Abstract: A connected vehicle train-vehicle collision detection system comprises a roadside unit (RSU) located at a railroad grade crossing near a roadway lane for avoiding TRAIN crashes with Onboard Unit (OBU)-equipped vehicles by issuing advance warnings for a potential vehicle-train crash. The roadside unit (RSU) is configured to act as a proxy Onboard Unit (OBU) for a non-OBU-equipped TRAIN and transmit a train location to a first Onboard Unit (OBU)-equipped vehicle having an Onboard Unit (OBU). The Onboard Unit (OBU) of the first OBU-equipped vehicle is configured to calculate a train-vehicle crash based on the train location of the TRAIN relative to the railroad grade crossing and a vehicle location of the first OBU-equipped vehicle relative to the railroad grade crossing.

Abstract: A connected vehicle traffic safety system comprises a traffic signal controller and a roadside unit (RSU) located at a one-way traffic lane for avoiding crashes with vehicles of wrong-way drivers by issuing warnings for wrong-way violations. The traffic signal controller is configured to operate a traffic signal. The traffic signal is facing a wrong-way traffic and is set to dwell permanently in a RED signal phase. The one-way traffic lane is configured as a signalized intersection with a wrong-way approach that is programmed as a traffic signal phase dwelling in RED. The roadside unit (RSU) is configured to transmit a Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) indication for the RED signal phase.

Abstract: An electronic device comprises a bay for receiving a storage container that stores removable objects. The bay has an interface therein. A mouse is adapted to reside in the bay when the storage container is removed and to connect to the interface.

Abstract: A computer device comprises a display member coupled to a base member by at least one friction clutch hinge. The computer device also comprises a biasing mechanism spaced apart from the at least one friction clutch hinge and adapted to bias the display member away from the base member.

Abstract: A computer device comprising a display member rotatably coupled to a base member to enable variable positioning of the display member relative to the base member about an axis. The computer device further comprises an anti-tip mechanism extending rearwardly from at least a portion of a bottom wall of the base member beyond the axis to resist movement of the base member away from a support surface.

Abstract: One embodiment is a system for mounting a component in a computer system comprising a bracket having a plurality of access ports that permit the component to be secured to the bracket, and having a plurality of mounting points that permit the bracket to be secured to the computer system; a cavity in the computer system formed to receive the bracket with the component and having a plurality of mounting posts, each of which corresponds with a respective mounting point of the plurality of the mounting points; and a cover that is formed to fit over the cavity and having a plurality of access points, each of which corresponds with a respective mounting point and a respective mounting post, wherein the plurality of access points permits each respective mounting point to be secured to the respective mounting post through the associated access point.

Abstract: An exemplary rechargeable mouse is adapted to be insertable into and removable from a bay of an electronic device. An electrical connection of the mouse electrically couples only to a power connection of an electrical interface in the device bay that also has a data connection such that the mouse is charged when inserted in the device bay.
