  • Publication number: 20180040248
    Abstract: A vehicle safety system that provides a clear view of blind spots, approaching motor vehicles in oncoming and peripheral lanes when attempting to pass on a two-lane highway consists of a pair of side mirror-mounted cameras, a split viewing screen/monitor, a plurality of controls, and a microcontroller. The visual data received from the pair of side mirror-mounted cameras is displayed on the split viewing screen/monitor. Thus, the user can view oncoming motor vehicles. Preferably, the split viewing screen/monitor is mounted adjacent to a rear-view mirror of a motor vehicle. The plurality of controls allows the user to control the content displayed on the split viewing screen/monitor. When front-facing cameras and rear-facing cameras are available, the user is provided with information regarding obstacles surrounding the motor vehicle. The pair of front-facing cameras and the pair of rear-facing cameras are especially beneficial when backing out of parking spaces and driving through intersections.

  • Publication number: 20180040250
    Abstract: Disclosed are algorithms and agent-based structures for a system and technique for analyzing and managing the airspace. The technique includes managing bulk properties of large numbers of heterogeneous multidimensional aircraft trajectories in an airspace, for the purpose of maintaining or increasing system safety, and to identify possible phase transition structures to predict when an airspace will approach the limits of its capacity. The paths of the multidimensional aircraft trajectories are continuously recalculated in the presence of changing conditions (traffic, exclusionary airspace, weather, for example) while optimizing performance measures and performing trajectory conflict detection and resolution. Such trajectories are represented as extended objects endowed with pseudo-potential, maintaining objectives for time, acceleration limits, and fuel-efficient paths by bending just enough to accommodate separation.

When the luminance level of the second pixel is lower than a first reference level and luminance difference between the first and second pixels or between the second and third pixels is greater than a second reference level, the controller may not apply the data to subpixels of the first or third pixel. Thus, on the RGBW type panel, sharpness of the edge area can be improved.

    Abstract: Provided is a display device capable of satisfactorily reducing power consumption while suppressing display degradation due to flicker. When an input unit (70) of a host accepts a predetermined input operation performed by a user (4) during pause driving of a liquid crystal display device (2), a check and adjustment process is started. In this check and adjustment process, a counter voltage that is applied to a common electrode of a display unit (100) changes from an optimum value (a value corresponding to a positive-negative balanced state) in accordance with the input operation performed by the user (4).
