Filed:

Aug 2, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/161391

Inventors:

QiLun Sun - Weston FL, US
Yu Li - Weston FL, US

International Classification:

G01C 21/34
G08G 1/00

US Classification:

701117000, 701210000, 340995130

Abstract:

This invention discloses a method for collecting and propagating traffic information for optimizing traffic content. Single-vehicle-traffic-data is collected and broadcasted to vehicles in the neighborhood; Neighborhood-traffic-data is generated by combining all the Single-vehicle-traffic-data received from neighboring vehicles; Said Neighborhood-traffic-data is then conditionally propagated to remote area by broadcasting and relaying through one or more participating vehicles, or through other wired/wireless network. Hereby each participating vehicle is able to get updated traffic information of a large area, and able to calculate the optimistic route.

US Classification:

523209, 525100

Abstract:

The invention relates to a modified nanoparticle including a nanoparticle and a diblock copolymer covalently attached to the nanoparticle, the diblock copolymer comprising a first block polymer of molecular weight greater than 1000 attached to the nanoparticle and a second block polymer of molecular weight greater than 1000 covalently linked to the first block polymer, wherein at least one of the first block polymer and second block polymer comprises repeating units having an azide, acetylene or triazole side chain. Nanocomposites incorporating modified nanoparticles, as well as methods of making modified nanoparticles and nanocomposites are also disclosed.
