ABSTRACT: Autonomous vehicles lack a standardized mechanism for seamless cross-platform sharing of testing frameworks and evaluations of basic tasks. The ability to execute common tests on various hardware platforms is essential in order to be able to e

Electronic waste (e-waste) is the fastest growing municipal waste stream in America. Significant amounts of e-waste are actually not waste, but rather components recoverable for reuse, resale or recycled for their precious metals. In 2010, 3,320,000 tons of e-waste were generated (per “Municipal Solid Waste Generation, Recycling and Disposal in the United States; Tables and Figures for 2012,” ...

A tab or label for shipping containers containing four proximity sensors will be developed which will detect and record the time and a signature of visitors. The thin-film sensors are on surface of a flexible strip (30 cm x 3 cm) which is affixed to the container side. The four sensors are passive infrared (PIR), E-field, capacitance and RF/microwave which can detect the presence of people in the ...
