Abstract: A light-emitting diode lighting structure for improving back-illumination efficiency is revealed. The light-emitting diode lighting structure is disposed on a substrate and composed of a light emitting diode (LED) and a reflective panel. The LED provided with a packaging lens has a light emitting side and a backside. The reflective panel is arranged at the light emitting side of the LED and located adjacent to the packaging lens. A part of light emitted from the light emitting side is reflected to the substrate by the reflective panel. Thereby the illumination on the substrate at the backside can be increased. Moreover, continuous lighting is generated so that messages shown on signboards can be read more clearly and comfortably when a plurality of LEDs is disposed on and applied to the signboards.

Abstract: A method and a management server for automatically deducing a trailer is physically coupled with a vehicle are described. First location data including locations for the vehicle is received, from a first gateway device located on the vehicle. Second location data are received from second gateway devices, where each one of the second gateway devices is on a respective trailer from a set of trailers and each second location data includes locations for the respective trailer. For each trailer that meet a set of criteria, a score is calculated based at least in part on the first location data and the second location data of the trailer, where the score estimates a measure of association of the trailer with the vehicle. A first trailer is selected, based on the scores of the trailers, to be associated with the vehicle indicating that the first trailer is physically coupled with the vehicle.
