Abstract: A smart tolling system employs computer vision and machine learning techniques to automatically track and monitor vehicles across multiple video streams captured by a networked camera assembly. The system derives comprehensive vehicle trajectories by stitching together detections of each vehicle from the various video feeds using multi-object tracking algorithms. These trajectories enable correlating different events triggered by the vehicles at multiple roadside devices like cameras and radars. By mapping the trajectories in space and time, the system can associate seemingly fragmented events and synthesize complete vehicle profiles even when certain events may have missed capturing some vehicle information due to obstructions or other factors. This trajectory-based event correlation enhances tolling accuracy by minimizing revenue leakage from missed or incomplete vehicle data in congested traffic conditions.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for frame burst overlapping basic service set (OBSS) handling. In various embodiments, the disclosed methods and systems provide for synchronizing access points (APs) in the same channel. Based on the synchronizing, the APs in the same OBSS channel can determine a distribution policy for using frame bursting. Each AP can use frame bursting in accordance with the distribution policy. In various embodiments, the APs can periodically send frame burst synchronization packets. The frame burst synchronization packets can indicate respective numbers of client devices associated with each AP. Based on the frame burst synchronization packets sent by the APs, a total number of client devices using the same channel can be determined. The distribution policy for using frame bursting can be determined based on the total number of client devices.

Abstract: An electric motor system is described. The electric motor system includes a drive circuit configured to supply variable frequency current and a contactor configured to supply line frequency current, wherein the drive circuit includes a three-phase inverter and an H-bridge including two phases of the inverter. The electric motor system also includes an electric motor and a controller. The controller is configured to control the inverter to supply variable frequency current to the electric motor over a first duration and determine to control the drive circuit to transition from supplying variable frequency current to supplying line frequency current. The controller is also configured to determine a polarity of a sensed alternating current (AC) voltage, disable at least two switches of the H-bridge, and control the contactor to close, thereby preventing the contactor and the inverter from energizing the electric motor at the same time once the contactor is closed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for utilizing a content access authorization system to determine user access control efficiently and flexibly for digital documents that are stored in different geographic regions. For instance, the content access authorization system can convert sensitive user information for digital documents stored in a first geographic region into a probabilistic data structure that does not include user information and share the probabilistic data structure with a second geographic region. The content access authorization system can then utilize the probabilistic data structure to efficiently pre-filter user document access control for digital documents requested by a user in the second geographic region that are stored in the first geographic region, which significantly saves on latency and computing resource usage by reducing the number of document control access queries needed to be made to the first geographic region.

Abstract: Reversible phase-change materials (PCMs) can be added to or incorporated into meta-lenses, wave plates, waveguides, gratings, and other optical components to form active optical devices with controllable and adjustable optical characteristics. Local heating can be used to induce solid-state phase changes and large refractive index changes in the PCMs. The phase and index changes can provide large changes in the device's optical characteristics. Optical devices with PCM can be used for imaging applications, orbital angular momentum control, photonic integrated circuits and optical communication systems, beam steering, and other application.
