Smarter Freight Signals Powered by Roadside Sensing

Freight trucks are essential to regional economies, but they are also strongly affected by stop-and-go operations at signalized intersections. Compared with passenger vehicles, heavy trucks require more time and energy to decelerate, stop, and accelerate again. Repeated stops increase travel delay, fuel use, emissions, and uncertainty for freight operators. On strategic freight corridors,

Telescoping Car Back-up Camera

Rather than a one dimensional back up camera that cannot “see” perpendicular to the direction of the reversing car, why not have a telescoping three-lense camera that “sees” in three directions. When the car is put into reverse, the camera telescopes rearward and gives the driver a view from three directions. The videos could be “stitched”

TerrainSense: Probabilistic Radar Collision Warning for Unstructured Traffic

Conventional forward-collision-warning (FCW) systems are tuned for structured highways — clear lanes, predictable vehicles, good lighting. They degrade badly in unstructured traffic: unmarked roads, mixed streams of cars, motorcycles, pedestrians, and animals, often in poor light. Their detection pipelines assume a clean, well-modeled world and fail abruptly when that assumption breaks.

The Griffiths Electromagnetically-Governed Hydrogen Combustion Engine (H₂-EM Engine v2) A Plasma-Locked, Field-Gated, Predictively Governed Architecture for Safe, Stable Hydrogen Combustion

The H2‑EM Engine v2.0 is a hydrogen combustion architecture built around electromagnetic governance rather than mechanical containment. It is designed for heavy‑duty, industrial, off‑highway, and defence applications where hydrogen’s instability has historically made conventional engines unsafe or unreliable. The core idea is that hydrogen’s problems are kinetic, not thermodynamic,

TireCapture: Capturing Tire Pollution and the Toxin 6PPD-Quinone at the Source

For years, scientists were baffled by a deadly mystery. Every fall, after the first hard rains, coho salmon returning to spawn in streams across the Pacific Northwest would die within hours, often before they could lay a single egg. Entire runs were being wiped out, and no one knew why.

Traction-X®: The Integrated Drive and Suspension for Next-Generation Two-Wheelers

Traction-X® is a patent-protected wheel, drive and suspension architecture that solves a structural weakness in urban two-wheelers. It addresses a long-standing conflict in scooter design: Customers want a protected footwell, relaxed seating position and compact wheelbase, but these packaging requirements force small wheels and heavy powertrain swingarms. The result is reduced stability, tire grip,
