IPC: B60T8/17
Filed: 2015-06-30
Abstract: A braking system, for a motor vehicle, comprises at least one control element 11 having a brake pedal 12, a pressure sensor and an angle sensor. The brake pedal is actuated by a driver of the vehicle and wirelessly transmits at least one first signal 15 which has a value that is indicative of a braking force for braking the vehicle. The value of the first signal 15 is dependent on pressure detected by the pressure sensor and/or an angle detected by the angle sensor. First signal 15 is wirelessly transmitted to at least one control unit 22 which, on a basis of the first signal 15, generates and wirelessly transmits a control signal 24 to a braking device 16 so as to control the braking device 16 and brake a wheel. A wheel speed sensor wirelessly transmits a speed signal to the control unit 22 which generates the control signal 24 based on the first signal 15 and the speed signal.

IPC: G06T19/20
Filed: 2016-12-02
Abstract: A scan of an interior space obtains a three-dimensional (3D) model, e.g. including a point cloud and/or images. An entity, such as a user, pet, or other object is scanned separately at a different location to obtain an entity 3D model. A reference feature (e.g. floor to ceiling distance) is identified in the space scan and a scale of that scan is determined (502) based on a size of the reference feature. A reference feature (e.g. body part such as a leg) of the entity scan is similarly used to determine a scale of the entity scan (504). The scans are scaled to match each other (506) prior to combining (508). The combined model may then be displayed or 3D printed (510). The model may be divided into separate pieces prior to 3D printing, the separate pieces being fastened to one another after printing.

Abstract: A method and receiver 110 for providing an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement, ACK/NACK, message of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ, process relating to a set of transport blocks received from a transmitter 120. Each transport block comprises a set of code block groups and each code block group comprises a set of code blocks. The transmitter encodes bits for the ACK/NACK message S060 by using a binary search to indicate one or more sets of code blocks to be re-transmitted, i.e. the ACK/NACK message indicates which code blocks were received with errors. Within the ACK/NACK message each set of code blocks to be re-transmitted is indicated by a respective cleared bit (i.e. a zero). Said respective bit (zero) is included in order according to the binary search. The respective bits may be included line by line from a tree structure obtained by the binary search (Figure 5) or alternatively in a branch by branch fashion (Figure 6). The transmitter terminates S070 encoding S060 of the bits for the ACK/NACK message using the binary search when said each set of code blocks consists of one code block or a number of bits included in the ACK/NACK message has reached a predetermined number.
