Abstract: An unmanned vehicle is disposed in a predetermined area, and is provided with a lidar unit that emits light beams to acquire light sensing data pieces, each containing distance information and a light intensity value. The unmanned vehicle acquires a detection value representing a number of those of the light sensing data pieces whose light intensity values are greater than a light intensity threshold. When the detection value is zero, a first pose of the unmanned vehicle is calculated based on a moving speed and a moving direction of the unmanned vehicle. When the detection value is not zero, a second pose of the unmanned vehicle is calculated based on the moving speed, the moving direction and positions of multiple reflective marks disposed in the predetermined area, as recorded in an area map of the predetermined area.

Abstract: An assisting force control device for use in a bicycle with an electric motor and a crankshaft includes a driving member coupled co-rotatably to the crankshaft, a strain sensor disposed on the driving member, a torque calculation unit coupled to the strain sensor for calculating and outputting a torque signal, a rotational speed detection unit mounted on the crankshaft for outputting a rotational speed detecting signal, and a control unit. The control unit includes a receiving module for receiving the rotational speed detecting signal and the torque signal, and a processing module coupled to the receiving module for generating a force control signal to control the electric motor accordingly.

Abstract: Provided is a computer system and a computerized method to automatically generate the synthetic images that simulate the human activities in a particular environment. The program instructions are input in the form of the natural language. Particular columns are provided in the user interface to allow the user to select desired instruction elements from sets of limited candidates. The instruction elements form the program instructions. The system analyzes the program instructions to obtain the standard predetermined time evaluation codes of the instructions. Parameters not include in the input program instructions are generated automatically. Synthetic images are generated by using the input program instructions and the parameters obtained.

Abstract: Disclosed is an intake swirl enhancing structure for internal combustion engine mainly including a guide shaft and several guide interfaces radially extending from the guide shaft to split a space into several intake passages. Each of the guide interfaces has a curved outer corner near an outlet end of the intake passages to swirl gas flowing through and out each intake passage, so that the gas enters a cylinder of the engine and forms a turbulent swirl in the cylinder. The intake swirl enhancing structure may be directly set in an intake manifold or an intake port for use without the need of modifying the existing engine design. Enhanced swirls produced by the intake swirl enhancing structure result in faster and steadier burning of mixture in the engine. When the structure is employed in the lean mixture burning, reduced fuel consumption and minimized environmental pollution can be achieved.
