Abstract: A method of characterizing a wet paint layer 4a of a painted body 2 by paint layer parameters based on fitting to a physical model is provided. The method is carried out by a sensor system 1 in a non-contact manner, the sensor system comprising an emitter system 10 for emitting THz radiation, a detector system 20 for detecting THz radiation, and a processing unit 30 operationally coupled to the emitter system 10 and the detector system 20. The method comprises: Emitting, by the emitter system 10, a THz radiation signal 60 towards the painted body 2 such that the THz radiation interacts with the wet paint layer 4a, the wet paint layer 4a having not yet finished a drying process during which the wet paint layer becomes a dry paint layer; Detecting, by the detector system 20, a response signal 74 being the detected THz radiation signal 70 having interacted with the wet paint layer 4a; Determining model parameters of the physical model by optimizing the model parameters such that a predicted response signal of the physical model is fitted to the detected response signal, wherein the model parameters are indicative of optical properties of the wet paint layer 4a describing the interaction of the THz radiation signal with the wet paint layer 4a; and Determining, from the determined model parameters, the paint layer parameters, wherein the paint layer parameters include a predicted dry layer thickness of the wet paint layer 4a.

Abstract: Systems and methods read machine readable symbols, the systems and methods capture multiple images of the symbol and can locate symbol data region(s) from an image even when the symbol data is corrupted and not decodable. Binary matrices are generated of the symbol data regions obtained from the multiple images and can be accumulated to generate a decodable image. A correspondence can be established among multiple images acquired on the same symbol when the symbol has moved from one image to the next.

Abstract: In one example implementation, the present disclosure provides a direct current (DC) restoration circuit for restoring the DC component of a synchronization signal provided over an alternating current (AC) coupled link from a transmitting circuit to a receiving circuit. During a period of inactivity in the synchronization signal, the synchronization signal may experience a drift towards the common mode, and may affect the ability for the synchronization signal to properly trigger the receiving circuit. The DC restoration circuit is configured to hold the synchronization signal steady during the period of inactivity, and allow the AC component of the synchronization signal pass through to the receiving circuit during the period of activity to alleviate the problem of baseline drift in the synchronization signal.
