A measuring device for providing an angle of departure determining test signal to a device under test, is provided. The measuring device comprises a signal generator and a single output port. The signal generator is adapted to generate the angle of departure determining test signal, emulating an antenna array angle of departure determining signal, comprised of a plurality of individual array antenna signals, thereby emulating an angle of departure of the angle of departure determining test signal. The single output port is adapted to output the angle of departure determining test signal to the device under test.

Broadly, this disclosure discloses various computing technologies that include a processor in communication with an imaging device and with an illumination device. The processor receives a set of imaging data from the imaging device such that the processor is able to identify an object within the set of imaging data and determine a set of coordinates. The processor then sends the set of coordinates to the illumination device such that the illumination device can output an illumination based on the set of coordinates.

A computing device and method are provided for accelerating the coarse relocalization process of the computing device by generating a current fingerprint using signal data detected by sensors, statistically analyzing the current fingerprint for proximity to candidate fingerprints in fingerprint data to generate a ranked list, and subsequently retrieving map data corresponding to the closest matching fingerprints in the ranked list. The computing device may comprise a processor, a memory operatively coupled to the processor, and a fingerprint program stored in the memory and executed by the processor.

This specification generally discloses technology for tracking vehicle positions in a warehouse environment. A system receives stereoscopic image data from a camera on a forklift, in some implementations. The system recognizes an object that is represented in the stereoscopic image data, identifies a representation of the recognized object in a spatial model that identifies, for each of a plurality of objects in an environment, a corresponding location of the object in the environment, determines the location of the recognized object in the environment, determines a relative position between the forklift and the recognized object, based on a portion of the received stereoscopic image data that represents the recognized object, and determines a location of the forklift in the environment, based on the determined location of the recognized object in the environment, and the determined relative position between the forklift and the recognized object.

Integrated but detachable mini-camera for a mobile device. The mobile device comprises a main body and a detachable mini-camera configured to attach to and detach from a socket in the main body. The detachable mini-camera may comprise at least one camera and a rechargeable battery configured to, while the detached mini-camera is attached to the main body, charge from a battery in the main body via the socket. While the detachable mini-camera is detached from the main body, a wireless transceiver in the detachable mini-camera wirelessly communicates with a wireless transceiver in the main body, and a mobile application, executed by a processor in the main body, controls the detachable mini-camera and receives image data from the detachable mini-camera via the wireless communication.
