Abstract: A vehicle lamp assembly, a vehicle lamp and a corresponding motor vehicle. The vehicle lamp assembly including a support, for supporting a light emitting body. The vehicle lamp assembly further includes a housing provided to overlap with at least a part of the support and a first gap formed between the overlapping portions of the housing and the support. The vehicle lamp assembly additionally includes a first light blocking layer, with the first light blocking layer being provided between the overlapping portions of the housing and the support, and at least partially filling the first gap, so as to prevent light from the light emitting body from emitting outwards through the first gap.

Abstract: A blimp includes a circular disk-shaped envelope filled with a lighter-than-air gas. A gondola is affixed to an underside of the envelope and is disposed at a region directly below a center point of the circle defined by the intersection of the envelope and the horizontal plane. The gondola includes: a horizontally-disposed elongated circuit board that functions as a structural member of the gondola; and a vertical member extending upwardly from the circuit board and having a top that is attached to the underside of the envelope. A thrusting mechanism is affixed to the gondola and is configured to generate thrust. An electronics suite is disposed on and electrically coupled to the circuit board and includes a blimp processor configured to generate control signals that control the thrusting mechanism. A battery is affixed to the gondola and provides power to the electronics suit and the thrusting mechanism.

Abstract: A robotic system includes a robot, a motion capture system and a ground station. The robot includes motors, a transceiver, an actuation circuit that receives an actuation command data packet from the transceiver and controls actuation of the motors. The motion capture system tracks a position and attitude of the robot and generates position and attitude data. The ground station is in wireless data communication with the transceiver and is in data communication with the motion capture system. The ground station receives the position and attitude data from the motion capture system; calculates a desired actuation for the robot; generates actuation command data packets for effecting the desired actuation. The actuation command data packets are transmitted wirelessly to the robot transceiver. The robot actuates the plurality motors upon receiving the actuation command data packet.

Abstract: An exemplary motion capture system, device, and method are disclosed herein to facilitate the implementation of active marker technology onto objects and systems whose design considerations require low weight, low power usage, and/or modular implementation. The exemplary motion capture system, device, and method connect light sources with power driving components through modular, flexible strips and optimized driver circuit configuration and structure for minute unmanned or remote vehicles or wearables having very stringent design constraints.
