摘要： The disclosure relates to detecting and clearing debris from a sensor window. For instance, a system may include the sensor window and one or more processors. The sensor window may include a transparent thin film conductor. The one or more processors may be configured to identify a change in capacitance using the transparent thin film conductor, detect debris on the sensor window using the change in capacitance, and activate a cleaning system in order to clear the detected debris from the sensor window.

摘要： A method is proposed for managing a geographical information system adapted for use with at least one pointing device. The geographical information system includes a central unit accessing a data base containing a plurality of digital objects. Each digital object possesses an identifier and is defined in the data base by a geometrical component defining a geographical position and by a descriptive component defining at least one descriptive attribute. The central unit is adapted for determining, as a function of the geometrical components of the digital objects and of information on the position and orientation of a given pointing device, whether the position of one of the digital objects is being pointed at by the given pointing device. The central unit carries out a step of creating an association between at least two digital objects contained in the data base, in order to form a group of associated digital objects.

摘要： A system and method for gas exposure monitoring of a work area are described. The system may include components that receive an alarm data item from a sensor device. The alarm data item may be generated in response to a first user being exposed to a gas concentration measured by the sensor device. A processor may receive a location of the sensor device in the work area based on a location identifier of the sensor device. A second user located within a predetermined vicinity of the sensor device may be identified. The second user may be identified by the processor. The system may transmit an indication of the alarm data item received from the first user and the location of the sensor device in the work area to the second user. The transmission may be automatic on detection of the second user's location.

摘要： A checking fixture for a steering knuckle. In use, a workpiece is mounted on the checking fixture, three locating points of the workpiece in the X direction respectively correspond to a supporting pin I, a supporting pin II and a supporting pin III, a locating taper hole limiting the motion of the workpiece in a YZ plane corresponds to the floating pin, and a locating point of the workpiece in the Y direction levelly fit to a supporting surface of a locating pin; after location is completed, the workpiece is tightly clamped by a jacking clamp, a press clamp I and a press clamp II. The checking fixture for the steering knuckle can measure the position accuracy of each hole of the steering knuckle workpiece, and can detect whether the relative height of the flange plane of the workpiece relative to the X-direction locating points is qualified.

摘要： A portable device is equipped with a signaling circuit that responds to a searching signal (e.g., hand clap, light flash, RF signal, infrared light) generated to locate the portable device when it is misplaced or lost. The device generates a location signal to enable the user to find the device. The location signal may be an audible, light, vibration, or other signal that calls attention to the device to enable the user to find it. The device may also sense events which cause it to disable the sensor, render it less sensitive, or suppress the generation of the location signal. The sensed event is any event, e.g., heat, motion, which indicates that the device is not, in fact, lost.

摘要： A method and a system of determining a position of a mobile machine are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, the system may include a first sensor configured to generate a first signal indicative of a parameter of the mobile machine. The system may also include a second sensor configured to generate a second signal indicative of a pose of the mobile machine. The system may further include a controller in communication with the first and second sensors. The controller may be configured to generate one or more estimated poses of the mobile machine based on the first signal. The controller may further be configured to update each estimated pose with a fraction of a correction. The correction may be determined, based on the second signal, in a measurement update stage of a Kalman filter.

摘要： Methods and systems for localizing an asset using the modulated backscatter from an asset tag and one or more marker tags are described. The system includes the reader, a location module and one or more marker tags. The location estimates for the asset tag are based partially on a prior knowledge of the location of each of the one or more marker tags. The location for each marker tag may be stored in a database. The location module determines a location estimate for the asset tag using the estimated parameters of the modulated backscatter signals received from one or more marker tags and from the asset tag. Using the known locations of the marker tags, a location estimate of the asset tag can be determined. The location estimate may be a relative location, an absolute location, and/or may be a zone including the marker tags. A mobile reader using the marker tags can localize asset tags throughout a large area and may, for example, take an inventory of assets throughout the large area.

摘要： A system is described for relative positioning of tags in a real time locating system. The system may include a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The memory may store layout information for a work area which includes architectural and infrastructure attributes. The processor may determine a number of access points to position in the work area. The processor may determine a placement of a tag in the work area based on readings gathered by the access points. The processor may further determine a level of accuracy for a location of the tag within the work area. The processor may provide a graphical representation of the positioning of the access points in the work area, as well as an indication of the accuracy of the tag within the work area.
