Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for providing a sheet product dispenser with automated product level tracking functionality are provided herein. Various product level sensors are disclosed herein including a product level sensor configured to emit a signal toward an outer circumference of a sheet product roll on a spindle extending along a longitudinal axis and to receive a reflected signal. The product level sensor is positioned a radial distance away from the spindle and aimed to emit the signal in a direction that is not parallel and not perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The product level sensor detects a parameter of the reflected signal corresponding to the distance between the product level sensor and the sheet product roll. Other example embodiments include mechanical product level sensors. Various communication protocols may be employed to limit transmission of data to conserve battery life while still maintaining desired communication functionality.

Abstract: A system and method of predicting fit of a wearable device from image data obtained by a computing device together with position and orientation of the computing device is provided. The system and method may include capturing a series of frames of image data, and detecting one or more fixed features in the series of frames of image data. Position and orientation data associated with the capture of the image data is combined with the position data related to the one or more fixed features, to extract depth data from the series of frames of image data. A three-dimensional model is generated based on the extracted depth data. The three-dimensional model and/or key points extracted therefrom, can be processed by a simulator and/or a machine learning model to predict fit of the wearable device for the user.

Abstract: Techniques are described for compensating for movements of sensors. A method includes receiving two sets of sensor data from two sets of sensors, where a first set of sensors are located on a roof of a cab of a semi-trailer truck and a second set of sensor data are located on a hood of the semi-trailer truck. The method also receives from a height sensor a measured value indicative of a height of the rear of a rear portion of the cab of the semi-trailer truck relative to a chassis of the semi-trailer truck, determines two correction values, one for each of the two sets of sensor data, and compensates for the movement of the two sets of sensors by generating two sets of compensated sensor data. The two sets of compensated sensor data are generated by adjusting the two sets of sensor data based on the two correction values.

Abstract: Examples of a light field metrology system for use with a display are disclosed. The light field metrology may capture images of a projected light field, and determine focus depths (or lateral focus positions) for various regions of the light field using the captured images. The determined focus depths (or lateral positions) may then be compared with intended focus depths (or lateral positions), to quantify the imperfections of the display. Based on the measured imperfections, an appropriate error correction may be performed on the light field to correct for the measured imperfections. The display can be an optical display element in a head mounted display, for example, an optical display element capable of generating multiple depth planes or a light field display.

Abstract: A load port includes a mounting base having: a movable plate; an opening portion mounted to a side of the mounting base through a board and having a driving assembly mounted on the board; and a movable door having a door panel, a lid-picking device and an inspection device mounted on a side surface of the door panel, and a connecting rod. The door panel is connected to the driving assembly and is movable relative to the board. The lid-picking device selectively closes a mounting opening of the board. When the load port carries a front opening unified pod (FOUP), it is able to inspect whether a wafer in the FOUP protrudes, tilts or overlaps with another wafer, and an amount of deformation of the wafer at the same time of opening the movable door, so as to reduce processing steps and improve production efficiency.
