Abstract: A traffic safety sign assembly for guiding traffic around a vehicle parked on a shoulder of a roadway includes a sign that is positionable on a vehicle that is parked on a shoulder of a roadway. In this way the sign is visible to oncoming traffic on the roadway. Arrow indicia are printed on the sign to direct oncoming traffic away from the vehicle. A plurality of sign light emitters is each integrated into the sign to emit light outwardly from the sign. In this way the sign light emitters enhance visibility of the sign for the oncoming traffic. The plurality of sign light emitters is strategically arranged on the sign to indicate a preferred direction of travel. In this way the sign light emitters visually communicate the preferred direction of travel to the oncoming traffic.

Abstract: A control system controls a gesture recognition system of a vehicle. The control system identifies a position of a body part with respect to a gesture recognition area in accordance with a detection signal of a sensor system. The control system specifies a haptic feedback signal based on the position of the body part with respect to the gesture recognition area. The control system outputs the haptic feedback signal to a haptic feedback system. The haptic feedback signal is configured to cause the haptic feedback system to output non-contact haptic feedback indicating the position of the body part with respect to the gesture recognition area toward a vehicle occupant.

Abstract: A bed device includes: an operation section that receives an operation input; a controller that controls a movement of the bed in accordance with the operation input; a detector that detects a position of a patient on the bed; and, a limitation table that stores a limitation area set on the bed in association with a limitation content, wherein when the position of the patient detected by the detector is included in the limitation area, the limitation content is read out from the limitation table so as to control the controller in accordance with the limitation content. With this configuration, it is possible to provide a higher safety bed device which can not only notify the danger based on the bed movement but also limit the movement of the bed in accordance with the status of the patient or the bed device.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for traffic violation detection. The system may determine a target object which should be given precedence with respect to a vehicle from one or more moving objects by performing an angle correction on the one or more moving objects, wherein the one or more moving objects are objects moving in a predetermined region. When it is determined that a moving direction of the target object is a moving direction towards middle of a road and a target vehicle passing through the predetermined region is not courteous to the target object, the system may mark a state of the target vehicle as a violation state.

Abstract: RFID tags may compensate for non-RFID power sources by automatically enforcing data or state persistence even while powered. A tag may measure a time interval between successive detected modulated reader transmissions. If the interval exceeds a minimum time, then the tag may deassert a protocol flag, erase data, and/or change tag operating states, even if the tag would normally not perform these actions while powered.
