Title: A modular electrofluidic display device
Inventor: SIU WAI HO
IPC: G09G3/34
Filed: 2016-04-15
Abstract: A modular electro-fluidic (or electro-wetting display) comprises three fluid layers, 11, 21, 31 and four oil layers, 10, 20, 30, 40 arranged in an alternating stack structure with a fluid layer interspersed between each oil layer. Three of the oil layers may contain cyan, magenta and yellow coloured oils. The fourth oil layer may contain oil of a background colour. In a traditional display mode, the colour of the oil on the fourth layer may serve as the background colour of the pixel. Light from the rear is blocked by the fourth oil layer. In a mode where both sides of the display are required to display images, the oil in the background layer may be displaced with a voltage applied so that light can traverse to all the coloured oils from both front end as well as the back end of the display. As a result the electro-fluidic display can display imagery both on a front side and a rear side of a display.

Title: Autonomous driving at intersections based on perception data
Inventor: Ashley Elizabeth Micks
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2016-11-03
Abstract: A driver's intention and future movements of a proximal vehicle, whether an automated vehicle or a human driven vehicle, are predicted by a system which includes an intersection component, a camera system, a boundary component, and a prediction component. The intersection component determines that a parent vehicle is near an intersection. The camera system captures an image of the proximal vehicle. The boundary component identifies a sub-portion of the image containing a turn signal indicator on the proximal vehicle. The prediction component predicts future movement of the proximal vehicle through the intersection based on a state of the turn signal indicator and optionally the body language (gaze direction, head orientation etc.) of the driver of the proximal vehicle as seen in the image, previous motion of the proximal vehicle, and length of time that the proximal vehicle has been at the intersection. Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) communication are possible.
