Abstract:
A method of measuring a step height of a device using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the method may include providing a device which comprises a first region and a second region, wherein a step is formed between the first region and the second region, obtaining a SEM image of the device by photographing the device using a SEM, wherein the SEM image comprises a first SEM image region for the first region and a second SEM image region for the second region, converting the SEM image into a gray-level histogram and calculating a first peak value related to the first SEM image region and a second peak value related to the second SEM image region, wherein the first peak value and the second peak value are repeatedly calculated by varying a focal length of the SEM, and determining a height of the step by analyzing a trend of changes in the first peak value according to changes in the focal length and a trend of changes in the second peak value according to the changes in the focal length.

Abstract:
A collision avoidance system in a host vehicle that provides automatic steering control using differential braking in the event that the normal steering control fails. The system determines whether a collision with an object, such as a target vehicle, in front of the host vehicle is imminent, and if so, determines an optimal path for the host vehicle to travel along to avoid the object if the collision is imminent. The collision avoidance system may determine that automatic steering is necessary to cause the vehicle to travel along the optimal path to avoid the target. If the collision avoidance system does determine that automatic steering is necessary and detects that normal vehicle steering has failed, the system uses differential braking to steer the vehicle along the path.

Abstract:
A method and system may calculate a steering adjustment required for a vehicle traveling on a roadway to execute a transition to lane centering maneuver. A steering limit may be selected or calculated in accordance with a desired smoothness level for completing the maneuver. The steering limit may be applied to a steering adjustment to obtain a modified steering adjustment, and the modified steering adjustment may be applied to the vehicle.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A vehicle is configured to execute an autonomic lane change maneuver and is equipped with a spatial monitoring system. Each of a plurality of objects located proximate to the vehicle is monitored. Locations of each of the objects are predicted relative to a projected trajectory of the vehicle. A collision risk level between the vehicle and each of the objects is assessed.
