  • Patent number: 9911197
    Abstract: Described is a system for detecting moving objects using multi-frame motion history images. An input video sequence of consecutive registered image frames is received. The sequence of consecutive registered image frames comprises forward and backward registered image frames registered to a coordinate system of a reference image frame. Frame differences are computed between each of the consecutive registered image frames and the reference image frame. The frame differences are accumulated based on characteristics of the input video sequence to compute a corresponding motion response value. A selected threshold value is then applied to the motion response value to produce at least one binary image used for detection of moving objects in the input video sequence. Additionally, the invention includes a system for adaptive parameter optimization by input image characterization, wherein parameters that are based on characteristics of the image influence the motion detection process.

  • Patent number: 9911517
    Abstract: Disclosed is a carbon felt impregnated with inorganic particles. The impregnated carbon felt can be used together with sulfur in a cathode of a sodium-sulfur (Na—S) battery. Also disclosed is a method for producing the impregnated carbon felt. According to exemplary embodiments, the problem of the prior art can be solved in which inorganic particles such as alumina particles are not directly adhered to carbon felts, thus necessitating complicated processes. In addition, a slurry including an inorganic binder and alumina particles can be used to directly coat the alumina particles on the surface of a carbon felt, making the production procedure very simple.

  • Patent number: 9912117
    Abstract: A semiconductor laser device which comprises a laser diode chip (100) that emits laser light; a 45° reflective mirror (400) that changes laser light traveling horizontally to a package bottom into laser light traveling perpendicular to the package bottom. The 45° reflective mirror (400) is a partial reflective mirror which has a partial reflection/partial transmission characteristic. An optical feedback-partial reflective mirror (500) is disposed along a path of light passing vertically through the 45° reflective mirror (400). The optical feedback-partial reflective mirror (500) supplies some of the laser light traveling through the 45° reflective mirror (400) back to the 45° reflective mirror 400 by reflecting a first portion of the laser light while transmitting a remaining portion of the laser light.
