These system s may help a person reach a gate in an airport[1] or a shop in a mall [2], navigate a museum [3], or find one’s car in a parking lot [4]. Among the variousapproaches considered in the literature , technology based on inertial sensors have a number of practicaladvantages. Fo r example, inertial-based odometry does not require the installation of infrastr ucturesuch as Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons [5] . In addition, no prior calibration (“fingerprinting”) isnecessary, unlike for systems based on Wi-Fi [6] or BLE beacons. Compared with systems that use a camerato determine the user’s location (visua l-based odometry [7]), and that, thus, req uire good un-occludedvisibility of the scene, inertial systems are able to trac k the user even when they keep the phone in theirpocket. The downside of this m odality is that the user’s location is tracked by integrating inertial data, which leads to possibly large errors due to accumulated drift. A number of strategi es to deal with drift havebeen proposed, including zero-velocity updates [8], spatial constraints (e.g., Bayes filtering using a mapof the environment [9]), and machine learnin g [10]. Multiple well-calibrated inertial datasets (containingdata from accelerometer and gyros) collected from regular s martphones carried by human walkers havebeen made available in recent years [10-12].

Powder-based additive manufa cturing can be used with various powdered materials andits flexibility allows f or geometrically complex three-dimensional structures. As with other additive manufacturing processes, the object is first modeled with data, and then computeri zed equipment thenbuilds the object layer-by-layer. In a powder-based process, the layers are formed by sintering, bonding, orotherwise fusing powder granules .

Sens ors associated with refrigeration equipment may detect specificconditions for t he refrigeration equipment and if these conditions are detected, the system send s alerts.For example, the sensors may detect certain condition that needs human intervention and send alerts. Thecondition may indicate equipment that needs m aintenance, faulty equipment, or even certain dangerouscondition for the equipm ent. For example, if the temperature of the refrigeration equipment is determined to be too high, the system may send an alert to an operator, requesting human intervention. An operatormay monitor alerts generated by several such refrigera tion equipment instances. The operator may receivea very large number of alert messages. A very high rate of alerts wastes bandwidth and computing resourcesan d provides poor user experience since the operator monitoring the alerts may sta rt ignoring the alertsif there are too many alerts. As a result, alerts that ma y be reporting faulty refrigeration equipment ordangerous conditions may get ig nored resulting in serious consequences.”

The most common of these devices are APCs, which often are either hydraulic or robotic in type.Hydraulic cleaners v ary water flow for movement, while robotic cleaners typically employ electric mo torsto cause motion. Hydraulic APCs, furthermore, subdivide into “pressure-side ” and “suction-side” cleaners,with pressure-side cleaners being fluidly connect ed to outputs of pumps of pool water circulation systemsand suction-side cleane rs being fluidly connected to inputs of such pumps. Traditional APCs may include asingle on-board battery pack such that the APC does not require cabling for r eceiving power from outsidethe pool or spa. However, APCs for large pools may r un out of charge before completing an operationsuch as a cleaning cycle, thereb y requiring an interruption to the cleaning cycle such that the APC canbe recha rged.”

Digital im age processing refers to the use of a computer to edit a digitalimage using an algorithm or a processing network. In some cases, image processing software can be usedfor various image processing tasks, such as image editing, image restora tion, image generation, etc. Someimage processing systems may implement machine learning techniques, for example, to perform tasks usingpredictive models (e.g ., without explicitly programing the system for each task), to perform tasks wit hmore accuracy or in less time, to perform tasks using special-purpose hardware , etc.

It can help people easily clean up daily garbage and dirt at thebottom of swim ming pool, completely changing the previous manual cleaning way, so that the cle aningwork becomes no longer troublesome. In order to realize the function of au tonomously cleaning underwater, in addition to good water-proof performance, th e robot also needs a pair of “eyes” capable of routerecognition, and this pair of eyes are path navigation systems thereof. Generally, such kind of navigationsystem uses a measurement manner in which an acceleration sensor and a gyroscope are combined toacquire a trajectory of a moving object, so as to control the m ovement trend thereof.
