    摘要: A system and method for calibrating the bias and scale factors of a heading rate sensor, such as a yaw-rate sensor, using GPS signals. The system receives wheel speed or rotation signals, a vehicle odometer reading, GPS signals and yaw-rate signals. The system includes a wheel-slip detection processor that determines whether there is wheel-slip based on the wheel speed signals and the GPS signals. The system also includes a wheel-based acceleration processor that estimates vehicle acceleration. The system also includes a differential odometry processor that determines vehicle heading based on wheel speed. The system also includes a GPS reference data validation processor that determines whether the GPS signals are valid using the estimated vehicle acceleration and wheel speeds. The valid GPS signals are then used to calibrate the yaw-rate sensor signals, which can be used for vehicle heading purposes.

    摘要: A portable and adjustable child potty is invented and described. The invention provides the perfect combination of utility, efficiency, and hygiene. The device can be adjusted to suit users of different ages and body sizes in terms of its height, width, and length. The invented device can be packaged to a Travel Size such that it takes very little space for transportation. Size adjustment and Travel size to usage size changes can be done using a series of easily adjustable locks that can be operated by hand without the use of particular tools. The device is constructed using pipes such that a length of each arm can be adjusted by moving parts of the arms with respect to each other and locking them at a preferred setting. The potty seat can also be folded and contracted to a Travel Size. The device uses a biodegradable and disposable bag to collect the waste. A particular embodiment of the device may include height adjustable arm rests and a back rest. The device may also be used with an optional activity surface. While adult supervision of the use is always required, the anti-roll base and pelvic belt provide additional stability for the use with young children.

    摘要: A method and system is provided for determining a relative position between a host vehicle and a remote vehicle using an indirect assisting entity technique. A GPS position of the host vehicle and a remote vehicle are obtained. A number of common satellites providing GPS data to the host vehicle and the remote vehicle are determined. An indirect-assisting entity is identified having a common number of satellites in communication between the host vehicle and remote vehicle, respectively, which is greater than the number of common satellites between host vehicle and the remote vehicle. A relative position is determined between the host vehicle and the indirect-assisting entity, and the remote vehicle and the indirect-assisting entity. A position of the host vehicle relative to the remote vehicle is determined as a function of the determined position of the host vehicle and remote vehicle relative to the indirect-assisting entity.

    摘要: A traffic flow advisory system includes a locating device for identifying a position of a driven vehicle. A communication device exchanges vehicle position data, speed data, and heading data with remote vehicles. A processor constructs a traffic flow rate in a plurality of road lanes based on the position data and speed data. A human machine interface indicates to a driver of the driven vehicle the traffic flow rate of each of the road lanes.
