  • Publication number: 20170158128
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an alarm method for reversing a vehicle, in particular for a land vehicle, by sensing obstacles using structured light. When a vehicle reverses, the structured-light projecting module installed on the rear side of the vehicle projects structured light continuously, A plurality of light pattern messages are reflected to the structured-light camera unit. Then the height of and the distance to the obstacle are calculated. According to the height of the obstacle, whether the obstacle may influence the vehicle will be judged. If so, sounds will be emitted for reminding the driver according to the distance to the obstacle and the alarm distance information. Thereby, the reversing safety can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20160335688
    Abstract: The described implementations enable a seller to seller items through multiple e-commerce channels without having to maintain independent merchant accounts at each channel. For example, a seller may sell items directly and through a management service. When a user request to purchase an item from the seller through the management service is received, the management service sends the purchase information to the seller so that the seller can complete the purchase as if the purchase were being made directly with the seller. Upon completion of the purchase, the seller provides a confirmation back to the management service and provides the item directly to the user.

  • Patent number: 9454942
    Abstract: A display panel includes gate lines and a gate driver. The gate driver includes series coupled driving stages, in which an N-th driving stage of the series-coupled driving stages includes a driving unit and an input control unit. The driving unit transmits a first clock signal according to a control voltage level of a control node, so as to output a gate-driving signal. The input control unit transmits the gate-driving signal outputted from an (N?1)-th driving stage to the control nodes, so as to adjust the control voltage level to one of a first voltage level and a second voltage level. A predetermined time interval is present between a rising edge of the first clock signal and a falling edge of the second clock signal. During the predetermined time interval, the control voltage level is pulled to the first voltage level by the input control unit.
