Abstract: An object detection apparatus (10)is provided for detecting both stationary objects and moving objects accurately from an image captured from a moving mobile unit. 
     The object detection apparatus (10) of the present invention applies Gabor filter to two or more input images captured by an imaging device (12) such as CCD camera mounted on a mobile unit, and calculates (2, 3, 4) optical flow of local areas in the input images. Then the object detection apparatus closely removes optical flow produced by motion of the mobile unit by estimating optical flow produced from background of the input images. In other words, the object detection apparatus clarifies the area where object is not present ("ground") in the input images. By removing such "ground" part, the area where objects seems to be present ("feature") is extracted from the input images. Finally, the object detection apparatus (10) determines (7) whether objects are present or not using flow information of the extracted "feature" part.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a brake wear detection device for
trailer units (2), comprising an electrical circuit (4), normally
closed, that is fed from the tractor unit (1). It connects the entire
series of conventional devices for detecting wear and tear in the lining
of brake shoes or pads located in each of the wheels (2a-2f) of the
trailer unit, and which is connected to a relay (3) that is able to
induce the closure of an additional circuit (5), which is normally open,
that is also connected to the same relay. 
     It is advantageous to equip any trailer unit hooked up to a tractor
unit, such as trailers for buses, trucks, tractors, cars, caravans, and
so on, with braking devices independent of the braking devices of the
tractor unit, in order to limit the inertial effect of the trailer
against the aforementioned tractor when the tractor unit brakes. When
operated together from the tractor, both braking systems can act
independently or in synch.

Abstract: A scanning optical system using a short-wavelength
light of 500 nm or less uses a
reflecting mirror having a higher absolute
reflectivity and having reduced wavelength and
angle dependences. Divergent ray of light emitted
from a semiconductor laser is converted into an
approximately parallel light beam by a collimator
lens and the diameter of the light flux is reduced
by an aperture before travel to a polygon mirror.
The light beam from the polygon mirror passes
through scanning lenses to form a small spot at
any point in the entire scanning area. The
semiconductor laser is a gallium nitride
semiconductor laser having an oscillation
wavelength of 408 nm. The polygon mirror has such
a characteristic that, if the complex refractive
index N of a metallic film contributing to a
reflection characteristic of the reflecting mirror
is defined as N(λ) = n(λ) - ik(λ), then k(λ) >    (-n λ  + 18n λ  - 1)    is satisfied.

Abstract: Mapping information is presented to a user. Information about
dynamic road conditions is integrated into static mapping data (22) to
generate dynamic mapping data (24). The dynamic mapping data    (24)    is
displayed to a user via a display (14). For example, the dynamic road
conditions are obtained from a detector (13) that detects dynamic road
conditions. The detector (13) is, for example, a safety warning system
detector. Alternatively, the detector (13) may be some other type of detecting
device such as a radar detector. The information about dynamic road
conditions can also be obtained from a wireless service (16) that accumulates
information about dynamic road conditions. Any information about
dynamic road conditions obtained from a detector (13) that detects dynamic
road conditions can be forwarded to the wireless service (16) to make the
information available to other users with access to the wireless service (16).
Positioning information can be used to display to the user a current position
relative to the dynamic mapping data (24). For example the positioning
information is obtained from a global positioning system (GPS) or from some
other positioning methodology. In order to generate an optimal route for
travel between two locations, information about dynamic road conditions can
be integrated with the static mapping data (22) to assure a best current route
is determined.

Abstract: A composition is proposed for use in preventing the formation of ice or snow on outdoor surfaces, such as roadways or aggregate stockpiles, and also for deicing surfaces upon which snow or ice has formed. The composition is formed from a waste product of the process of removing sugar from molasses, also known as desugared molasses. As a byproduct of a widely used process for making edible sugar, the desugared molasses is readily available at a low cost. Moreover, the composition is ready for use in conventional spraying equipment without the need for mixing agents, is environmentally friendly, and is able to perform at temperatures well below the freezing point of water. The composition is also noncorrosive and can be admixed with chloride salts, such as magnesium, calcium, or sodium chloride, to reduce the corrosiveness of the resulting solution while still providing effective deicing activity.
