IPC: B60R1/00
Filed: 2018-06-04
Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for determining a vehicle view based on a relative location of a remote display. A vehicle 100 includes a plurality of cameras 312A, 312B configured to capture images of the vehicle surroundings. The vehicle also includes a communication system (120, figure 1), and a processor (110).

Abstract: A method of deriving a linear model for obtaining a first component sample for a first-component block from an associated reconstructed second-component sample of a second-component block in the same frame. The method comprises determining three points, each point being defined by two variables. The first variable corresponding to a second-component sample value, the second variable corresponding to a first-component sample value, based on reconstructed samples of both the first-component and the second-component. Parameters of two linear equations are determined, a first equation representing a straight line passing through said first and second adjacent points, and the second linear equation passing through said second and third adjacent points. The second point representing an average of a selection of said sample values. A continuous linear model is then derived, defined by the parameters of the straight lines.

Title: Topology control system and control method for dynamic network
Inventor: CHANGLE LI
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 2021-06-14
Abstract: A topology control system includes a sensing module, a data processing module, a data judgment module, a communication module and a central module. The sensing module collects data of surrounding nodes and transmits it to the data processing module for caching. The data processing module selects a cluster head of the current node according to the data in the cache and then transmits it to the data judgment module. The data judgment module checks the rationality of the cluster head and if the selection is reasonable feeds back the result to the data processing module. The communication module monitors the data sent by the data processing module and is responsible for wireless transmission of cluster head information to the central module. The central module collects the data of all nodes in the network and transmits the results to a client. It can be used for topology control of an ad-hoc network composed of fast-moving vehicles such as automobiles, ships, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Selecting a cluster head involves classifying nodes according to an attraction matrix of the network and calculating an optimal transmission power of each node and whether the topology meets a connectivity requirement.

Title: Tunnel lining method and apparatus
Inventor: COLIN MICHAEL EDDIE
IPC: E21D11/10
Filed: 2022-04-14
Abstract: An apparatus for lining a tunnel comprises a plurality of injectors 7 that place and compress lining material on an internal tunnel surface to form a structural tunnel lining. The injectors 7 exert pressure for moving the apparatus forwards as the material is discharged, and there is articulated shuttering provided on the trailing side of the apparatus. The shuttering comprises mutually articulated rings of plates, and rods extending through apertures in the rings to constrain the degree of relative displacement of the rings. The tunnel is therefore lined and formed in-situ and is watertight. The injectors may be arranged around a periphery of the apparatus with feed lines located within the apparatus for feeding lining material to the injectors, and each injector may include a piston slidable within a cylinder to expel lining material therefrom, the pistons having holes for removing water from the lining material through the injector.
