Audio spatial localization is accomplished by utilizing input parameters representing the physical and geometrical aspects of a sound source to modify a monophonic representation of the sound or voice and generate a stereo signal which simulates the acoustical effect of the localized sound. The input parameters include location and velocity, and may also include directivity, reverberation, and other aspects. The input parameters are used to generate control parameters which control voice processing. Thus, each voice is Doppler shifted, separated into left and right channels, equalized, and one channel is delayed, according to the control parameters. In addition, the left and right channels may be separated into front and back channels, which are separately processed to simulate front and back location and motion. The stereo signals may be fed into headphones, or may be fed into a crosstalk cancellation device for use with loudspeakers.

A robotic vehicle configured for autonomous or semi-autonomous operation in a rail environment is provided.

The actions can include one or more actions related to decoupling and/or attaching rail vehicles, and can be implemented by performing three-dimensional image processing. The vehicle can be configured to move with any movement of a rail vehicle on which one or more actions are being performed. In an alternative embodiment, the various components configured to perform the action are implemented at a stationary location with respect to a rail line.

The method includes the first step of obtaining a temporary standard capacitance value of a touch detection point of the capacitive touch screen when the capacitive touch screen is powered on, the second step of obtaining a first difference value of the difference between a backup standard capacitance value of the touch detection point and the temporary standard capacitance value of the touch detection point, and the third step of determining the standard capacitance value of the touch detection point according to the first difference value and a preset first threshold value. The capacitive touch screen calibration method and the capacitive touch device are applicable to the field of touch screen detection.

A radio resource scheduling method for scheduling radio resources used for communications in a radio communication system includes user equipment configured to communicate with transceiver stations on the radio resources. The transceiver stations are configured to exchange coordination messages concerning radio resources affected by intra-system interference. The radio resource scheduling method includes allocating to each user equipment served by a transceiver station a corresponding radio resource and a corresponding transmission power level to communicate with the serving transceiver station. Allocating is based on coordination messages exchanged by the serving transceiver station.

A disinfestation treatment chamber for treating fruit, flower and vegetable commodities subject to infestation by quarantine pests. The commodities are disinfested so as to meet quarantine restrictions without adversely affecting the quality of the commodity. The commodity is heated inside of the chamber in hot air having a relative humidity of 30-85% until the temperature of the commodity exceeds the thermal death point temperature of the target pest but is not so high as to adversely affect the quality of the commodity. The temperature of the commodity is held at this temperature until the pest is killed. The commodity is loaded into the treatment chamber in bins onto a low friction conveyor track system which transports the bins from one end of the chamber to the other. The commodities are treated while they are inside of the treatment chamber. After treatment of the commodities, the bins are unloaded using the low friction conveyor track system out of the opposite end of the treatment chamber. The chamber includes a fan/heat exchanger located inside the treatment chamber and positioned under the commodity bins. The space directly above the fan/heat exchanger is left unobstructed during treatment to enhance the airflow through the commodity bins.

A positive drive endless rubber track system for the undercarriage of a vehicle, the rubber track including spaced guide lugs projecting inwardly therefrom, the undercarriage including a drive wheel having spaced sprocket pins thereon, idler wheels, and tension adapting wheels around which the endless rubber track is guided and driven by the driving wheel, the drive wheel being attached to the vehicle and having an up-ratio in the range of about 0.5% to about 4.0%.

A system for providing flight control instructions to an aircraft is claimed, wherein using aircraft position or velocity data, an outer control loop algorithm determines an aircraft target angle and an inner control loop algorithm outputs commands to cause the aircraft to achieve the target angle. Utilizing the commands outputted from the control loops, aircraft are able to autonomously take-off and land, station hold in a very precise manner, and fly in very close proximity to other objects with little chance of collision.

The invention discloses a method and apparatus for carrying out root authority management at terminal equipment. The method comprises the following steps: sending a root authority obtaining request to a system and obtaining the root authority authorized by the system; starting a service process with the root authority and inserting a communication service process in the system based on the process; receiving an operation request sent by another called process by using the communication service process and then sending the request to the service process with the root authority; and executing the operation by using the service process with the root authority and then feeding back an operation result to another called process by the communication service process. With the method and the apparatus, the operation failure caused by using or inhibition of the root authority can be effectively avoided, thereby substantially improving the data communication efficiency.

In a redundant configuration with multiple power sources connected in parallel to enhance reliability, a power source in which an overvoltage failure occurred has been difficult to identify and unable to be deactivated, which has impeded the improvement of reliability. However, it has become possible to deactivate selectively only the power source in which an overvoltage failure has occurred, by providing a independency-discrimination circuit that identifies the occurrence of the overvoltage failure by use of the state of a parallel operation control circuit, and connecting the independency-discrimination circuit, an overvoltage detection circuit, and a connection circuit.
