US Patent:

20220309758, Sep 29, 2022

Filed:

Mar 29, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/215418

Inventors:

Yu Zhang - Monterey Park CA, US

International Classification:

G06T 19/20
G06T 13/20
G06F 3/14

Abstract:

A transparent display device that can be mounted to existing computer cases with a window. Once the device is connected, software guides users to align the inside edges of their case to create a 3D effect inside the case. The software allows users to add their custom components so that the 3D effects can interact with those components. An example would be animated waves will appear to splash against a graphics card instead of moving through it. The software will also have a store allowing users to find and download additional animation, 3D effects, music visualizers, and customize their machine by combining all these elements.

G01S 13/931

Abstract:

The disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and techniques for operating automotive MIMO radars in crowded multi-path environments to obtain reliable detections by linearly predicting whether a bistatic condition occurred. To avoid saturating computing resources processing bistatic detections, the described techniques enable a radar system to quickly identify and discard from the field-of-view radar detections that are likely a result of bistatic conditions. By ignoring unusable radar returns that are likely a result of bistatic conditions, an example radar system can focus on processing radar returns from static conditions, for example, in providing radar-based detections as output to an automotive system that is driving a vehicle in an autonomous or a semi-autonomous mode. In so doing, the example radar system provides a highly accurate static object detector that is sufficiently quick in detecting bistatic conditions for use in vehicle-safety systems as well as autonomous and semi-autonomous control.

Assignee:

University of Cincinnati - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:

C12P 7/10
C10L 1/02

Abstract:

A method for pretreating lignocellulosic biomass to improve fermentability is disclosed. The method involves reacting lignocellulosic biomass with an acidic mixture while heating at a temperature from about 120 C. to about 200 C. to produce a prehydrolysate mixture. The acidic mixture includes a dilute acid and nucleophilic proteins, hydrolyzed amino acids or combinations thereof.

Abstract:

This document describes techniques and systems of a radar system with paired one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) antenna arrays. Even with fewer antenna elements than a traditional radar system, the paired arrays enable an example radar system to have a comparable angular resolution at a lower cost. For example, the 1D array includes antenna elements positioned in a first direction (e.g., azimuth direction) and spaced by a first distance and a second distance. The 2D array includes at least four other antenna elements positioned in the first direction and a second direction (e.g., elevation direction). The other antenna elements are spaced by a third distance in the second direction and by the sum of the first direction and the second direction in the first direction. A processor can associate, using shared angle estimates, angles in the first direction and the second direction for respective objects.
