    Abstract: A computer controlled system, method, and corresponding computer data product, for utilizing a normalized gray scale pattern find within a machine vision system. The system and method (a) correlates a reference image having a first spatial resolution having no particular degree of rotation within a first search region of interest of an acquired image to find a potential match location, (b) correlates a rotated reference image having the first spatial resolution at a particular degree of rotation within the first search region of interest to find a potential match location, (c) selects the potential match location and the particular degree of rotation corresponding to the highest correlation value, (d) increases the spatial resolution of the reference image at the particular degree of rotation to generate a new reference image and correlating the new reference image within a second search region of interest centered at the selected potential match location, (e) selects an updated potential match location corresponding to a location having the highest correlation value that is completely within the search region of interest, (f) repeats steps (d) and (e) for all available resolutions for the reference image, and (g) selects a match location and orientation of a reference image within the acquired image corresponding to the location having the highest correlation value.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to an electronic device enclosure having a water resistant property capable of withstanding a predetermined minimum displacement force. In an illustrative example, a pressed fit self-aligning device enclosure (PFSADE) may include a housing and a cover. The housing, for example, may include an opening configured to receive electronic components during an assembly processing. After the electronic components are installed, for example, the cover may be coupled to the housing to cover the opening. For example, the cover may include an edge surface around a perimeter of the cover and at least one self-aligning element (SAE) extending orthogonal to the edge surface. For example, the SAE may align the cover in a relative position to the housing, and to withstand a predetermined minimum displacement force threshold. Various embodiments may advantageously prevent leakage due to out of tolerance alignment between the housing and the cover.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to pairing a receiver with an emitter based on a presence of an amplitude of a spectral profile at at least one predetermined frequency. In an illustrative example, a receiver may receive, from the emitter, an emitted optical signal modulated by the at least one predetermined frequency. A receiver may, for example, generate a digital signal corresponding to the optical signal received. A controller may, for example, generate the spectral profile from the digital signal. The controller may, for example, apply a predetermined threshold to the spectral profile. The controller may, for example, generate an output signal based on the presence of the amplitude of the spectral profile above the first predetermined threshold at the at least one predetermined frequency. Various embodiments may advantageously discriminate a corresponding emitter to establish an optical source-to-detector-link, for example, in the presence of other emitters and/or optically noisy environments.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the technology disclosed herein relate to a sensor device. An elongate sleeve has a first end and a second end and extends along a longitudinal axis. A plurality of sensors are fixed relative to the sleeve. A first endcap is coupled to the first end, where the first endcap has an endcap body. A first axle is coupled to the endcap body, where the first axle extends along the longitudinal axis and the first axle defines a retaining feature. An intermediate component is coupled to the first axle, and the intermediate component is selectively rotatable about the longitudinal axis. The sensor device has an orientation locking structure that is configured to be engaged to selectively fix the orientation of the intermediate component about the longitudinal axis relative to the endcap body.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to enabling a radar system to use different sensing mechanisms to estimate a distance from a target based on different detection zones (e.g., far-field and near-field). In an illustrative example, a curve fitting method may be applied for near-field sensing, and a Fourier transform may be used for far-field sensing. A predetermined set of rules may be applied to select when to use the near-field sensing mechanism and when to use the far-field mechanism. The frequency of a target signal within a beat signal that has less than two sinusoidal cycles may be estimated with improved accuracy. Accordingly, the distance of a target that is within a predetermined distance range (e.g., two meters range for 24 GHz ISM band limitation) may be reliably estimated.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to an alignment system including an alignment source module (ASM) and an alignment indicator module (AIM) configured to be releasably coupled to a first unit and a second unit, respectively, of a pair of optoelectronic arrays. In an illustrative example, the ASM may be oriented, when coupled, to emit an optical beam in substantial alignment with a first optical axis of the first unit. The AIM may, for example, be configured, when coupled, to provide a visible indication when the optical beam is within a predetermined near-alignment orientation range relative to a second optical axis of the second unit. Each of the AIM and the ASM may, for example, be configured to axially couple along respective longitudinal axes of the first unit and the second. Various embodiments may advantageously facilitate manipulation of the pair of optoelectronic arrays into near alignment with each other.
