    Abstract: Systems, assemblies, and methods for detecting changes in polarization states are described. Example systems may include a light receiving unit including a sensor and a receiving polarizer. The sensor is configured to sense light from a polarized light source deflected through the receiving polarizer by a light directing article. The sensor is configured to generate a signal indicative a received polarization state of light deflected by the light directing articles. Such systems may be coupled to vehicles and may be useful for sensor-detectable signs, indicia, and markings to facilitate automated or assisted vehicular transport.

    Abstract: A fluid control film is provided that includes fluid control channels extending along a channel longitudinal axis. Each of the fluid control channels has a surface and is configured to allow capillary movement of liquid in the channels. The fluid control film further includes a hydrophilic surface treatment covalently bonded to at least a portion of the surface of the fluid control channels. The fluid control film exhibits a capillary rise percent recovery of at least ten percent. Typically, the hydrophilic surface treatment includes functional groups selected from a non-zwitterionic sulfonate, a non-zwitterionic carboxylate, a zwitterionic sulfonate, a zwitterionic carboxylate, a zwitterionic phosphate, a zwitterionic phosphonic acid, and/or a zwitterionic phosphonate. A process for forming a fluid control film is also provided. Further, a process for cleaning a structured surface is provided, including providing a structured surface and a hydrophilic surface treatment covalently bonded to at least a portion of the structured surface, and soiling the structured surface with a material. The process also includes removing the material by at least one of submerging the structured surface in an aqueous fluid, rinsing the structured surface with an aqueous fluid, condensing an aqueous fluid on the structure surface, or wiping the structured surface with a cleaning implement.

    Abstract: White pavement marking (100) being readily apparent to both the human driver and sensors on a vehicle in both the daytime and night time. The pavement marking comprises a nonporous binder layer (110) comprising a titanium dioxide-coated synthetic mica pearlescent pigment and retroreflective elements (120) distributed on at least a portion of the nonporous binder layer.

    Abstract: A pathway article that includes a radar reflective structure with a large radar cross section (RCS) in a compact planar structure. The radar reflective structure may include a plurality of elements that act as antennae and may be spaced appropriately on a planar surface creating a radar reflecting surface. The antenna may be a reflecting surface of a stepped triangular slot. Selecting the spacing between the antennae may cause constructive interference and reflection substantially opposite the direction of the incident radar radiation. Pathway articles may also include at least one additional feature that may be detected by other sensors. Examples of other features include retroreflective features detectable by the human eye, visible camera and similar sensors. This redundancy in the detectable features of the pathway article may enable use of sensor fusion to provide greater confidence of detection of the pathway article under a wide range of conditions.

The radar reflective structure may include a plurality of elements that act as antennae and may be spaced appropriately on a planar surface creating a radar reflecting surface. The antennae may be slots in a conductive sheet, or conductive strips. Selecting the spacing between the antennae may cause constructive interference and reflection substantially opposite the direction of the incident radar radiation. Pathway articles may also include at least one additional feature that may be detected by other sensors. Examples of other features include retroreflective features detectable by the human eye, visible camera and similar sensors.
