Abstract: In various examples, sensor data representative of an image of a field of view of a vehicle sensor may be received and the sensor data may be applied to a machine learning model. The machine learning model may compute a segmentation mask representative of portions of the image corresponding to lane markings of the driving surface of the vehicle. Analysis of the segmentation mask may be performed to determine lane marking types, and lane boundaries may be generated by performing curve fitting on the lane markings corresponding to each of the lane marking types. The data representative of the lane boundaries may then be sent to a component of the vehicle for use in navigating the vehicle through the driving surface.

Abstract: Disclosed is a circuit breaker monitoring a power line. The circuit breaker is provided with a power line monitoring circuit including a leakage current detecting circuit and a state judging circuit to monitor the on-off state of the shielding wire of the power line. When there is a leakage current between the phase and neutral wire of the power line and the shielding network wire is disconnected, the circuit breaker can automatically cut off the connection between the electrical appliance and the power supply to avoid the electric shock and fire accidents.

Abstract: Methods for compensating for brightness variations in a field emission device. In one embodiment, a method and system are described for measuring the relative brightness of rows of a field emission display (FED) device, storing information representing the measured brightness into a correction table and using the correction table to provide uniform row brightness in the display by adjusting row voltages and/or row on-time periods. A special measurement process is described for providing accurate current measurements on the rows. This embodiment compensates for brightness variations of the rows, e.g., for rows near the spacer walls. In another embodiment, a periodic signal, e.g., a high frequency noise signal, is added to the row on-time pulse in order to camouflage brightness variations in the rows near the spacer walls. In another embodiment, the area under the row on-time pulse is adjusted to provide row-by-row brightness compensation based on correction values stored in a memory resident correction table.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display backlight comprises: at least one blue light emitting diode (LED) operable to contribute blue light to white light generated by the backlight; a phosphor material which absorbs a portion of the blue light and emits green light which contributes green light to the white light generated by the backlight; and at least one red LED operable to contribute red light to the white light generated by the backlight. In one arrangement the red LED is replaced with a second phosphor material which absorbs a portion of the blue light and emits red light which contributes to the white light generated by the backlight. Many packaging configurations are possible.

Abstract: A light-emitting device contains getter material (58) typically distributed in a relatively uniform manner across the device's active light-emitting portion. An electron-emitting device similarly contains getter material (112, 110/112, 128, 132, and 142) typically distributed relatively uniformly across the active electron-emitting portion of the device.

Abstract: The present invention discloses novel top emitter pixel circuitry for flat panel displays. Sensor material is deposited above a substrate. A pixilated opaque cathode is deposited above the sensor material. Organic light emitting diode material is deposited above the cathode. A transparent anode is deposited above the OLED material. Some of the layers have dielectric layers between them. The light emitted by the OLED material passes upwards through the transparent anode but cannot pass downwards through the opaque cathode. A deep via optically connects the OLED material layer with the sensor material layer. A transparent cathode can be used instead of the opaque cathode, thereby allowing the light generated by the OLED material layer to pass both upward through the transparent anode and downward through the transparent cathode. That would eliminate the need for a deep via to form an optical path between the OLED material layer and the sensor layer.

Abstract: A vehicular module (20) secures a plurality of components to a motor vehicle (10) having a frame (29). The vehicular module (20) includes a tray (22) and a support member (24) that is fixedly secured to the tray (22). The tray (22includes a plurality of receiving apertures for mounting a plurality of components thereto. The support member (24) engages the frame (29) of the motor vehicle (10) to support the tray (22) and provide structural integrity to the vehicle frame (29). The module (20) may be pre-assembled prior to installation to the vehicle frame (29).

Abstract: Group III-V, II-VI and related monocrystalline compounds are grown with a rigid support of a sealed ampoule, carbon doping and resistivity control, and thermal gradient control in a crystal growth furnace. A support cylinder provides structural support for the combined sealed ampoule crucible assembly, while low-density insulating material inside the support cylinder deters convection and conduction heating. Radiation channels penetrating the low-density material provide pathways for radiation heating into and out of the seed well and transition regions of the crystal growth crucible. A hollow core in the insulation material directly beneath the seed well provides cooling in the center of the growing crystal, which enables uniform, level growth of the crystal ingot and a flat crystal-melt interface which results in crystal wafers with uniform electrical properties.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for growth of Group III-V monocrystalline semiconductor compounds in a closed system with a balanced pressure maintained between the inside of a sealed ampoule and a pressure vessel. The vapor pressure inside the sealed ampoule can be controlled by temperature, the amount of polycrystalline charge and an amount of material such as phosphorus inside the sealed ampoule. Filling and release of an inert gas is used to control the pressure in the pressure vessel.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing large diameter monocrystalline Group III-V, II-VI compounds that have reduced crystal defect density, improved crystal growth yield, and improved bulk material characteristics. The apparatus comprises a crucible or boat, an ampoule that contains the crucible or boat, a heating unit disposed about the ampoule, and a liner disposed between the heating unit and the ampoule. The liner is preferably composed of a quartz material. When the liner and the ampoule are made of the same material, such as quartz, the thermal expansion coefficients of the liner and ampoule are the same, which significantly increases the lifetime of the liner and the single-crystal yield.
