US Patent:

7658088, Feb 9, 2010

Filed:

Mar 3, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/368357

Inventors:

Stephen A. Walker - Irvine CA, US
Michael T. Whiting - Rancho Santa Margarita CA, US

Assignee:

Knight, LLC - Lake Forest CA

International Classification:

D06F 39/02

US Classification:

68 17R, 68207

Abstract:

A modular chemical delivery system is designed to be readily convertible from use with a warewashing system to use with a laundry system, or vice-versa, merely by the replacement of one chip in the controller of the system. The dispensing system is also readily expandable by adding additional satellite pumps in order to inject additional chemicals into a single washing unit, and/or to supply chemicals to additional washing units. Plug and play technology is used so that control intelligence can be distributed from the main system controller to satellite controllers, and so that additional satellite units may be readily added, identified, and properly integrated into the dispensing system.

International Classification:

G01S 13/86

US Classification:

342 52

Abstract:

A vehicular observation and detection apparatus and system includes a radar sensor, a camera, and circuitry for packaging radar data and a video signal together, inside a housing. Additional processors determine information contained within the radar data and video signal and perform data processing operations on the information to conduct traffic management and control.

Inventors:

- Santa Ana CA, US
MICHAEL T. WHITING - RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA CA, US

International Classification:

G01C 21/36
G06T 19/00

Abstract:

An augmented reality visualization framework for precision traffic analysis combines traffic data with content representative of physical-world characteristics, such as conditions in an intersection or roadway in which traffic activity occurs, and images of the intersection and roadway itself. The framework includes a visualization platform that enables display of the combined traffic data and content representing physical-world characteristics, and continual augmentations of such information in response to adjustments directed by users or automatically detected from actions such as user movement, other user manipulation, or movement of the visualization platform itself. The framework enables traffic applications such that a user can, when the platform is interfaced with intersection or roadway equipment, adjust machine activity or signal timing based upon the visualizations or data presented via the visualization platform. The visualization platform may also be configured to present the traffic data, and the content representative of physical-world characteristics, in a virtual reality setting.

International Classification:

G08G 1/015
G06T 7/20
H04N 7/18
G06K 9/00

Abstract:

A vehicular observation and detection apparatus and system incorporates a detection framework using video analysis to differentiate between motorized vehicles and bicycles for improved traffic flow and safety at intersections. The detection framework creates virtual zones overlaid on lanes of a roadway and analyzes input data representing objects in the virtual zones collected from one or more cameras positioned at or near the roadway.

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

348149, 382103

Abstract:

A traffic management apparatus and system performs data processing functions on images in a video data stream to analyze differences between portions of the images and account for movement of a camera at a traffic intersection or other such environment. The traffic management apparatus and system is configured to be placed on a span wire or other non-fixed position at or near the traffic intersection.
