  • Publication number: 20220276164
    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and scanning systems for photonically detecting an object of high-interest having selective wavelength reflection. Various embodiments include sequentially scanning the environment by projecting a non-coherent pulsed electromagnetic beam of light of a first wavelength. Reflected light of the first non-coherent beam is received onto a photoelectric detector, which outputs digital intensity data. Various embodiments further include sequentially scanning the environment by projecting a non-coherent pulsed electromagnetic beam of light of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength. Reflected light of the second non-coherent beam is received onto a photoelectric detector, which outputs digital intensity data. The intensity of the reflected light of the first wavelength may be compared with the intensity reflected light of the second wavelength, and an alert may be sent to an autonomous vehicle system in response to the intensity difference exceeding a threshold.

  • Patent number: 10539312
    Abstract: An item of clothing in the form of a jacket provides enhanced visibility for a cyclist. A right detection device is configured to identify a raising of a right arm and a right indictor light (103) is configured to indicate in response to the raising of the right arm. Similarly, a left detection device is configured to identify the raising of a left arm and a left indicator light 104 is configured to indicate in response to the raising of the left arm. A housing contains a power supply and a control circuit and a pocket is provided in the jacket for supporting the housing. Wires extend from the housing to the detection devices and indicators and these wires are restrained within seams used to construct the jacket.

  • Patent number: 10161611
    Abstract: A control module (105) is supported within an item of clothing. The control module is located within a pocket (503). A visual indicator (1201) is pressed on the jacket at a position in front of the activation button on the control module. The activation button has a surface area that covers at least 40% of a surface area of the control module. In this way, it is possible for the control module to move within the pocket while still facilitating activation and deactivation upon pressing the visual indicator.

  • Patent number: 9423253
    Abstract: A MEMS gyroscope is provided. A substrate can be formed with a substantially planar surface, a substantially hemispherical cavity extending into the surface, an actuation electrode, and a plurality of sensing electrodes. A resonator formed from a substantially hemispherical shell can be suspended within the cavity by a stem coupling the center of the bottom of the cavity to the center of the bottom of the shell. An electronic processor can be configured to cause a voltage to be applied to the actuation electrode, receive signals from the sensing electrodes, and process the received signals to determine rotation of the MEMS gyroscope.
