Title: Video speed detection system
Inventor: WANG JIGANG
IPC: G08G1/01
Filed: 2008-01-07
Abstract: A system and method for measuring vehicle speeds using video sensing. The system comprises a tracking camera that generates accurately time-stamped video sequences of the monitored road at high frame rates and a processing unit that analyzes the video sequences in real time to detect moving vehicles and calculate their speeds using the time-over-distance method. The system automatically detects moving vehicles in each image frame and derives vehicle positions from a projective mapping established from reference markers on the road. Time information is obtained from the date and time stamp associated with each image frame. In one example, the system also allows a user of the system to set a trigger speed, and the system automatically saves a video clip of the vehicle whose speed exceeds the trigger speed, recording the speeding vehicle passing through the monitored traffic zone defined by the reference markers.

Abstract: A reversibly operable motor is mechanically connected to automatically position the piston (27) of an air syringe (26) that is pneumatically connected to the inflatable/deflatable seal ring or cuff (19) of a laryngeal mask airway device (LMA) (12) that is installed in a patient, who is being ventilated and/or anaesthetized via the airway of the LMA device (12). Ideally, (i) the air at the head end of the syringe (26), plus (ii) the air contained in the inflatable cuff (19) of the LMA (12), plus (iii) the air contained in their interconnection, is a 'substantially constant' volume which is shared at these three locations but which is automatically shifted by piston (27) displacement, such that air pressure in the substantially constant volume is caused to correct as necessary for conformance to a predetermined level of set-point pressure. Various instrumentalities (10), including microprocessor-controlled instrumentalities, continuously monitor patterns of system response to observed pattern abnormality, with audibly and visually reported warnings to the anaesthetist.

Abstract: A method and apparatus ('utility') for securing an electrical connection formed by a mating structure including prongs of a male assembly (50) and receptacles of a female assembly (20) are provided. The utility includes a clamping mechanism (40) whereby the very forces that would otherwise tend to pull the connection apart serve to actuate the clamping mechanism (40), thereby securing the mated pair. The apparatus may be integrated into a standard receptacle, or retrofitted to work with existing devices. In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism (40) acts solely on the ground prong (54) of the standard male assembly (50), so that it is unnecessary to consider electrical potentials applied to the clamped prong (54) in relation to the design of the clamping mechanism (40). Further, the withdrawing movement of the prong (54) of the male assembly (50) may be translated into a rotational movement of a portion of the clamping mechanism (40) into an abutting relationship with the clamped prong (54).
