CPC Class H04N

Visual inspection methods, systems, and apparatuses are presented for the in situ visual inspection of aircraft cabin windows installed in an aircraft from within an aircraft cabin, and where access and ability to visually inspect such aircraft cabin windows is otherwise restricted by placement of aircraft cabin fixtures blocking ordinary viewing of such aircraft cabin window from within an aircraft cabin. The visual inspection is conducted by activating an image capturing device of a personal electronic device incorporated into or otherwise in communication with an aircraft cabin fixture positioned adjacent to an aircraft cabin window.

A system controls a work machine that loads materials onto a conveyance vehicle. The system includes a controller and a detection device. The controller controls the work machine in an automatic control mode in which work is performed automatically. The detection device detects an approach of the conveyance vehicle toward the work machine. The automatic control mode includes a loading mode in which the work machine is caused to move to perform loading work for loading onto the conveyance vehicle, and an other mode other than the loading mode. The other mode includes at least one of a mode for gathering fallen materials and a digging mode for further increasing the materials by digging. The controller causes the automatic control mode to transition from the other mode to the loading mode when the approach of the conveyance vehicle is detected.

A captured image acquisition unit configured to acquire a captured image captured by an imaging device mounted on a work vehicle. A posture image acquisition unit configured to acquire a posture image representing at least one of a roll angle and a pitch angle of the work vehicle. A display image generation unit configured to generate a display image in which the posture image is disposed on the captured image so as to display the posture image at a position facing the operator's seat in a width direction of the display device. A display control unit configured to output a display signal for displaying a display image to the display device.

A sensor interface module for an inspection robot includes a scissor lift for varied radial positioning of, and a universal sensor mount for mounting, a selected one of a plurality of different sensors. A visual inspection module for the robot includes an inspection unit for simultaneously visually inspecting a first surface facing a first direction and a spaced, second surface facing an opposing, second direction toward the first surface. The inspection unit includes a first visual sensor and a second visual sensor, each visual sensor facing in a direction different than the first and second directions. A first reflector reflects an image of the first surface to the first visual sensor, and a second reflector reflects an image of the second surface to the second visual sensor. A robot system may include the sensor interface module and the inspection unit.

A method of controlling a portable device including a camera, the method including: performing localization of the portable device using a localization algorithm having as an input image data representing images captured by the camera; identifying a current focus area of the camera; determining a desired focus area for the camera; determining that a change of focus is required when the desired focus area is different to the current focus area; and generating a control signal configured to cause the focus of the camera to change in respect of a new focus area.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an electronic component and a sensing circuit. The sensing circuit is electrically connected to the electronic component through a sensing node. The sensing circuit comprises a first capacitor, a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor and a fourth transistor. The second transistor is electrically connected between the first capacitor and a control terminal of the first transistor. The third transistor is electrically connected to the first transistor. The fourth transistor is electrically connected to the first transistor. The first capacitor is electrically connected between the sensing node and the control terminal of the first transistor.
