Abstract: A system and method for transferring data between an object detection system and a collision processing circuit is provided. The object detection system includes sensors configured to provide coverage of and detect movement within a predetermined area. The object detection system further includes a path predicting circuit and a plotting circuit operable to predict and plot the location of detected objects. The system further includes a map definition of the predetermined area, a grid system plotted onto the predetermined area, and environmental information relating to the predetermined area, and a series of overlays. Each overlay is plotted with the grid system and the predicted location of the detected objects. The object detection system transmits the map definition and series of overlays to the collision processing circuit so as to determine a probability of a collision.

Abstract: A system and method provides a way to sever the data connection between a USB port and a client device, while still allowing the client device to charge. Typical connections between a client device and a USB port involve a USB cable. However, the device described herein is used in series with the client device and USB port. The device automatically detects the allowed charging current from the USB port and presents that information to the client device. During this exchange, no data transfer is allowed between the client device and USB port in either direction. Once the client device is provided, and charging information presented by the device, the client device begins to charge.

Abstract: A system is for wireless non-radiative energy transfer. A transmitter comprises an inductively coupled power source that is configured to provide a magnetic energy field. One or more receivers are configured to be placed within the magnetic energy field. A decoupling and rectifying stage is configured to supply power to a device.

Abstract: A system for detecting a pedestrian is provided. The system includes a base and a mast extending from the base, and a plurality of sensors mounted on the mast, the plurality of sensors for detecting objects and pedestrians within a predetermined range, and wherein the sensors include a GPS antenna, at least one camera, an alert mechanism, a radio with an integrated directional antenna, and a short range communication antenna. A path predicting circuit is in communication with a system vehicle and the pedestrian detection system. The path predicting circuit processes information from the system vehicle and pedestrian detection system to predict the path of the system vehicle and detected objects. The path predicting circuit is in communication with a path collision circuit and the predicted paths are mapped on the path collision circuit so as to determine if the system vehicle may possibly collide with a detected object.
