SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IMPROVED LOCATION IDENTIFICATION WITH PRISM
A prism for reflecting a laser includes: a single mounting cap at a first end of the prism, and first to seventh trihedral corner (TC) reflectors, each including a reflective surface including: three side edges, and three corners at respective intercept points between the side edges, wherein the seventh TC reflector, among the first to seventh TC reflectors, is on a second end of the prism opposite to the first end of the prism.
Leveling method and system with learn function
A system and method to level a vehicle. The method utilizes a reference current draw unique for each individual actuator that is measured and saved at measured temperature and actuator actuating duration times. The reference current draws are adjusted by a fixed predetermined compensation increment and by a variable predetermined time and temperature increment. During operating function steps, actual extend and retract current draws are measured, which may be at another temperature and duration time. The adjusted reference current draws are compared to the actual extend and retract current draws to determine when desired conditions such as ground contact or fully retracted condition are achieved.

A system for providing an interactive inspection map of an inspection surface inspected by an inspection robot includes an inspection circuit structured to interpret inspection data of the inspection surface from the inspection robot and a user interaction circuit structured to interpret a user focus value from a user device. The user focus value includes an activation state value. The system further includes an inspection visualization circuit structured to provide the interactive inspection map to the user device in response to the user focus value. The interactive inspection map is based on the inspection data. Also, the system includes an inspection data validation circuit that determines an inspection data validity description of the inspection data. The inspection data validity description is provided as a display layer on the interactive inspection map to indicate whether the inspection data is valid.
SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING INTERACTIVE INSPECTION MAP FOR INSPECTION ROBOT
An inspection robot, including, a multi-sensor sled carriage including a plurality of sleds arranged on the multi-sensor sled carriage, each one of the plurality of sleds including a sensor opening, an acoustic inspection sensor coupled to the corresponding sensor opening; where a width of the multi-sensor sled carriage and a radial position of the plurality of sleds are configured to accommodate an inspection surface including a pipe outer diameter; a plurality of acoustic inspection sensors coupled to the sensor opening of the plurality of sleds.
