  • Publication number: 20190320478
    Abstract: A multi-member Bluetooth network includes: a main Bluetooth circuit capable of directly communicating with a remote Bluetooth device through a Bluetooth transmission approach; and an auxiliary Bluetooth circuit capable of indirectly communicating with the remote Bluetooth device through the main Bluetooth circuit. When the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit becomes more closer to the remote Bluetooth device than the main Bluetooth circuit, the main Bluetooth circuit instructs the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit to utilize the device identification data and multiple Bluetooth connection parameters of the main Bluetooth circuit to directly communicate with the remote Bluetooth device through a Bluetooth transmission approach by imitating the main Bluetooth circuit, and the main Bluetooth circuit then indirectly communicates with the remote Bluetooth device through the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit.

  • Publication number: 20190319747
    Abstract: A multi-member Bluetooth device includes: a main Bluetooth circuit capable of bidirectionally communicating with a remote Bluetooth device through a first Bluetooth communication circuit; and an auxiliary Bluetooth circuit capable of communicating with the main Bluetooth circuit through a data transmission circuit. While the main Bluetooth circuit utilizes the first Bluetooth communication circuit to communicate with the remote Bluetooth device, the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit utilizes a second Bluetooth communication circuit to sniff packets transmitted from the remote Bluetooth device. When detected that the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit has missed packets transmitted from the remote Bluetooth device, the main Bluetooth circuit transmits missing packets of the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit to the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit through the data transmission circuit.

  • Publication number: 20190162957
    Abstract: A multi-eyebox head-up display device and a multilayer combiner are disclosed. The device comprises a projector generates a projected image to a reflector. The reflector generates a reflected image to a multilayer combiner. The multilayer combiner includes at least two superimposed imaging plates, and the semi-reflective surfaces of the superimposed imaging plates are tilted to each other. While the reflected image is projected to the semi-reflective surface of the topmost superimposed imaging plate, the semi-reflective surface of the topmost superimposed imaging plate generates a virtual image. Simultaneously, the reflected image penetrates through the topmost superimposed imaging plate and reaches the lower superimposed imaging plate, and the semi-reflective surface of the lower superimposed imaging plate reflects the light to generate another virtual image. The present invention enables the driver to view the vehicular information at different viewing angles.

  • Publication number: 20190032536
    Abstract: An exhaust manifold comprises a plurality of exhaust intake conduits structured to be fluidly coupled to an engine and receive exhaust gas from a corresponding cylinder of the engine. At least one exhaust intake conduit provides a reduction in an exhaust intake conduit cross-sectional area from an inlet to an outlet. A plurality of bends are each defined by a respective one of the exhaust intake conduit outlets. An exhaust intake manifold is fluidly coupled to the exhaust intake manifold and defines an exhaust intake manifold flow axis. Each of the plurality of bends is shaped so as to define an angle of approach of exhaust gas flowing therethrough. A first angle of approach of the first bend relative to the exhaust intake manifold flow axis is smaller than a second angle of approach of an inner second bend.

  • Publication number: 20180351904
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described to enable adaptive handling of domain resolution requests originating from a virtual private cloud (VPC) networking environment. An administrator of the VPC can provide a set of rules specific to the VPC that designates how requests for a domain name should be handled. The rules may specify, for example, that a request for a given domain name should be routed to a particular domain name server, which may include a private domain name server, should be dropped, or should be routed according to a default behavior (e.g., a public domain name system). Resolution requests originating in the VPC can be associated with a VPC identifier. When an adaptive resolution system receives the request, it can retrieve rules associated with the VPC identifier, and apply the rules to determine further routing for the request.

    Abstract: A projector device is provided. The projector device includes a projector unit, an optical beam splitting module and a first image forming element. The projector unit forms a beam projecting image. The horizontal projection width of the beam projecting image is smaller than the vertical projection width of the beam projecting image. The optical beam splitting module projects one or multiple projection sub-images according to the beam projecting image. The projection sub-images are projected to the first image forming element to form one or multiple projection images. Thus, the projector device obtains multiple projection images from a single image source, and the placement of the image forming elements in the projector unit may be adjusted to obtain the projection images with the best image ratios and the best resolutions. The projector device may be suitable for a head up display.
