  • RAPID PCB PROTOTYPING BY SELECTIVE ADHESION
    Publication number: 20170374741
    Abstract: A PCB page blank includes a flexible substrate, a curable adhesive, a conductive layer, and a conductive layer support. The flexible substrate receives an opaque negative circuit pattern thereon. Portions of the curable adhesive not obscured by the circuit pattern may bond to portions of the conductive layer when exposed to light. The bonded portions of the conductive layer shear or tear from non-bonded portions of the conductive layer such that the bonded portions remain with the flexible substrate and the non-bonded portions remain with the conductive layer support when the flexible substrate and the conductive layer support are separated. The flexible substrate and the bonded portions of the conductive layer thus form a PCB prototype with the bonded portions of the conductive layer forming circuit traces of the circuit pattern.

  • Adjusting weight of intensity in a PHD filter based on sensor track ID
    Patent number: 9851437
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for tracking multiple objects with a probabilistic hypothesis density filter is provided. The method includes comparing second track IDs corresponding to newly obtained measurements to one or more first track IDs corresponding to a Tk+1 predicted intensity having a predicted weight. If all of the one or more first track IDs match any of the second track IDs, the predicted weight is multiplied by a first value. If less than all of the one or more first track IDs match any of the second track IDs, the predicted weight is multiplied by a second value, wherein the second value is greater than the first value. The method then determines whether to prune the Tk+1 predicted intensity based on the predicted weight after multiplying with either the first value or the second value.
