  • Publication number: 20180374342
    Abstract: A vision traffic marker network system includes a management system and a plurality of self-powered wireless traffic nodes configured to collect data from a wireless mesh network. Each wireless traffic node is configured to function as a mesh network traffic node and in each mesh network traffic node, the mesh network traffic node is configured to exchange data between the traffic nodes. Each wireless traffic node in the vision traffic marker system is communicatively coupled to any server and client machine. The management system includes a data acquisition layer, a processing layer, a communication layer, and a management layer. The acquisition layer is configured to receive data from the plurality of wireless traffic nodes and transmit the acquired data to the processing layer so that the acquired data is processed and filtered before the data is broadcasted and distributed the plurality of wireless traffic nodes which in turn exchange or share the data with any server and client machine.

  • Publication number: 20180357895
    Abstract: A vision traffic marker network system comprises a plurality of vision traffic markers or traffic nodes configured to capture information such as an event, an environment, a profile, or a condition of an object such as vehicle, human, combination thereof, or the like, for example. The environment information may be time of day, day of week, weather, traffic condition, and the like. The nodes may be one of a traffic node, an ambient node, a repeater, a gateway, or a combination thereof. These nodes are arranged in network neighborhoods and configured to communicate with at least one of the communication networks with at least one of the vision traffic markers or nodes, a control system, the automotive, a server, a global navigation system, other non-vision devices, traffic lights, street lights, electronic devices, or combination thereof, via one more links, either wirelessly or wired communication.

  • Patent number: 10088462
    Abstract: This document describes a gas sampling device. The gas sampling device is capable of housing sensors printed on thin film (e.g., paper) and is operable to expose the sensors printed on the thin film to air for a brief period of time to sample the air for smells. The exposure causes a chemical reaction between the sensors and the sampled air and differs depending on the smells of the sampled air. After exposure, an image of the reacted sensor is captured. The image is analyzed according to image processing techniques to recognize the smells of the sampled air. The gas sampling device is also capable of concurrently sampling air from a surrounding environment along with sampling air from a specimen of interest. By analyzing both samples, the smells of the specimen of interest can be distinguished from those of the surrounding environment. Once the smells are ascertained, a profile of chemical groups in gases of the sampled air is output.
