Title: A lens breech locking mechanism and devices employing such
Inventor: PETER CHUNG MAN HO
IPC: H04N5/225
Filed: 2020-04-23
Abstract: A camera lens breech lock mechanism has an opening for a camera lens engagement structure (12, figure 4) with a rotating collar 14 at the opening’s mouth with lens locking members 4 extending radially inwards spaced around its perimeter. A friction locking ring 6 is spaced below the rotating collar so that projections of the engagement structure of the lens 1 are captured between the lens locking members and the friction locking ring. The friction locking ring also has raised shelf regions 5 adjacent the mouth of the opening to contact an outer portion of the lens’s engagement structure and limit the extent that the lens can extend into the opening. The friction locking ring may have four evenly distributed, raised shelf regions which may extend beyond the lens locking members. A bracket 7 may be located within the middle of the friction locking ring which may have lens positioning holes 9 and bolt mounting holes 10. A lens breech locking device has the breech lock mechanism with a camera lens adapter 2 where the lens locking members lock the lens’s engagement structure in the adapter opening and are located between the raised shelf regions and the friction locking ring.

Inventor: YUCHUAN FU
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2022-05-31
Abstract: Method of making a decision for an AV for autonomous driving, by acquiring surrounding environmental and traffic data real-time, establishing a local decision-making model based on the environment (which may be a Markov decision process model including a vehicle, pedestrian and obstacle model), learning the manoeuvre of the AV by deep machine leaning and extracting driving rules, augmenting the expert system knowledge base, and determining if there is an emergency and if so, making a decision based on the machine learning model; otherwise, adjusting the machine learning model based on the augmented expert system knowledge base, and making a decision accordingly. Method overcomes the limited adaptability and difficulty of expansion of the expert system knowledge base, and the limited training data and opaque nature of machine learning. Blockchain may be used for privacy and data security when transmitting the extracted driving rules. Emergency may be decided by travelled distance, braking distance and longitudinal distance to other traffic participant. The augmented expert system knowledge base and local decision-making model may be combined to control acceleration, braking and steering.
