摘要:
A method of locating an acoustic source, the method comprising sampling said acoustic source at a plurality of acoustic receivers having different locations, each acoustic receiver time-stamping a respective received acoustic sample using a system time, each acoustic receiver sending said time-stamped acoustic sample to a central controller, the central controller determining the location of the acoustic source in response to receiving the time-stamped sound source samples from the plurality of receivers.

摘要:
A system and method of verifying metadata in a measurement processing system is described. Each combination of metadata is associated with a key, and the keys are used to verify that operations performed using the measurements are valid based on the metadata of the respective measurements. Embodiments allow metadata verification to be made prior to operating on measurements. Embodiments also minimize the processing that results from making such checks redundantly causing slowdown in the measurement processing. This additionally makes metadata verification feasible for devices with limited CPU resources, such as, for example, mobile devices.
摘要:
A probe management system is disclosed having a central location for developing experiments and measurement requests for the particular probe system. Instead of issues detailed measurement requests to each of the smart probes in the system, each smart probe determines the measurements to be taken based on the experiment and measurement request. Furthermore, prior to participating in such an experiment the smart probe determines its capabilities to participate and configures itself for such participation if the smart decides to actually participate in the experiment or measurement request.

A system and method is disclosed for managing bandwidth in a wireless probe measurement system that may include receiving an indicator at the wireless probe to begin taking measurements of one or more variables, measuring the one or more variables, calculating a set of statistical values at the wireless probe using the measured one or more variables, and transmitting the set of statistical values to a central station.

A body for a blow-molded waste cart and a waste cart having a blow-molded hollow body with four upstanding side walls and corner sections therebetween, a floor, and a circumferential compression flange around the side walls and corner sections is disclosed. The waste cart may also include an axle and wheels mounted to a side wall and a handle assembly with lid also mounted to a side wall. The circumferential compression flange may have a generally consistent width and thickness at each of the side walls and corner sections and the lid rim meets the circumferential compression flange when the lid is closed. A method of forming a blow-molded waste cart body is also disclosed. The process includes melting a polymer material to form a parison, enclosing the parison in a main mold, pressurizing the parison within the mold and moving a secondary mold section onto the main mold squeezing the polymer outward to a gap between the secondary mold and main mold to form the circumferential flange.

A body for a blow molded waste cart and a waste cart having a blow-molded hollow body having a front wall and a central channel formed in the front wall, a lift pocket formed in the central channel, and a lift pocket reinforcement insert molded into the lift pocket. The lift pocket reinforcement has a main body formed with a longitudinal axis, an upper face, a rear face including a generally planar lift contact surface and a plurality of retention keys that retain the polymer of the parison after molding. The retention keys may be undercut to improve retention of the polymer. The lift pocket reinforcement may be blow-molded and the retention keys may be in the shape of a section of a trapezoidal cone.
摘要:
A dilatation balloon and catheter for insertion into a bodily conduit. The catheter (10) includes shaft (12) and a dilatation balloon (24) at the distal end of the shaft. The balloon is inflated via a central lumen (14) in the shaft for delivery of a fluid inflation media. The balloon is fabricated from a combination of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), preferably an engineering thermoplastic elastomer (ETE), with a non-compliant structural polymeric material. The combination may be a blend of the non-compliant structural polymer and the TPE. Alternatively, the combination may be a layered balloon having, for example, a non-compliant structural polymer inner layer and a soft, abrasion resistant, elastomeric outer layer. Methods for fabricating the balloon from the combination of a TPE and a non-compliant structural polymer are also disclosed.
摘要:
A distributed system that uses distributed synchronized time to perform uncorrelated actions. A distributed system according to the present teachings includes a set of nodes each having a synchronized real-time clock. The nodes use the synchronized real-time clocks to trigger a set of uncorrelated actions from the nodes.
摘要:
Decimation of data from a fixed length queue retaining a representative sample of the old data. Exponential decimation removes every nth sample. Dithered exponential decimation offsets the exponential decimation approach by a probabilistic amount. Recursive decimation selects a portion of the queue and removes elements.
