Abstract: In a vehicle-to-vehicle communication system, an intersection-located road side unit (RSU) having two omni-antennas applies spatial filtering to the antennas' RX signals to recover first and second overlapping basic safety messages (BSMs) concurrently transmitted by two intersection-approaching vehicles that have no direct line of sight (NLOS) between them. The RSU retransmits each BSM for receipt by the other vehicle using either an omnidirectional retransmission technique in which the two messages are sequentially transmitted using an omnidirectional beam-pattern, a directional retransmission technique in which the two messages are sequentially transmitted using directional beam-patterns, or an XOR retransmission technique in which the RSU applies an XOR operation to the two BSMs and transmits the resulting XOR message using an omnidirectional beam-pattern. A receiving vehicle can apply an XOR operation to the XOR message and a local copy of the first BSM message to recover the second BSM message.

Abstract: A reconfigurable bipolar output charge pump circuit includes an input terminal configured to receive an input voltage. First and second terminals are connected to a first flying capacitor, and third and fourth terminals are connected to a second flying capacitor. First and second output terminals are respectively connected to first and second output capacitors and configured to respectively provide a positive output voltage and a negative output voltage.

Abstract: Barriers for improved vapor mitigation are contemplated, such barriers being formed as a cured latex-asphalt mixture applied to the metal surface of a metallized substrate. The latex-asphalt mixture, prior to curing, comprises an emulsion of an asphalt component, a latex component, and water. Such barriers may be seen to substantially mitigate diffusion of chemical contaminants across the barriers in the form of gas or liquids. Also contemplated are methods for forming such barriers, whether fabricated off-site for installation on site, fabricated in-situ.

Abstract: Compositions for forming an improved vapor mitigation barrier are contemplated, such compositions being formed as an aqueous mixture of an asphalt component and a latex component, with the latex component including a chemically resistant latex, the chemically resistant latex being an acrylonitrile butadiene copolymer, an elastomeric fluoropolymer, or both. Such compositions, when cured and formed into a vapor mitigation barrier, may be seen to substantially mitigate diffusion of chlorinated hydrocarbons across the barriers. Also contemplated are methods for forming such vapor mitigation barriers, as well as vapor mitigation barrier products formed via the application of such compositions to various substrates.

Abstract: A key ring for holding keys is described comprising of overlying loops formed from spring wire which both ends biased against the loops to prevent accidental loss of keys. A special portion is formed near the end of one loop to offset its edge from the underlying loop. This special portion allows for easy grasping and separation of the loops for adding or removing key to the key ring.

Abstract: A position detection apparatus includes: an imaging portion that captures an image of a detection area for detecting indication positions of indicators; and an indicator detecting portion that detects the indication positions of the indicators based on operation image data captured by the imaging portion when indication operations by the indicators are performed in the detection area and background image data captured by the imaging portion when the indication operations by the indicators are not performed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus of obtaining single and video, high-resolution, panoramic images of a large field-of-view scene with a single viewpoint. The system consists of a segmented cap lens, multiple imaging sensors and imaging lenses. The cap lens is segmented to capture an individual sub-field of the entire panorama. In addition, the cap lens is optimized to relay the optical centers of the component cameras into a single viewpoint therefore reducing parallax errors. A high-resolution panoramic image with reduced artifacts is reconstructed by mosaicking multiple images taken by component cameras. The entire system is based upon refractive lenses to minimize the path length of light rays, enabling a relatively compact design for practical applications.
