Title: Traffic flow rate measurement systems
Inventor: PHILIP DAVID HAYTON
IPC: G08G1/04
Filed: 2015-02-09
Abstract: A vehicle A is detected by first and second detectors 11,12 at respective locations that are separated by a known distance. The travel time of the vehicle between the two locations is determined and displayed 13 to other vehicles. Thus vehicles waiting in a queue to enter a car park or vehicles held up in a traffic jam are informed of their anticipated waiting time as determined from the vehicle flow rate ahead. The detectors may be optical detectors comprising light emitters and receivers 14,14. They determine a unique signature of the vehicle from light in multiple polarised wavelengths reflected from its door panel 15. Alternatively the detectors may rely on automatic number plate recognition; a radio frequency signal emitted from the vehicle; or radar.

Title: Radiation imaging apparatus and radiation detection system
Inventor: KEIGO YOKOYAMA
IPC: G01T1/20
Filed: 2015-08-11
Abstract: A radiation imaging apparatus has three time periods for operation. In T1 the presence or absence of radiation (such as source operation) is measured by combination of detection pixel signals or using bias current changes. In T2 dose is determined by switched or capacitive connection of separate detection pixels, or potential change of image pixels using a MOSFET amplifier and reset switch. In T3 the image signal is read out by individual switching of image pixels. Many embodiments show either a separate array of detection pixels for presence and dose determination, combined on the same substrates as some of the image pixels. A further embodiment shows a single array including transistors for a reset switch and MOS amplification.
