Patent EP-1707985-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HOLM DAVID R
IPC: G01S13/87
Filed: 2006-03-13
Abstract: A method and system for determining the position of a vehicle comprises a transmitter or transceiver for transmitting a transmission signal from a vehicle to beacons associated with the work area. Each beacon is associated with a corresponding transceiver or receiver for receiving the transmission signal. A data processor at a beacon, the vehicle or both determines an elapsed time including at least one of a first propagation duration and a second propagation duration. The first propagation duration refers to a propagation time of the transmission signal from the vehicle to the particular beacon; the second propagation duration refers to a propagation time of a return signal from the particular beacon to the vehicle. A compensator compensates for one or more of the following associated with at least one of the transmitter and the particular beacon: bias delay, noise, and measurement error. A data processor processes the elapsed times (for paths between vehicles and beacons) into corresponding position curves or temporal curves to estimate a position of a vehicle at a confluence or intersection of the position curves or temporal curves.

Abstract: Surface normals and other 3D shape descriptors are determined for a specular or hybrid specular-diffuse object. A camera records an image of a smoothly spatially-varying pattern being reflected in the surface of the object, with the pattern placed at an initial position. The camera then records multiple images of the pattern undergoing a sequence of subsequent displacements to a final position distinct from the initial position. For a pixel in the images, the pattern displacement that corresponds to the minimum difference between the pixel value in the initial image and any of the final images is determined. The incident ray that strikes the surface of the object at the point being imaged by the pixel is then determined using the determined pattern displacement. The surface normal at that same surface point is then determined using the determined incident ray. Other 3D shape descriptors are determined from the surface normals of the object, such as principal curvatures, or the principal axes of a parametric surface, or the 3D shape, or the object pose.

Abstract: A method for reducing nitrogen oxides including NO and NO2 in an exhaust stream also comprising oxygen, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons at a temperature above about 150°C, the method including in embodiments oxidizing NO in the exhaust stream to NO2; reforming raw diesel fuel to produce OHC's from the fuel; adding diesel fuel hydrocarbons and their oxygenates to the exhaust stream for the reduction of nitrogen oxides; and contacting the exhaust stream with a reduction hybrid catalyst comprising BaY-Ag/A1203 to reduce the nitrogen oxides to N2. The method reduces NOx initially through the (HC+OHC)/SCR process producing N2, while also producing NH3 as a byproduct over Ag/A12O3. The NH3 subsequently reduces NOx over the BaY-Ag/Al2O3 hybrid catalyst through the NH3/SCR process, producing more N2 and thereby enhancing the NOx reduction efficiency of the hybrid catalyst system.

Abstract: An obstacle avoidance control apparatus is provided with an obstacle detecting section, a first obstacle proximity distance prediction section, a second obstacle avoidance direction determining section, a target vehicle body slip angle (β) setting section and a vehicle behavior controlling section. The obstacle detecting section detects preceding obstacles. The first obstacle proximity distance prediction section predicts a closest proximity distance between the host vehicle (1) and a first (closest) obstacle (4). The second obstacle avoidance direction determining section determines a second obstacle avoidance direction to avoid the second obstacle (5). The target vehicle body slip angle setting section sets a target vehicle body slip angle (β), such that the host vehicle (1) faces further inward of the turning direction as the proximity distance increases. The vehicle behavior controlling section controls the host vehicle so that an actual vehicle body slip angle (β) coincides with the target vehicle body slip angle at the time of closest proximity.
