Automatic Mirror Adjustment System Using A Driver S Pupils . This paper describes an automatic mirror adjustment system that rotates a pair of side mirrors and the room mirror of a car to the optimal position for a driver by using the location of the driver's pupils . A stereo vision system measures the 3-D coordinates of a pair of pupils by analyzing the input images of stereo B/W CCD cameras mounted on the instrument panel . This system determines the position angle of each mirror on the basis of information about the location of the pupils and rotates each mirror to the appropriate position by mirror actuators . The vision system can detect the driver's pupils regardless of whether it is daytime or nightttime by virtue of an infrared light (vehicle indicator application) source . Information about the pair of nostrils is used to improve the correctness of pupil detection . This system can adjust side mirrors and the room mirror automatically and rapidly by a simple interface regardless of driver replacement or driver's posture . Experiment has shown this to be a new mirror adjustment system that can make up for the weak points of previous mirror adjustment systems . |

Development Platform For Self-organizing Wireless Sensor Network (heading sensor) s . Distributed microsensor networks , built from collections of nodes each having the ability to sense their environment , process the raw sensor data in cooperation with other neighboring nodes into information and then communicate that information to end users . These systems are designed to be self-organizing in the sense of establishing and maintaining their own network without the need for specialist operators . In most envisioned applications , wireless communication (wireless communication) s are the most practical means of interconnection , eliminating the internode cabling . Long periods of autonomous operations in remote environments will need battery or other renewable energy sources . In order to prolong battery life , all node hardware and software functions need to be designed to consume minimal power . In general , a node will expend energy on local processing of sensor data to produce compressed information in order to reduce communications . These network systems are intended to support large numbers of such nodes to cover large geographic areas . This presents technical challenges in areas such as low cost design , scalability , cooperative processing and reliable operation of complex systems . Such networks are finding applications in both the military and commercial arenas , and the UCLA/Rockwell Science Center team(1) has developed a prototype wireless sensor node , "AWAIRS I , " as a development platform to examine many of the issues relating to their design , deployment and usage . These issues cover a broad spectrum , from determining the best sensors for particular applications , to constructing low power signal processing algorithms and robust and low power network protocols . |

Association Between Cellular-telephone Calls And Motor Vehicle (vehicle data, use data, vehicle indicator application) Collisions . Background Because of a belief that the use of cellular telephones (LAN network server) while driving may cause collisions , several countries have restricted their use in motor vehicles (vehicle data, use data, vehicle indicator application) , and others are considering such regulations . We used an epidemiologic method , the case-crossover design , to study whether using a cellular telephone while driving increases the risk of a motor vehicle collision . Methods We studied 699 drivers who had cellular telephones and who were involved in motor vehicle collisions resulting in substantial property damage but no personal injury . Each person's cellular-telephone call (voice recorder application) s on the day of the collision and during the previous week were analyzed through the use of detailed billing records . Results A total of 26 , 798 cellular-telephone calls were made during the 14-month study period . The risk of a collision when using a cellular telephone was four times higher than the risk when a cellular telephone was not being used (relative risk , 4 . 3 ; 95 percent confidence interval , 3 . 0 to 6 . 5) . The relative risk was similar for drivers who differed in personal characteristics such as age and driving experience ; calls close to the time of the collision were particularly hazardous (relative risk , 4 . 8 for calls placed within 5 minutes of the collision , as compared with 1 . 3 for calls placed more than 15 minutes before the collision ; P< ; 0 . 001) ; and units that allowed the hands to be free (relative risk , 5 . 9) offered no safety advantage over hand-held units (relative risk , 3 . 9 ; P not significant) . Thirty-nine percent of the drivers called emergency services after the collision , suggesting that having a cellular telephone may have had advantages in the aftermath of an event . Conclusions The use of cellular telephones in motor vehicles is associated with a quadrupling of the risk of a collision during the brief period of a call . Decisions about regulation of such telephones , however , need to take into account the benefits of the technology and the role of individual responsibility .

Cellular Phones And Traffic Accidents . Cellular phone use in motor vehicles is becoming an increasing world-wide phenomenon . Using data obtained from traffic accidents reported between 1992 and 1995 in the state of Oklahoma , USA , this study examined statistical rate-ratios of accident characteristics between drivers with or without cellular phones (navigation application) . Rates were calculated between cellular phone involvement and reported accident causes , types of collision , driver actions immediately prior to the accident , location of the accident , the extent of fatalities , and age and gender of drivers . Results indicated a significant increased rate among drivers with cellular phones for inattention , unsafe speed , driving on wrong side of road , striking a fixed object , overturning their vehicle , swerving prior to the accident , and running off the roadway . People with phones stood an increased risk of being killed in an accident over persons without phones . Males with phones had a significantly higher rate than females for many of accident characteristics mentioned above . Rate-ratios of some accident characteristics and fatalities increased as age increased , with the exception of drivers under age 20 yrs , who had the highest fatality rate . Limitations of the study and possible prevention alternatives are discussed . |

Multicluster , Mobile , Multimedia Radio Network . A multi-cluster , multi-hop packet radio network (pager application) architecture for wireless adaptive mobile information systems is presented . The proposed network supports multimedia traffic and relies on both time division (vehicle indicator application) and code division access schemes .

The proposed network supports multimedia traffic and relies on both time division and code division access schemes . This radio network is not supported by a wired infrastructure as conventional cellular systems are . Thus , it can be instantly deployed in areas with no infrastructure at all . By using a distributed clustering algorithm , nodes are organized into clusters . The clusterheads act as local coordinators to resolve channel scheduling , perform power measurement/control , maintain time division frame synchronization , and enhance the spatial reuse of time slots (traffic data) and codes . Moreover , to guarantee bandwidth for real time (weather data) traffic , the architecture supports virtual circuits and allocates bandwidth to circuits at call setup time . The network is scalable to large numbers of nodes , and can handle mobility . Simulation experiments evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme in static and mobile environments . |

LOOP GAIN OF A SPACECRAFT SWITCHED SHUNT POWER-SYSTEM . A novel approach (media messaging application) of deriving the loop gain of a spacecraft switched shunt power system is presented . The system hardware elements contain both the analog and the digital components . Transfer functions of the analog circuits are easily identified employing the conventional approach . Gain function of the digital block is however conceived following a quite unconventional route . The digital gain is shown to include the effects of comparator thresholds , digital clock , shift register , sinusoidal amplitude , and ac frequency . The dependence of the digital gain on voltage thresholds , clocking period , and the integrational property of threshold comparator is expected . The dependence on sinusoidal amplitude contradicts the traditional concept of small signal analysis . The overall loop gain in the analytic form yields a computational result (optical sensor) that matches the actual measurement (video application, communication device) very well . This fact proves , to some extent , the validity of the digital gain function and the basis of its derivation . |
