Title: Detecting vehicles in low light conditions
Inventor: Maryam Moosaei
IPC: G01S17/86
Filed: 2018-01-22
Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for detecting vehicles 221a 221c in low light conditions. Cameras 204 are used to obtain red, green, blue (RGB) images of the environment around a vehicle. RGB images are converted 213 to LAB images 233. The "A" channel is filtered to extract contours from LAB images 214. The contours are filtered based on their shapes/sizes to reduce false positives from contours unlikely to correspond to vehicles. A neural network 217 classifies an object as a vehicle or non-vehicle based the contours 237. Vehicles can be detected at night as well as in other low light conditions using their head lights and tail (rear) lights, enabling autonomous vehicles to better detect other vehicles in their environment. Vehicle detections can be facilitated using a combination of virtual data, deep learning, and computer vision. The contour may be sent along with range data from a LIDAR sensor 206 to the neural network.

Title: Full duplex individual call via linked single frequency repeaters
Inventor: HUN WENG KHOO
IPC: H04W88/04
Filed: 2014-07-15
Abstract: A system comprises a dispatch console (424), a radio controller (422) and a subscriber unit (430). The system is provided for enabling full duplex individual calls in repeater mode between the dispatch console (424) and the subscriber unit (430), in a N:1 slotting ratio time division multiple access (TDMA) radio system. The dispatch console (424) receives a request for a full duplex individual call to the subscriber unit (430). The radio controller (422) assigns a first time slot and a second time slot of the N time slots, on a single frequency. Each time slot is for one of inbound and outbound transmissions for the full duplex individual call between an assigned repeater (410) and the subscriber unit (430). The subscriber unit (430) receives a grant message indicating the assigned single frequency, the assigned first time slot and the assigned second time slot. This allows a subscriber unit in a TDMA system to operate in a full duplex mode without requiring it to switch its synthesizer between a transmit frequency and a receive frequency.

Title: Geared bracket for a window shade
Inventor: JOEL BERMAN
IPC: E06B9/78
Filed: 2018-03-29
Abstract: The geared bracket 200 has a sprocket 220 having a ring gear on an inside circumference, a chain 210 engaged with the sprocket for rotating the sprocket, a sun gear 230 which is restricted from rotation, at least one planet gear 240 engaging the ring gear and rotatable around the sun gear, and a planetary carrier 260 mated with the planet gear(s). There may be a drum 290 having a hub 280 at its end. The planetary carrier may be in contact with the hub via a wrap spring clutch mechanism 207 to drive the drum. The chain may have a stop bead 205. The sun gear may be located on a hexagonal shaft which prevents rotation. In response to the chain being pulled, the sprocket rotates, causing the planet gears to rotate, rotating the planetary carrier, causing the hub and the drum to rotate via the clutch. The gearing allows a gear ratio less than 2:1, for example 1.6:1, so that a stop bead can be used to prevent over rotation of the drum.

Title: Fluid sensing system and methods
Inventor: James Andrew Bremner
IPC: G01V8/16
Filed: 2018-09-06
Abstract: Light from laser 4 is varied through a range of wavelengths and modulated by a cyclical carrier function. The modulated light is received by a plurality of first fibre portions 10a, b and a second fibre portion 20 that provides a reference arm. Each first fibre portion is associated with a void 14 into which fluid from the surrounding environment can flow; light from the fibre interacts with fluid in the void.

Title: Routing protocol and distributed router
Inventor: CHIANG YEH
IPC: H04L45/748
Filed: 2019-05-16
Abstract: A routing protocol comprises receiving a packet at an ingress internal node of a distributed router having a plurality of nodes, the packet having a header containing a global destination address, converting the global address into a local destination address, possibly by using longest prefix matching, and routing the packet to the local address. The local address may include a router destination node address, and the address of a destination port thereon. The router may include a local control CPU. If the ingress node is the destination node, a first routing lookup may use the destination port address to determine an ingress node egress port from which the packet is outputted from the router. If the ingress node is not the destination node, the packet may be sent to an intermediate node, where a second routing lookup may determine an egress port on that node. A further protocol comprises receiving the packet at an internal node, the packet having a header with the local destination address, and routing based on the local address. Advantageously, the computationally demanding conversion from global to local address only has to occur once in the distributed router, i.e. at the ingress node.

Title: Control of data transfer between processors
Inventor: LARS PAUL HUSE
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 2020-01-15
Abstract: A multiprocessor data processing system carries out data transfer operations between processors in data exchange stages. the processors send and receive data in each of the stages. The data sent by a processor in a stage is dependent on data received by the processor in a previous stage. During an exchange stage, a processor determines the outgoing data that is dependent on the incoming data. Once a predetermined amount of data has been received, the processor transfers the determined outgoing data in the next stage. A processor may have different predetermined amounts of received data for different outgoing data to different other processors. The processors may have multiple processing units of different types. One type of unit may count the incoming data. The system may use a ring topology in which each processor transfers data to and from its nearest neighbours. The system may be implementing a machine learning model and the data may be weight gradients.
