Abstract: A robotic system including at least two acoustic sensors, spaced apart, for receiving respective versions of a respective continuous ultrasonic waveform emitted by each of one or more positional elements, each of the respective continuous ultrasonic waveforms comprising a respective modulated carrier and an electromagnetic sensor for receiving a respective electromagnetic signal emitted by a respective electromagnetic emitter of a same respective one of the positional elements, and a computing device. The respective electromagnetic signal is emitted in coordination with the respective ultrasonic waveform emitted by the same positional element. The computing device decodes the versions of the ultrasonic waveform and the electromagnetic signal to measure time delays between the versions of the respective ultrasonic waveform and the respective electromagnetic signal, converts the time delays to distances, and triangulates the distances to determine positions of the positional elements. A robot maneuvers based on the determined positions.

Abstract: Objects are classified using a normalized cross correlation (NCC) measure to compare two images acquired under non-uniform illumination conditions. An input pattern is classified to assign a tentative classification label and value. The input pattern is assigned to an output node in the radial basis function network having the largest classification value. If the input pattern and an image associated with the node, referred to as a node image, both have uniform illumination, then the node image is accepted and the probability is set above a user specified threshold. If the test image or the node image are not uniform, then the node image is not accepted and the classification value is kept as the value assigned by the classifier. If both the test image and the node image are not uniform, then an NCC measure is used and the classification value is set as the NCC value.

Abstract: A saturation-capable arithmetic logic unit (ALU) includes a
general-purpose comparator coupled to receive a data value and a
saturation threshold value during a saturation operation. Using
the general-purpose comparator of the ALU for saturation
minimizes circuit area without adversely affecting microprocessor
performance. In an unsigned saturation operation, the data value
is replaced with the threshold value when the data value is
greater than the threshold value. In a signed saturation
operation, positive data values are compared with an upper
threshold value and negative data values are compared with a
lower threshold value. In this manner, the data value need only
be compared to either the upper or lower threshold value, rather
than both. If the data value falls outside the bounds set by the
upper and lower threshold values, the data value is replaced with
the nearest threshold value.

Abstract: A method of controlling the torque transferred across each of the two clutches (32,34) of a dual
clutch transmission (10) during a gear shift, wherein the first of the two clutches (32) is the off-going
clutch and the second of the two clutches (34) is the on-coming clutch. The method includes the steps
of determining when a shift has been commanded, then sensing the speed of the driven member
of the off-going clutch, determining the desired clutch torque and slip profile for the changeover
of the clutches, and sensing the speed of the driven member of the on-coming clutch to determine
a target engine speed profile. Then, the method simultaneously controls the torque transfer
across each clutch so that the torque output of the transmission will be changed over from the off-going
clutch to the on-coming clutch by linearly decreasing the torque transferred across the off-going
clutch while linearly increasing the torque transferred across the on-coming clutch in an
inversely proportional rate to follow the clutch torque and slip profile and to cause the engine to
track the target engine speed profile. Finally, the pressure applied to the on-coming clutch is
varied, once the on-coming clutch is transferring all of the output torque, to cause the engine to
continue to track the target engine speed profile so that vehicle speed is maintained.

The method of solving the problem of nickname redundancy
includes checking whether a nickname identical to the
nickname of the device has already been registered; if the
nickname is the same as nicknames of other devices,
requesting assignment of the other nickname; if the
nickname is not the same as nicknames of other devices,
determining whether the nickname of the device has been
registered; and if the nickname of the device has not yet
been registered, registering the nickname.

Abstract: A razor head (2) has mutually spaced blade members (7) with straight front cutting
edges (8) which are mutually parallel and lie in a cutting plane (12). The blade
members (7) are curved. Imaginary median surfaces (16) of the blade members (7) are
continuously curved in the same sense away from the cutting plane (12), from the
cutting edges (8) toward the rear edges. The handle (1) has a pair of fork arms (6), the
distal ends of which are connected to the head at positions adjacent the respective ends
of the head (2). Each fork arm (6) has a groove (49) allowing pivoting of the distal end
about a pivot axis parallel to the head axis, the grooves (49) being mutually aligned on
the same side of the forked end portion (4) of the handle (1). Each groove (49) is filled
with a resiliently deformable material (54) which is deformed when a pivoting force is
applied to the razor head (2) during shaving and which restores the razor head (2) to a
normal position when the force is removed. The head (2) has undercut apertures (42) in
rear abutment surfaces (43), and the distal ends of the fork arms (6) have detent
elements (44) projecting forwardly from front abutment surfaces (46). The front and
rear abutment surfaces (46,43) abut against one another and the detent elements (44)
engage in the undercut apertures (42) in such a manner that the head (2) is fixed relative
to the distal ends of the fork arms (6), the distal ends being movable toward one another
