IPC: B60R21/36
Filed: 2015-09-17
Abstract: A vehicle front end assembly includes a radiator assembly 30, a fascia component 14 overlapping the radiator assembly, and a grill 18 laterally aligned with the radiator assembly. The grill and radiator assembly define an airflow space 31 longitudinally therebetween. The front end assembly further includes an airbag 50 coupled between the fascia component and the radiator assembly, and the airbag is disposed outside of the airflow space in both deflated and inflated configurations. The airbag may comprise two fluidly partitioned segments (120, 122 figure 4) which may be detached from one another. The fascia component may have at least one movable portion that the airbag displaces forward in the inflated configuration (figure 2C). A computer may determine when one or more operating thresholds have been achieved, such as the vehicle travelling below a predetermined speed, before the airbag is inflated. The assembly is intended to provide variable stiffness such that a lower vehicle stiffness may be provided in an impact likely to involve a pedestrian.

Title: Method and system for reducing ringing artifacts in x-ray image
Inventor: ZHAOXIA ZHANG
IPC: H04N5/325
Filed: 2017-03-27
Abstract: An X-ray image is acquired (B181) by scanning an object (e.g. a head), wherein the image comprises grid line artefacts (e.g. resulting from using an anti-scatter grid array). A first and second bandwidth filter having different bandwidths are respectively applied to the X-ray image so as to obtain a filtered first image and a filtered second image (B182). A weighting map is constructed (B183) according to the X-ray image, e.g. using a dilation of an identified strong edge. The filtered first image and the filtered second image are fused (B184) with the map to obtain an output image, achieved by applying different weighting to different areas of the filtered first and second images according to the map. Applying the first and second filters may involve performing a Fourier transform on the X-ray image to convert it to a frequency domain, applying the first and second filters in the frequency domain, and performing an inverse Fourier transform to convert the filtered first and second images back to the spatial domain. The filter bandwidths may be determined based on the frequency peak and distribution of the grid line artifacts.

Title: Digital radio communication
Inventor: Wei Ll
IPC: H04B1/7073
Filed: 2017-12-01
Abstract: A correlator of a receiver correlates a received signal with a stored predetermined pattern (such as a chip sequence) to produce a correlation signal comprising a plurality of correlation peaks 401, 402,409 separated in time. The amplitude of a first peak is determined and used to calculate a dynamic threshold (e.g. using the equation on page 5). This threshold is referred to as a selection threshold herein. A second peak is compared with the selection threshold to determine whether the second peak is merely a sidelobe 401a, 401b, or is another main correlation peak. This comparison may only be carried out on second peaks which are separated in time from the first peak by an unexpected time interval. The selection threshold may additionally be based on a fixed threshold. The signal may be a Bluetooth (RTM) signal and may include at least some bits encoded using direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) encoding. These encoded bits may comprise a repeated bit sequence. The identified peaks may be used for synchronization purposes.
