Publication number: US20220091174A1
\n Application number: 17/538,441
\n \n Abstract:
A partial discharge (PD) transducer that includes a PD sensor configured to sense a PD event of an electrical system. At least one light emitting device (LED) is arranged in series with the PD sensor. The LED is configured to receive the electrical sensor signal from the PD sensor and to generate a light signal in response to the electrical sensor signal.\n

\n Publication number: US20220076434A1
\n Application number: 17/529,012
\n \n Abstract:
One embodiment can provide a system for detecting occlusion at an orifice of a three-dimensional (3D) printer nozzle while the printer nozzle is jetting liquid droplets. During operation, the system uses one or more cameras to capture an image of the orifice of the printer nozzle while the 3D printer nozzle is jetting liquid droplets. The system performs an image-analysis operation on the captured image to identify occluded regions within the orifice of the 3D printer nozzle, compute an occlusion fraction based on the determined occluded regions, and generate an output based on the computed occlusion fraction, thereby facilitating effective maintenance of the 3D printer.\n

\n Publication number: US20220076072A1
\n Application number: 17/527,859
\n \n Abstract:
One embodiment provides a system that facilitates efficient collection of training data. During operation, the system obtains, by a recording device, a first image of a physical object in a scene which is associated with a three-dimensional (3D) world coordinate frame. The system marks, on the first image, a plurality of vertices associated with the physical object, wherein a vertex has 3D coordinates based on the 3D world coordinate frame. The system obtains a plurality of second images of the physical object in the scene while changing one or more characteristics of the scene. The system projects the marked vertices on to a respective second image to indicate a two-dimensional (2D) bounding area associated with the physical object.\n
