  • Assistant system for safe driving by informative supervision and training
    Publication number: 20020063639
    Abstract: It is reported that more than half a million souls are lost per year due to traffic accidents throughout the world. These losses have been a very serious topic. Until now, no one could understand or supervise a driver's driving behavior, unless a supervisor was with him in the same vehicle. By the use of recent computer and communication technologies, we invented a system based on our safe driving theory, for a supervisor from a remote place to supervise and train drivers to drive safely. A computer in a vehicle obtains information concerning the driver's driving behavior by sensors in the vehicle and sends it to a supervisor outside of the vehicle. The supervisor can recognize unsafe behavior and train the driver in safe driving.

  • MERCHANDISING COMMUNICATION AND STOCK-OUT CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20180165626
    Abstract: A system and method for stock-out detection in a retail environment. The method includes sending, from a reference ultrasound emitter, a reference ultrasound pulse that is at least partially reflected by a retail shelf so as to form a return pulse. The return pulse is received at a reference ultrasound receiver. A reference round-trip-delay (RTD) corresponding to a time period between the sending of the reference pulse and the receiving of the return pulse is determined. A monitoring ultrasound pulse is sent toward the retail shelf and a reflection of the monitoring ultrasound pulse is received. A stock-out condition is determined based upon a comparison of the reference RTD and a monitored RTD associated with the monitoring ultrasound pulse.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FREQUENCY OFFSETTING OF INFORMATION COMMUNICATED IN MIMO-BASED WIRELESS NETWORKS
    Publication number: 20090180466
    Abstract: A communications system includes a multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) architecture for high capacity switched mesh networks. The MIMO architecture has a plurality of radio frequency chains. One of the plurality of radio frequency chains is configured to apply a first frequency offset to a base frequency of an output signal to generate a first transmitting frequency; and another of the plurality of radio frequency chains being configured to apply a second frequency offset to the base frequency to generate a second transmitting frequency.
