A system of mobile units are installed in multiple vehicles in traffic. These mobile units include both wireless communications devices and apparatus that determines the location of each vehicle. Monitoring a vehicle's position as a function of time also reveals the velocity of the vehicle. Position and speed information is periodically broadcast by the vehicles to a central monitoring station and to neighboring vehicles. At the central monitoring station, the collective input of a set of vehicles is processed to provide an instant chart of traffic conditions in the area. Warnings of delays or updates on traffic conditions on the road ahead are then automatically returned to subscribers of the information or are used as part of an Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS). Neighboring vehicles within a region communicating with one another form a network in which the broadcast information is processed locally on the respective vehicles to estimate possible problems ahead and consider computing an alternate road and/or checking with the central monitoring station for more information. If out of range of the central monitoring station, the vehicles in the network form a local area network for the exchange and update of information, and when any vehicle in the network is within range of the central monitoring station, the local area network data is uploaded to help update the overall traffic information.
摘要:
In joining conductors at different levels on a carrier to contact locations on a planar substrate, mound shaped connections are employed, with the height of each mound shaped connection extending to the level of the particular conductor to which it is bonded. The mound shaped connections are formed using planar processes of controlled volume deposition, surface tension shaping on reflow, and physical deformation. The height of the mound shaped connections are calculated empirically from the volume deposited bounded by the substrate pad after surface tension limits the slump on reflowing.

摘要:
An integrated circuit device package in which integrated circuit devices are mounted with active faces placed facing each other to form a double-device structure. Input/output terminals on the active faces of each device can be electrically interconnected by placing an interconnection means between the chips to electrically interconnect input/output terminals on the active faces of the first and second device. Beam leads, each having an inner and outer lead bond site, project outwardly from between the devices where each of the inner lead bond site is solderlessly bonded between conducting patterns on each device bonded. A series of double-device structures can be formed on a tape having a plurality of sets of beam lead patterns thereon. Each beam lead of each set having an inner and outer lead bond site, projects outwardly from between the double-device structure, the inner lead bond site being solderlessly bonded between conducting patterns on each device.
摘要:
A mapping system and method. The mapping system comprises an electromagnetic field generator, a layer of electromagnetic field absorbing material over an object, and an infrared camera. The electromagnetic field generator is adapted to generate an electromagnetic field and expose the electromagnetic field absorbing material and object to the electromagnetic field. The layer of electromagnetic field absorbing material is adapted to absorb the electromagnetic field and generate areas of thermal differences within the electromagnetic field absorbing material. The infrared camera is adapted to detect the areas of thermal differences.

Methods and apparatus are provided for presenting personalized information to consumers in a retail environment. A personalized price is determined for at least one product that is in physical proximity to the customer. The physical proximity may be determined, for example, by evaluating identifiers, such as RHD tags, associated with each customer and product. A personalized message can be also presented to a customer regarding at least one product that is in physical proximity to the customer. The personalized message can provide, for example, dietary or safety information relevant to the customer and at least one product in the proximity of the customer. The personalized information may be determined based on one or more personalized message rules.
摘要:
A pump monitoring and control system includes a plurality of pumps associated with a well, each of the plurality of pumps including one or more sensors associated therewith, and one or more communication devices linking each of the sensors with a well system controller. The well system controller is configured to process information received from the one or more sensors and control any of the plurality of pumps based on information received from one or more of the plurality of pumps.
