Title: Microscopic instrument and method for repeated location and measurement using a series of digital images
Inventor: XINGYAO YANG
IPC: G02B21/36
Filed: 2020-11-13
Abstract: A microscopic instrument 200 includes a group 110 of imaging objective lenses 111,112 of different focal lengths in series. At least one optical splitter 130 is placed between the lenses splitting the light beam into optical channels. Multiple photoelectric imaging devices 141,142, are arranged with each one in the focal plane of an optical channel corresponding to the photoelectric imaging device. The component parts may be fixed by connection to a first mechanical structure forming a first integral structure. Microscopic observation relocates the microscopic instrument and observes an object repeatedly by using a series of previously acquired digital images. This is accomplished by placing an object to be measured on a workstation, adjusting a direction of an incident ray to one optical lens of a group of imaging objective lenses toward the object and generating an observation image using an electrical signal converted by each of the photoelectric imaging devices. A driving mechanism is controlled to perform multi-dimensional movement according to a series of digital images, generated previously, until the observation image and the series of digital images generated previously are matched with each other, so as to relocate the microscopic instrument and observe the object repeatedly.

Title: Electric power steering torque compensation
Inventor: HANS ANDERSEN
IPC: B62D6/00
Filed: 2020-01-29
Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for electric power steering torque compensation, e.g. onboard an autonomous vehicle. A planning circuit onboard the vehicle and connected to an EPS of the vehicle receives a plurality of compensatory torque signals, each being a data pair including a torque signal and a corresponding actual steering angle. The plurality of compensatory torque signals is used to determine a compensatory torque signal to modify an actual steering angle of a steering wheel of the vehicle to match an expected steering angle of the steering wheel. The planning circuit transmits the compensatory torque signal to a control circuit that controls the steering angle of the steering wheel. The EPS modifies the actual steering angle based on the compensatory torque signal resulting in a modified steering angle. Typically, determining the expected steering angle involves curve fitting a polynomial surface relating vehicle speed and steering angle to applied torque. A vehicle and a computer readable medium are also provided.

IPC: G06F16/27
Filed: 2020-09-11
Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to implement, in a database system, global table management operations for global tables or objects that are replicated across multiple locations. In embodiments, for a regional replica of a global table, a requested change to a metadata property of the replica (e.g., an attribute data type, a write throughput limit, or a time-to-live setting) is propagated to other replicas of the global table at other locations. In embodiments, before performing the requested management operation, the database system may first verify that the operation can be successfully performed in all locations. In embodiments, the operation may be performed optimistically without verification, and rolled back if it cannot be performed everywhere. In embodiments, to serialize management operations on a global table, the database system may check for other pending management operations via a shared control object, and proceed when any pending operations are finished.
