Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for motion capture. The method includes obtaining a first video with at least one actor, the first video including a first set of movements of the at least one actor. The method also includes obtaining a second video with the at least one actor, the second video including a second set of movements of the at least one actor, the second set of movements correlating with the first set of movements. The method also includes combining the first video with the second video to obtain a combined video, the combined video including the first set of movements and the second set of movements, the first set of movements displayed as outlines.

Abstract: A method of operating a vehicle to maintain the vehicle along a desired course. The vehicle has a first steering system for turning left and right wheels at a first end of the vehicle, a second steering system for turning left and right wheels at a second end of the vehicle, brakes for slowing rotation of the wheels, and a steering lock mechanism. The method includes determining that the first steering system is malfunctioning. The steering lock mechanism is operated to lock out turning of the left and right wheels at the first end of the vehicle. The brakes are operated to maintain the vehicle along the desired course. The second steering system is operated to maintain the vehicle along the desired course.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing information to a vehicle via an unmanned air vehicle. The unmanned air vehicle includes a detector assembly that converts electromagnetic radiation into an electronic signal and signal processing logic that extracts information representing traffic conditions from the electronic signal.

Abstract: An electric power steering system is provided. It comprises a steering assist assembly and a motor assembly that actuates the steering assist assembly. A control module that provides steering assist commands to the motor assembly, the control module including a circuit board having a first portion having circuits thereon and a second portion that includes at least one sensor circuit that receives signals from at least one sensor subsystem. A potting material coats only the first portion of the circuit board.

Abstract: A vehicular communications network is disclosed. The network comprises a communications channel for propagating a signal therealong; a nodal communications system; and a signal coupling system coupled to the communications channel and to the nodal communications system for coupling a signal between the communications channel and the nodal communications system.

Abstract: A self testing CMOS imager chip includes a controller which outputs a sewer signal, a dump signal, a collect signal, and a read signal, and a pixel array connected to the controller including a plurality of pixels arranged in an array of rows and columns, each pixel having a collect gate disposed adjacent a collect well for receiving a charge in response to application of the collect signal to the collect gate, a sewer for injecting a charge into the collect well in response to the concurrent application of the sewer signal to the sewer and the collect signal to the collect well, a read gate disposed adjacent a read well for receiving the injected charge from the collect well in response to application of the read signal to the read gate and the absence of the collect signal at the collect gate, and a transistor having a gate coupled to the read well, a source for receiving the read signal, and a drain coupled to an output node connected to the controller.

Abstract: A model-based Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) system and method based on a hierarchical structure for monitoring overall vehicle system performance and diagnosing faults is disclosed. The FDI scheme uses the available sensors in a vehicle system and divides them into subsystems of smaller dimensions containing one or more modules that are related or interconnected. The same module may appear in a different subsystem, but the set of all subsystems does not have to contain all of the modules. For this structure, an FDI scheme comprising several detector units is created. Each detector unit receives information from the sensors and outputs a residual that is sent to a residual evaluation unit which processes the data and performs the residual evaluation for the selected subsystem. Finally, each subsystem outputs a decision that is sent to a supervisor unit performing the final diagnosis.

For this structure, an FDI scheme comprising several detector units is created. Each detector unit receives information from the sensors and outputs a residual that is sent to a high-level detector unit which processes the data and performs the residual evaluation for the selected subsystem. Finally, each subsystem outputs a decision that is sent to a supervisor hazard detector performing the final diagnosis.
