An object counting system includes an acquisition means for acquiring information of an estimation area which is a partial area of an image with which partial area a predetermined condition related to objects to be counted shown in the image are associated, the estimation area being a unit of area for estimating the number of the objects to be counted, a setting means for setting the estimation area in the image in such a manner that the estimation area indicated by the acquired information of the estimation area includes the objects to be counted which are not included in the objects to be counted in a different estimation area, and which satisfy the predetermined condition, an estimation means for estimating, in each estimation area, the number of the objects to be counted shown in the estimation area set in the image, and a computation means for computing a density of the objects to be counted in an area where predetermined areas in the estimation area are overlapped using the number of the objects to be counted that has been estimated in each estimation area.

A walking measurement device is provided that includes a timing detection unit configured to detect an impact generation timing at which an impact resulting from a landing of a left foot or a right foot has been generated; an acceleration sensor configured to repeatedly detect, at predetermined time intervals, an acceleration in a lateral direction along which the left foot and the right foot are arranged side by side; and a first determination unit configured to determine whether the impact generation timing corresponds to a landing timing of the left foot or a landing timing of the right foot based on the impact generation timing detected by the timing detection unit and the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor.

Various structures and methods are disclosed related to configurable scrambling circuitry. Embodiments can be configured to support one of a plurality of protocols. Some embodiments relate to a configurable multilane scrambler that can be adapted either to combine scrambling circuits across a plurality of lanes or to provide independent lane-based scramblers. Some embodiments are configurable to select a scrambler type. Some embodiments are configurable to adapt to one of a plurality of protocol-specific scrambling polynomials. Some embodiments relate to selecting between least significant bit (LSB) and most significant bit (MSB) ordering of data. In some embodiments, scrambler circuits in each lane are adapted to handle data that is more than one bit wide.

Systems and method to measure a population size of mobile devices that have visited a region during a time period, by: converting location data of mobile devices into visitation data using a grid reference system, where for each mobile device and each of a plurality of time intervals in the time period, the visitation data identifies whether or not the mobile device has visited the region in the time interval; applying the visitation data as a capture history in an imaginary capture-recapture exercise, where whether or not a device has visited the region during a time interval represents whether the device is captured in the exercise in the respective capture occasion corresponding to the time interval; and estimating the population size based on an estimate of a population size of mobile devices that are not captured in the exercise from a capture-recapture statistical modeling of the capture history.

A molded part that is made of synthetic material and that has a rigid frame and at least one movable portion that is movable and/or deformable relative to the rigid frame. The at least one movable portion is connected, during molding, to the rigid frame via at least one breakable bridge of material. The at least one breakable bridge of material is broken while the molded part is being assembled, or while the molded part is being used for the first time.

Breakage of electrical components inside is prevented when live wire insertion-and-removal is performed after inhibition of an increase in costs. A coin processing device 1 includes a coin sorting unit 3, a coin housing unit 2, and a harness 4. The coin housing unit has a first connector 21 including a first terminal TH2, a second terminal TL1, and a first ground terminal TG1. The coin sorting unit includes: a second connector 31 coupled to the first connector through the harness, the second connector 31 including the third terminal TH4 to which a high voltage is supplied through the first terminal, a fourth terminal TL2 configured to supply a low voltage to the second terminal, and a second ground terminal TG2 grounded through the first ground terminal; a low-voltage power source circuit 32 configured to generate the low voltage from the high voltage supplied to the third terminal, and configured to output the low voltage from a low-voltage output terminal 32t; and a switch circuit 34. The switch circuit disconnects electrical connection between the low-voltage output terminal and the fourth terminal in a case where a difference between a voltage at the second ground terminal and a voltage at the low-voltage output terminal has been less than a threshold value.

An electronic single-space parking meter mechanism is provided. The electronic single-space parking meter mechanism includes an inner housing having a front side and a rear side. The meter mechanism includes wireless communications hardware including an antenna. The meter mechanism includes a payment reader supported by the inner housing and an electronic display screen supported by the inner housing. At least a portion of the antenna is located above at least a portion of the electronic display screen.

The present inventions, in one aspect, are directed to systems and circuitry for and/or methods of establishing communication having one or more pairing facilitator-intermediary devices (for example, a network connected server) to enable or facilitate pairing and/or registering at least two devices (e.g., (i) a portable biometric monitoring device and (ii) a smartphone, laptop and/or tablet) to, for example, recognize, interact and/or enable interoperability between such devices. The pairing facilitator-intermediary device may responsively communicates information to one or more of the devices (to be paired or registered) which, in response, enable or facilitate such devices to pair or register. The present inventions may be advantageous where one or both of the devices to be paired or registered is/are not configured (e.g., include a user interface or certain communication circuitry that is configured or includes functionality) to pair devices without use of a facilitator-intermediary device.
