    摘要: A system for a vehicle may include a laser driver configured to produce a laser. The system may also include phased array optics provided at an output of the laser driver. The phased array optics may receive the laser. As such, the phased array optics may be within a pathway of the laser. The system may further include a controller configured to control the laser driver and the phased array optics to provide a variable field of vision pattern for a vehicle.

    摘要: A data processing system and a method for controlling a data processing system is shown. The data processing system includes a plurality of data processing units, wherein each of the data processing units has a predetermined criticality, and at least one component, which may be a sensor, an actuator or a data processing unit. The data of the component may be stored in/read from a storage unit of a data processing unit having the highest criticality by the plurality of data processing units.

    摘要: A dynamic map display presents a dynamic image on a display screen of a vehicle. The dynamic map display includes a camera aimed at and above the horizon in front of the vehicle to capture a background image, which is transmitted to a controller via a first communications channel. A map generator within the controller generates a map image showing navigational directions. The controller also includes an image generator combining the background image with the map image as the dynamic image, which is transmitted to the display screen via a second communications channel. The background image and the map image are each complementary shaped to fill the display screen in any one of several different views and with the background image and the map image having different shapes and/or sizes. A method for generating a dynamic image is also disclosed.

    摘要: A data processing system (1) for a vehicle, comprises at least one sensor (2a, 2b, 2c), each generating sensor data; and, for each sensor (2a, 2b, 2c), a first interface (3) for outputting the generated sensor data to a serializer (4) for converting and encrypting the outputted sensor data, received from the first interface (3), into a serialized data stream which is encrypted using a specific key; a communication link (5) for transmitting the data stream between the serializer (4) and a deserializer (6) for converting and decrypting the transmitted serialized data stream using the specific key; and a second interface (7) for outputting the decrypted data stream to a data processing device (8) for processing the decrypted data stream.

    摘要: A LIDAR apparatus (20) includes a laser source (22) generating a first beam (24) of laser light and an imaging device (28) generating an image signal (32) of a pattern of points (26) overlaid upon an image (34) of one or more objects (36). A controller (38) includes an object detection module (40) receiving the image signal and determining if the object is a protected object (36'), such as a person susceptible to vision impairment from exposure to laser light. A laser intensity module (42) provides an intensity control signal to the laser source and causes the laser source to vary the intensity of the laser light directed toward each of the protected objects. A spatial light modulator (SLM) (44) may modulate the first beam (24) to project the pattern of points. An SLM control module (46) varies the intensity of the laser light by providing the SLM with an intensity control signal (43) describing one or more low intensity regions (48) corresponding to each of the protected objects (36').
