  • Publication number: 20240167962
    Abstract: Various embodiments are provided herein for a system and method for automatic monitoring of pavement condition. In at least some embodiments provided herein, there is provided a method for assessing a condition of a pavement segment, the method comprising: analyzing, using a trained machine learning model, an image of the pavement segment; generating, by the machine learning model, an output comprising one or more identified first pavement distresses in the pavement segment; analyzing accelerometer data associated with the pavement segment; based on the analyzing, determining one or more identified second pavement distresses in the pavement segment; and based on the one or more identified first and second pavement defects, determining pavement condition data associated with the pavement segment.

  • Patent number: 11911128
    Abstract: A mote includes an optical receiver that wirelessly receives a power and data signal in form of NIR light energy within a patient and converts the NIR light energy to an electrical signal having a supply voltage. A control module supplies the supply voltage to power devices of the mote. A clock generation circuit locks onto a target clock frequency based on the power and data signal and generates clock signals. A data recovery circuit sets parameters of one of the devices based on the power and data signal and a first clock signal. An amplifier amplifies a neuron signal detected via an electrode inserted in tissue of the patient. A chip identifier module, based on a second clock signal, generates a recorded data signal based on a mote chip identifier and the neuron signal. A driver transmits the recorded data signal via a LED or a RF transmitter.

  • Patent number: 9787476
    Abstract: A method for verifying an image by a first electronic device, the method comprising the first electronic device: sending a request for an image to a second electronic device, wherein the second electronic device is remote from the first electronic device and, optionally, a server; receiving an image and a certificate from the second electronic device, wherein the certificate comprises a protected checksum of at least the image; generating a checksum in dependence on at least the received image; performing a comparison in dependence on said generated checksum and the protected checksum received in the certificate; and verifying the received image in dependence upon the comparison. Advantageously, the first electronic device is able to verify each received image and to prevent the display of any received images that are not authenticated. Applications include the display of card images.

  • Publication number: 20030065442
    Abstract: A system provides personalized traffic information and route planning capabilities to users of the system using existing wireless personal telephone and communication systems that allow for the geo-location of users in the network. This system uses standard geo-location methods and telecommunication equipment to triangulate the position of a user and transfer data between them and the central system. This user information is collected and used to compute real-time system wide model of the street segments in the traffic network. This model can then be used to create individual routing information for any user of the system. This computed travel time information is used to determine the most efficient route for a user and can be transmitted to the user. As a user travels, their location is constantly obtained and their travel route information is updated and relayed to them.
