Abstract: An automatic electronic rangefinder has a central processing unit determining whether the rangefinder is perpendicular or parallel to a horizontal plane; a ranging module electrically connected to the central processing unit to detect the distance to a first target object to be measured; an inertial sensing unit electrically connected to the central processing unit to measure the angle between the lengthwise edge of the rangefinder and the horizontal plane; and a shell covering the central processing unit. When the central processing unit determines that the rangefinder is parallel or perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the central processing unit controls the ranging module to measure the distance between the rangefinder and the first target object.

Abstract: A lidar system includes one or more light sources configured to generate a first beam of light and a second beam of light, a scanner configured to scan the first and second beams of light across a field of regard of the lidar system, and a receiver configured to detect the first beam of light and the second beam of light scattered by one or more remote targets. The scanner includes a rotatable polygon mirror that includes multiple reflective surfaces angularly offset from one another along a periphery of the polygon mirror, the reflective surfaces configured to reflect the first and second beams of light to produce a series of scan lines as the polygon mirror rotates. The scanner also includes a pivotable scan mirror configured to (i) reflect the first and second beams of light and (ii) pivot to distribute the scan lines across the field of regard.

Abstract: A method for coupling a relative coordinate system of a relative automatic position finding system to an absolute coordinate system of an absolute localization system includes capturing optically identifiable identifiers of the localization system using a light sensor of a mobile apparatus of the relative automatic position finding system. The method further includes ascertaining a relative position for each of the captured optically identifiable identifiers in the relative coordinate system of the relative automatic position finding system, retrieving absolute positions of the optically identifiable identifiers in the absolute coordinate system, determining a position of the light sensor in the absolute coordinate system, and coupling, based on the determined position of the light sensor, the relative coordinate system to the absolute coordinate system.

Abstract: A service satellite having a body, a controller and a docking unit including a telescopic arm, mounted on a 6-DOF parallel manipulator, and two additional gripping arms. The telescopic arm, deployed from the 6-DOF manipulator, is equipped with a pair of rapid closure digits. The telescopic arm facilitates capturing the launch adaptor ring of a client spacecraft, even during tumbling. The 6-DOF parallel manipulator has force sensors and can accommodate post capturing relative motion through active compliance control and controlled de-tumbling, for avoiding generation of high forces in the telescopic arm. After relative rate annihilation, the telescopic arm retracts and the client ring is secured to the 6-DOF manipulator with the help of a pair of clamps. After the ring is secured, two additional gripping arms secure a rigid connection with the launcher ring so that the docking connection comprises three equally spaced connections.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating device is disclosed. The aerosol-generating device of the present disclosure includes a heater configured to heat an aerosol-generating substance, a battery configured to supply electric power to the heater, a sensor disposed adjacent to the battery and configured to output a signal, and a controller. The controller determines the distance between the sensor and the battery based on a change in a signal received from the sensor. When the distance between the sensor and the battery is shorter than a predetermined reference distance, the controller performs control such that supply of electric power from the battery to the heater is interrupted.

Abstract: Operating the LIDAR system includes transmitting a system output signal from the LIDAR system such that a sample region is illuminated by the system output signal. Different portions of the system output signal are transmitted during different data periods. The method also includes combining light that returns to the LIDAR system from the system output signal with light from a reference signal so as to generate beating signals that are each associated with a different one of the data periods. A set of multiple candidate frequencies is generated for each of the data periods. Each of the candidate frequencies for a data period represents a possible beat frequency for the beating signal associated with the data period. The method further includes using the candidate frequencies for a check one of the data periods to identify which of the candidate frequencies for a subject one of the data periods is the beat frequency for the beating signal associated with the subject data period.

Abstract: A method for increasing a detection distance of a surface of an object illuminated by near-IR electromagnetic radiation, including: (a) directing near-IR electromagnetic radiation from a near-IR electromagnetic radiation source towards an object at least partially coated with a near-IR reflective coating that increases a near-IR electromagnetic radiation detection distance by at least 15% as measured at a wavelength in a near-IR range as compared to the same object coated with a color matched coating which absorbs more of the same near-IR radiation, where the color matched coating has a ΔE color matched value of 1.5 or less when compared to the near-IR reflective coating; and (b) detecting reflected near-IR electromagnetic radiation reflected from the near-IR reflective coating. A system for detecting proximity of vehicles is also disclosed.
