Title: Time of flight and picture camera
Inventor: XU ZHANPING
IPC: G01S17/86
Filed: 2019-03-27
Abstract: A CW-TOF camera 20 operates to acquire a range image of a scene 130, optionally including objects 131 and 132, and provides distances to features in the scene and a picture image of the scene. CW-TOF camera 20 comprises an optical system represented by a lens 21, a light source 30 controllable to transmit, optionally IR, light to illuminate scene 130 and optionally a visible light source 30-V, which may be a white light source, controllable to illuminate scene 130 with visible, optionally white, light 31-V. CW-TOF camera 20 also comprises a photosensor 40 on which optical system 21 images IR light reflected by features in scene 130 from the transmitted IR light and visible light from visible light source 30-V and ambient light that the features reflect. The CW-TOF camera comprises an oscillator 50 that provides a modulation frequency for modulating IR light that light source 30 transmits, a phase shifter 52 for providing sampling phase offsets for sampling IR light reflected by features in scene 130 back to the camera., and a controller 54 that controls components comprised in the CW-TOF camera. Photosensor 40, a portion of which is shown in an inset 60, provides CW-TOF camera 20 with data for producing a range image of scene 130 and a color picture image of the scene. The photosensor comprises rows and columns of light sensitive pixels referenced generically as pixels 41. Pixels 41 comprise IR sensitive pixels 41-IR for registering reflected IR light from features in scene 130 and color pixels 41-R, 41-G, and 41-B for registering respectively R, G, and B light from the features. A processor in the TOF camera processes amounts of IR light that the IR pixels in the photosensor register and visible light from the scene that the color pixels in the photosensor register to estimate intensities of visible light incident on the IR and color pixels. The processor optionally uses the determined estimates to provide a picture image of the scene for which a visual light intensity is associated with each IR pixel as well as color pixel located in a region of the photosensor used to generate the picture image. The picture image therefore benefits from an image resolution that substantially matches that provided by the pitch of pixels in the photosensor, agnostic as to whether they are IR or color pixels.

Title: Towing vehicle controller using trailer braking strategy and trailer braking control method
Inventor: KASPER PHILLIP J
IPC: B60T8/17
Filed: 2019-07-24
Abstract: A braking controller (22) and method in a towing vehicle towing one or more towed vehicles as a combination vehicle provides brake control of the one or more towed vehicles based on a level of braking force applied to the towing vehicle. A non-enhanced braking mode applies a first level of braking force to the towed vehicles in a predetermined reduced proportion relative to the level of braking force applied to the towing vehicle, and an enhanced braking mode applies a second level of braking force to the towed vehicles greater than the first level of braking force. A needed deceleration is compared with a threshold corresponding to the non- enhanced braking mode. Alternatively, a needed deceleration is used to determine a needed (momentary) distance, which distance is compared with a detected distance. The braking mode is in all cases determined on the basis of the mentioned comparisons.
