摘要： An agricultural applicator system is provided herein that includes a boom assembly and one or more nozzles positioned along the boom assembly. The one or more nozzles are configured to selectively dispense an agricultural product therefrom. A sensor is operably coupled with the boom assembly and is configured to capture data associated with one or more application variables. A controller is commutatively coupled to the sensor and includes a processor and associated memory. The memory stores instructions that, when implemented by the processor, configure the controller to receive the data associated with one or more application variables and provide a notification when the data associated with one or more application variables are outside of a range defined by a predefined lower and upper threshold. The controller may also pause an application operation of the agricultural product until the notification is acknowledged by an operator.

摘要： An electromagnetic wave radiation device includes multiple electromagnetic wave radiation circuits, a radiation switching element, and a controller. Each electromagnetic wave radiation circuit includes an electromagnetic wave radiation element, a capacitor, and a discharging switching element. The radiation switching element is connected to the cathode side of the multiple electromagnetic wave radiation elements included in the multiple electromagnetic wave radiation circuits The radiation switching element is capable of energizing the multiple electromagnetic wave radiation elements. The controller discharges the capacitor in any one electromagnetic wave radiation circuit, among the multiple electromagnetic wave radiation circuits, after causing the electromagnetic wave radiation element in the one electromagnetic wave radiation circuit to radiate using the radiation switching element and before causing the electromagnetic wave radiation element in another electromagnetic wave radiation circuits to radiate light.

摘要： Perception sensors of a vehicle can be used for various operating functions of the vehicle. A computing device may receive sensor data from the perception sensors, and may calibrate the perception sensors using the sensor data, to enable effective operation of the vehicle. To calibrate the sensors, the computing device may project the sensor data into a voxel space, and determine a voxel score comprising an occupancy score and a residual value for each voxel. The computing device may then adjust an estimated position and/or orientation of the sensors, and associated sensor data, from at least one perception sensor to minimize the voxel score. The computing device may calibrate the sensor using the adjustments corresponding to the minimized voxel score. Additionally, the computing device may be configured to calculate an error in a position associated with the vehicle by calibrating data corresponding to a same point captured at different times.

摘要： A first light beam transmits from a first location to a region of interest at a time t1a and reflects off at least one object disposed in the region of interest, producing a first reflected light beam. A time of flight (ToF) counter is incremented until the reflected first light beam is received back at the first location, whereupon ToF counter stops at time t1b. A second light beam transmits from the first location to the region of interest at time t2a subsequent to time t1b and reflects off the least one object to produce a second reflected light beam. ToF counter is decremented, starting from first count value, until the reflected second light beam is received back at the first location, whereupon ToF counter stops at time t2b. A real-time velocity of the object is computed based at least in part on t1a, t1b, t2a, and t2b.

摘要： A vehicle position and velocity estimation system based on camera and LIDAR data is disclosed. An embodiment includes: receiving input object data from a subsystem of a vehicle, the input object data including image data from an image generating device and distance data from a distance measuring device, the distance measuring device comprising one or more LIDAR sensors; determining a first position of a proximate object near the vehicle from the image data; determining a second position of the proximate object from the distance data; correlating the first position and the second position by matching the first position of the proximate object detected in the image data with the second position of the same proximate object detected in the distance data; determining a three-dimensional (3D) position of the proximate object using the correlated first and second positions; and using the 3D position of the proximate object to navigate the vehicle.

摘要： A sensor network, which includes a sensor controller serially coupled to a plurality of sensor modules, is configured to program the sensor modules so as to transfer measurement data to the sensor controller and to synchronize the sensor modules to picosecond accuracy via on-chip or on-module custom circuits and a physical layer protocol. The sensor network has applications for use in PET, LiDAR or FLIM applications. Synchronization, within picosecond accuracy, is achieved through use of a picosecond time digitization circuit. Specifically, the picosecond time digitization circuit is used to measure on-chip delays with high accuracy and precision. The delay measurements are directly comparable between separate chips even with voltage and temperature variations between chips.
