  • Patent number: 12100301
    Abstract: A system for sharing sensor data between a vehicle and a plurality of remote system generally includes a vehicle communication system, a three-dimensional (3D) sensor, and a controller. The controller is programmed to generate an initial 3D point cloud using the 3D sensor, generate an occupancy grid map based on the initial 3D point cloud, and select a producer remote system to provide data for a cell of the occupancy grid map classified as a first blindspot. The controller is further programmed to send a data request to the producer remote system using the vehicle communication system, receive data from the producer remote system including information about the cell of the occupancy grid map classified as the first blindspot, generate a merged 3D point cloud by merging the data received from the producer remote system with the initial 3D point cloud, and identify objects using the merged 3D point cloud.

  • Publication number: 20180331245
    Abstract: Provided are a dual-junction thin film solar cell module, and preparation method thereof. The cell module is formed by multiple cell units connected in series, and each cell unit comprises a selectively grown substrate (105), a bottom cell (106), and a top cell (126). A front metal electrode layer (200) is provided on the top cell (126), and the selectively grown substrate (105) comprises a metal base (100), a patterned insulation layer (102), and an N-type microcrystalline germanium seed layer (104), the insulation layer (102) is formed on the metal base (100), and the N-type microcrystalline germanium seed layer (104) is in the pattern formed by the insulation layer (102). The bottom cell (106) is a polycrystalline germanium bottom cell layer, and the top cell (126) is a GaAs cell.
