摘要: Methods and apparatuses are provided for use in monitoring product placement within a shopping facility. Some embodiments provide an apparatus configured to determine product placement conditions within a shopping facility, comprising: a transceiver configured to wirelessly receive communications; a product monitoring control circuit coupled with the transceiver; a memory coupled with the control circuit and storing computer instructions that when executed by the control circuit cause the control circuit to: obtain a composite three-dimensional (3D) scan mapping corresponding to at least a select area of the shopping facility and based on a series of 3D scan data; evaluate the 3D scan mapping to identify multiple product depth distances; and identify, from the evaluation of the 3D scan mapping, when one or more of the multiple product depth distances is greater than a predefined depth distance threshold from the reference offset distance of the product support structure.

摘要: A system is configured to obtain locations of a mobile device (1) and obtain presence detection information. The locations are determined using visible light signals and dead reckoning information recorded at different moments. The presence detection information indicates presence detected using presence sensor devices (31, 32) at the different moments. The system is further configured to obtain sensor locations and sensor fields of view, determine sensor orientations based on the locations of the mobile device, the sensor locations and the presence detection information, and determine a sensor coverage area (61, 62), comprising gaps in the sensor coverage area, based on the sensor locations, the sensor orientations and the sensor fields of view. The system is also configured to determine one or more parameters for presence detection based on the gaps in the sensor coverage area and output the parameters or a presence detection result which has been determined using the parameters.

摘要: An underwater communications network may include spaced apart nodes on a bottom of a body of water. The underwater communications network may also include fiber optic cabling connecting the spaced apart nodes. Each node may include a frame, a node short-range navigation device carried by the frame, and an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) carried by the frame after delivering a fiber optic cable along a navigation path from an adjacent node. The UUV may be configured to cooperate with the node short-range navigation device during an end portion of the navigation path adjacent the frame.

摘要: A beacon with a preferably anodized aluminum body, cylindrical in shape, and threaded. The exact diameter and thread size of a water catcher cap is defined by the accompanying MWIR/LWIR beacon it threads onto. The accompanying component male thread allows the water catching cover to be threaded down completely for when the MWIR/LWIR beacon is powered on, thus creating an IR iris for the beacon emission, also while cooling the MWIR/LWIR beacon by being able to capture water within its open space cavity between the accompanying component and the water catching cover wall. Further in a wet environment, the open nature of the water catching cover permits rapid quenching by ambient water and refill of water catcher. Alternatively, when thread in the upmost position it protects the accompanying MWIR/LWIR beacon point of emission.

摘要: Methods and apparatuses are provided for use in monitoring product placement within a shopping facility. Some embodiments provide an apparatus configured to determine product placement conditions within a shopping facility, comprising: a transceiver configured to wirelessly receive communications; a product monitoring control circuit coupled with the transceiver; a memory coupled with the control circuit and storing computer instructions that when executed by the control circuit cause the control circuit to: obtain a composite three-dimensional (3D) scan mapping corresponding to at least a select area of the shopping facility and based on a series of 3D scan data; evaluate the 3D scan mapping to identify multiple product depth distances; and identify, from the evaluation of the 3D scan mapping, when one or more of the multiple product depth distances is greater than a predefined depth distance threshold from the reference offset distance of the product support structure.
