, by an inertial measurement unit, a sequence of inertial odometry data corresponding to the sequence of frames at the respective locations; storing in a queue a data record includes information extracted from processing the respective frame and information from the inertial measurement unit; in accordance with a determination that the sequence of inertial odometry data satisfies a first criterion: calculating a first relative pose between the first frame and the second frame; and in accordance with a determination that a difference between the first relative pose and the information extracted from processing the respective frame satisfy a first threshold: generating an initial map of the portion of the environment based on the first data record and the second data record.

    摘要: A carrier for one or more straws of an appliance such as a dish washing appliance. The carrier and/or rack may be in fluid communication with one or more spray elements when in a stowed position within a dishwasher tub. The one or more carriers may route fluid from the one or more spray elements to wash an interior and/or an exterior of at least one straw. The carrier may include one or more bridges projecting inwardly towards the one or more straws defining one or more pathways for received fluid. The body of the carrier may include a lid and/or latch. The carrier may be adjustable to engage one or more straws of varying lengths. The carrier may include an adjustable end and a fixed end. The carrier may include a biasing mechanism.

    摘要: A non-freezing meat fresh-preservation control method, a controller and a refrigerator are provided. The non-freezing meat fresh-preservation control method includes: acquiring a current temperature of meat food in a compartment of a refrigerator in real time; judging whether the current temperature of the meat food is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold t0, and if yes, controlling the compartment to perform a cooling operation; judging whether the meat food is frozen during the cooling operation, and if yes, controlling the compartment to perform a heating operation; and continuing the performance of the acquiring the current temperature after the performance of the heating operation is completed.
