    Abstract: A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mounting structure, a mirror reflective element, a mirror back plate, a heater element, and a blind zone indication module. The heater element is disposed between the mirror back plate and the mirror reflective element. The blind zone indication module includes a diffuser and a housing that houses a circuit element and a light source. The circuit element includes electrically conductive terminals that are in electrical connection with circuitry of the circuit element and that are disposed at a connector portion of the housing that is configured to connect to a wire harness to electrically power circuitry of the circuit element when the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly is mounted at a vehicle and used. The blind zone indication module is associated with a blind spot detection system of the vehicle at which the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly is mounted.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a structure evaluation system according to an embodiment includes a plurality of sensors, a vehicle number estimator, and an evaluator. The plurality of sensors detect elastic waves generated inside a structure. The vehicle number estimator estimates the number of vehicles passing through the structure on the basis of a plurality of elastic waves detected by each of the plurality of sensors. The evaluator evaluates a state of deterioration of the structure using vehicle information relating to the number of vehicles estimated by the vehicle number estimator.

    Abstract: A method for landing an aircraft, which takes off and lands vertically, at a predetermined landing site defined by a circular marking that can be captured optically and has a circular outer contour utilizes a landing system. A camera arranged on the aircraft and directed to the landing site is used to capture images electronically, each of which represents a reproduction of the marking detected at least in sections. Each camera image is evaluated in a control device. The control device is used to fit a geometric object with at least one straight line, which has a predetermined line slope in relation to the camera image, into the reproduction in such a way that the line constitutes a tangent through a contact point to the marking detected at least in sections. The control device steers the aircraft in the direction of the contact point determined in this way.

    Abstract: An aerial vehicle is configured to calculate ranges to objects around the aerial vehicle when operating within indoor spaces, using a LIDAR sensor or another range sensor. The aerial vehicle calculates ranges within a plurality of sectors around the aerial vehicle and identifies a minimum distance measurement for each of the sectors. Sets of adjacent sectors having distance measurements above a threshold are identified, and bearings and minimum distance measurements of the sets of adjacent sectors are determined. When the aerial vehicle detects an object within a flight path, the aerial vehicle selects one of the sets of adjacent sectors based on the minimum distance measurements and executes a braking maneuver in a direction of the selected one of the sets of adjacent sectors.

    Abstract: An aerial vehicle is provided. The aerial vehicle can include a plurality of sensors mounted thereon, an avionics system configured to operate at least a portion of the aerial vehicle, and a machine vision controller in operative communication with the avionics system and the plurality of sensors. The machine vision controller is configured to perform a method. The method includes obtaining sensor data from at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors, determining performance data from the avionic system or an additional sensor of the plurality of sensors, processing the sensor data based on the performance data to compensate for movement of the unmanned aerial vehicle, identifying at least one geographic indicator based on processing the sensor data, and determining a geographic location of the aerial vehicle based on the at least one geographic indicator.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a vehicular electronic device and an operation method thereof. The device includes a processor configured to acquire data of a situation of a vehicle, to determine whether the vehicle is a platooning vehicle based on the data, and to determine any one of vehicles in the group as a representative vehicle that transmits a basic safety message (BSM) as a representative of the group upon determining that the vehicle is the platooning vehicle. Data generated by the vehicular electronic device is transmitted to an external device using a 5G communication method. According to the present disclosure, an electronic device of an autonomous vehicle is associated or fuses with a device related to an artificial intelligence module, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, a 5G service, or the like.
