  • Patent number: 10436580
    Abstract: A surface measurement system is configured to measure a sample with a low reflectivity surface. The surface measurement system includes a condensation device and a measurement device. The condensation device is configured to form a liquid layer on the surface of the sample. The condensation device includes a chamber, a temperature controlling gas source, and a humidification gas source. The chamber is configured to accommodate the sample. The temperature controlling gas source is connected to the chamber to provide temperature controlling gases to the chamber, so as to control the temperature of the sample. The humidification gas source is connected to the chamber to provide water vapor to the chamber, so as to form the liquid layer on the surface of the sample. The measurement device includes a plate, a light source, and an image capturing device.

  • Patent number: 8855903
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing incentives for the public to travel during time windows and routes that help alleviate traffic congestion. The systems described herein include at least two components: a computer server software system that includes various algorithms and database sub-systems; and a mobile device application. Generally, a user may enter an origin, destination, and preferred time of travel for an intended trip into the mobile device application, which transmits the information to a remote server. The server computes a route for the trip and provides the user with available incentives for traveling the route at one or more departure time windows. The user's mobile device transmits GPS data to the server, which allows the server to verify whether the user has traveled the route during the specified time window. If so, the server then provides the incentive to the user via the user's mobile device or through email.
