Abstract: Techniques for injecting a vehicle into a high speed transportation system are described. A travel request is received from a user. The user is determined to be authorized to travel using the high speed transportation system, based on a profile associated with the user. An injection portal for the user to enter the transportation system is identified. One or more instructions for the user are provided, relating to the injection portal. A vehicle associated with the user is identified at the injection portal. Characteristics of the vehicle are sensed at the injection portal, including a center of gravity of the vehicle. The characteristics are determined to satisfy threshold values, and the vehicle is authorized for travel in the transportation system. A vehicle profile is generated. The vehicle profile is transmitted to a second controller associated with the transportation system. The vehicle is injected into the transportation system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a new surface coating method, by which a clear-cut relief ornament can be formed on a surface, comprising: i) providing a template having a patterned surface, wherein the pattern on the surface is a three-dimensional pattern; ii) covering the patterned surface of the template with a coating slurry; iii) placing the template onto a working surface to be coated with the patterned surface facing the working surface; and iv) removing the template. Also disclosed are a template and a coating device used in the method and an ornamental plate manufacture with the method.

Abstract: A group of technologies related to RFID reader and tag are described, including: redundant networked multimedia RFID reader, auto-ranging RFID reader, auto-planning RFID reader, smart active antenna RFID reader and novel RFID tags. These enabling technologies bring RFID reader operations into a new level of automation, capability and ease of implementation.

Abstract: A video apparatus and method are described for controlling video frame error recovery in a streaming video session. Frame error recovery is activated and deactivated by a frame error recovery automaton. Frame error recovery is activated by a first frame error in the video data stream. The automaton monitors the video session, maintaining recovery if a further error is detected. The automaton monitors the data stream for a predetermined frame error probation period.
