  • Patent number: 12219445
    Abstract: This technology provides designs and methods for the vehicle on-board unit (OBU), which facilitates vehicle operations and control for connected automated vehicle highway (CAVH) systems. OBU systems provide vehicles with individually customized information and real-time control instructions for vehicle to fulfill the driving tasks such as car following, lane changing, route guidance. OBU systems also realize transportation operations and management services for both freeways and urban arterials. The OBU composed of the following devices: 1) a vehicle motion state parameter and environment parameter collection unit; 2) a multi-mode communication unit; 3) a location unit; 4) an intelligent gateway unit, and 5) a vehicle motion control unit. The OBU systems realize one or more of the following function categories: sensing, transportation behavior prediction and management, planning and decision making, and vehicle control.

  • Publication number: 20250034290
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a functional cyclic olefin polymer obtained from hydrogenation of a cyclic olefin polymer, wherein the cyclic olefin polymer comprises at least a monomeric unit A? derived from a monomer A having a norbornene ring and a polar functional group, wherein the amount of the monomeric unit A? is in the range of from 20% to 100% by mole, 50% to 100% by mole, from 60% to 100% by mole, or from 70% to 100% by mole, based on the total amount of the monomeric units of the cyclic olefin polymer. The present invention further relates to a process for producing the functional cyclic olefin polymer, a composition comprising the functional cyclic olefin polymer, and the use of the functional cyclic olefin polymer. The functional cyclic olefin polymer of the present invention exhibits improved properties, especially in terms of mechanical properties and barrier properties.

  • Patent number: 8630455
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention allow for real-time people monitoring method and system for estimation of the size and flow density of a given group of people located in a given area of space. The method and system may be used to monitor live or recorded camera input, foreground segmentation, human tracking, height estimation, and dwell estimation. In particular, human detection may be achieved using a spatio-temporal variance analysis calculation methodology for moving target detection.

  • Patent number: 8179440
    Abstract: Method and system for objects surveillance and real-time activity recognition is based on analysis of spatio-temporal images of individuals under surveillance where a spatio-temporal volume occupied by each individual is decomposed by crossing the same at specific heights to form 2-dimensional slices, each containing representation of trajectory of the motion of corresponding portions of the individual body. The symmetry of the trajectories (Gait DNA) is analyzed and classified to generate data indicative of a type of activity of the individual based on the symmetry or asymmetry of the Gait DNA in each 2-dimensional slice. An effective occlusion handling ability is implemented which permits to restore the occluded silhouette of an individual.
