    Abstract: A portable handheld traffic control device includes a lamp, a housing that encloses the lamp, and a handle. The handle attaches to a proximal (back) side of the housing and includes a control panel operable by a thumb of a hand grasping the handle. In a first (vehicle) mode, the lamp emits light on a distal (front) side of the housing in one of four colors: red, yellow, green, or white, when a respective button for the corresponding color is pressed. In a second (pedestrian) mode, pressing the red button causes the lamp to display a steady red upraised hand, pressing the yellow button causes the lamp to display a flashing red upraised hand, and pressing the green button causes the lamp to display a steady white walking person figure. A battery powers the lamp. The device includes a secondary display visible on the proximal (back) side of the device.

  • Publication number: 20200357281
    Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for predicting the availability of parking spots. In one exemplary embodiment, a driver of a first vehicle that is parked in a parking spot inputs into a device such as a smartphone, an estimated time of occupancy of the parking spot. This information is transmitted by the device to a server. A driver of a second vehicle may transmit to the server a request for a vacant parking spot. The server uses information such as the estimated time of occupancy to determine an expected wait time for the second vehicle to obtain the parking spot occupied by the first vehicle. The expected wait time is transmitted by the server to the driver of the second vehicle who can then drive to the parking spot when vacated. The server may provide driving directions to the driver to reach the vacated parking spot.

  • Publication number: 20200357284
    Abstract: An object detection section detects an object that is present in surroundings. A transmission section broadcasts a request signal requesting information regarding an object that has not been detected by the object detection section. A reception section receives a response signal in response to transmission of the request signal, the response signal including the information regarding the object that has not been detected by the object detection section. For example, a display control section controls display of a surrounding environment on the basis of information regarding positions and attributes of a predetermined number of objects detected by the object detection section and controls update of the display of the surrounding environment on the basis of information regarding a position and an attribute of the object that is included in the response signal and that has not been detected by the object detection section.

    Abstract: A signal protection circuit, a driving method thereof, and a device. A voltage division circuit divides a voltage of an input signal end and outputs a divided voltage. When the divided voltage is greater than a first threshold voltage and the divided voltage is less than a second threshold voltage, a signal control circuit outputs a first-level switch control signal. In this way, an output control circuit can connect the input signal end with an output signal end in response to the first-level switch control signal. When the divided voltage is less than the first threshold voltage or the divided voltage is greater than the second threshold voltage, the signal control circuit may output a second-level switch control signal. In this way, the output control circuit can connect the input signal end with a ground terminal in response to the second-level switch control signal.
