The American corporation Garmin this year announced a revolutionary device, which was expected by almost the entire automotive community of the world - a navigation bluetooth device. Garmin Head-Up Display (HUD), which displays navigation paths on your windshield.
Sounds very tempting, doesn't it, but let's figure out how it all works, and how routes will be compiled and displayed on the glass. We can offer you delivery on the day of ordering, and completely free of charge - a really worthwhile offer!
Advantages of the device
 |  |
Simple navigation without unnecessary details |
|
In our time, car navigators are firmly entrenched in the lives of motorists, they coordinate the trip, warn of traffic jams, and can also act as a registrar or media player. Garmin, in addition to standard navigators, decided to please its fans with a different solution - simple, minimalistic and very fashionable - the Head-Up Display model, which does not take up much space on the dashboard (which cannot be said about ordinary navigators). The principle of operation of this device is simple - it connects via bluetooth to your mobile phone based on iOS, on which you must first install special program, and takes route data from it. Then it displays them on the windshield, on which it is necessary to glue a special film (it is on it that information will be displayed). Everything is simple, agree. Be careful that at present (before the release new firmware) the device only works with Apple devices- check with the operators for details. |
|
Timely traffic alerts |
|
The program for the mobile phone itself is quite high quality, and in addition to the standard navigation functions it will offer tracking traffic jams, as well as speed limits - that's why you will have the most up-to-date traffic information right on the car window. In addition to visual coordination, the device will also notify with sound signals, as well as with voice, the volume of these notifications, of course, can be adjusted. The Garmin Head-Up Display (HUD) navigation system has a few more "chips", so it will suggest you change lanes based on your route and traffic jams. In addition, the navigator will warn you about police radars, and if you exceed the speed limit, and all the information displayed will be perfectly visible on the glass, both in bright daylight and late at night. |

Description: Wireless display for cars. Hudly Wireless Head-Up Display
Hudly introduced the eponymous head-up display (HUD) with wireless connection to a smartphone. For years, HUDs have been used in fighter jets to safely navigate the skies, and now they're available to cars. The new development is compatible with almost all cars that have a car cigarette lighter. The device provides access to applications on the phone, as well as safe viewing of maps, notifications, calls, etc. Excellent visibility of the road and at the same time, for example, navigation significantly increases safety. While on the road, we do not have to be distracted by the phone - all information is available on the display of the device.
To get started with the Hudly Wireless car display, it takes a few minutes to connect it. Necessary accessories are included. In addition, the power cable is supplemented USB - port for charging gadgets on the go. Installation does not require special tools. It is enough to connect the device to the cigarette lighter and fix it on the panel, adjusting the position for better visibility.
To connect to a smartphone Hudly uses standards wireless transmission Miracast and Airplay, which is very convenient. The screen of the phone is broadcast on a projected 6.2-inch display without delay in high definition - 800 x 480p resolution. The gadget has a good viewing angle - 30˚ on the driver side and the same on the passenger side. Due to the built-in light sensor, the brightness is adjusted automatically. You can adjust it, as well as the speaker volume, manually using the buttons on the device. The picture is clearly visible both in sunny weather and at night. The display, unlike the phone, does not distract the driver from the road, as it is in the same focus with it. It seems that we are looking through the screen, and the information on it just floats in the air in front of the car. This effect is achieved through a special display coating. Note that when the driver does not need the Hudly Wireless Head-Up Display, passengers can use it for entertainment: watching movies, shows or listening to music.
The Hudly team offers a companion mobile app that brings together the essential driving apps and has a handy dashboard for fast switching between them. The program includes access to the navigator Hudly Nav, vehicle health monitor (requires Bluetooth OBD2 sensor), speedometer, music (including Google services Music, Spotify and Pandora) and notifications. The control panel in the application is easy to customize. The program also provides personal voice assistant Hudly Assistant to manage your phone and Hudly.

Due to the fact that the HUD (head-up-display) technology, in Russian it is an indicator on the windshield (HUD), is becoming more and more popular, I decided to make a post about this, because there are options for us;)
Yes, comrades, my first post is a post about one technically perfect, as far as it is possible today, nishtyak, namely Head-up-display, Head-up display. In Russian, it will be like an indicator on the windshield (ILS). This is a projection of an image on glass, the development itself is not new, it began to be actively used first in aviation in the last century from the 50s, primarily on military aircraft, so as not to overload the pilot with info, all the necessary and priority information was displayed on this very display. Gradually, this feature was transferred to civil aviation, and in the 21st century Lately we increasingly began to see this feature on cars, especially BMWs love this device.
Why am I writing all this, but to the fact that starting from December of this year and until the summer of 2014, at least THREE of these steering and unique devices for us motorcyclists will appear on the market! We can also acquire such a feature.
Today there are at least three projects, one is domestic, in Russia, this is the helmet itself, the other two are gadgets for the helmet itself, for example, an intercom or a camera. These two gadgets should fit almost any helmet. One of them is from England, the other from the USA.
And I'll start of course with the helmet! =) This is how it will look
The manufacturer of LLC Art Business, residents of Skolkovo, who received a grant for the development of this unit, in our traffic police considered the thing necessary, with which I agree in other respects, because there can be more than 100 calls per day, and not everyone knows where to go.
I must say right away that this helmet will first hit the North American markets in 2014, its cost there is equal to 2000 evergreen presidents. They are already taking pre-orders. In Europe and Russia, the plan is 2015, this is due to the optimization of the helmet software for our needs.
Well, now about the helmet. It will be completely made of carbon fiber and stuffed with various electronics.
The helmet will have a built-in battery, which is designed for 8 hours of operation. It will provide the speakers, microphone, projector, motherboard, GPS and Internet, LTE standard. This is what it looks like on the 3D model
As follows from the description, this helmet will be a faithful assistant both in the city and beyond, thanks to the Internet, it will lay the most profitable route in order to avoid traffic jams and various road sections where repairs are underway. It will also show speed, rpm, time and of course battery charge. This is how the "monitor" in this helmet will look like.
As for the picture, all these projectors are designed in such a way that there is no need to shift the focus from the road to the picture and back, the beams of light are directed to infinity, so it is always displayed as if it is always in front of you.
Also, this helmet is controlled entirely by voice commands. On this moment this is only English, because in 2014 it will appear in North America, Australia and Britain. In short, the Anglo-Saxons will be the first to test this device.
Here's the video, if anyone's interested.
In general, it is very similar in functionality to the helmet of military pilots
Now I will talk about two other devices. These are not helmets, these are "regular" mini projectors that are applicable to almost any helmet.
The first one is from the English company Motorcycle Information Development Technologies.
The name of this device is Bike HUD. Its essence is the same as that of a helmet, only the technology is designed for peripheral vision. This is not the case with a helmet, like with pilots, you look somewhere at a car or a sign, and it seems that various icons are drawn on it, such as speed, route, and so on. For Bike HUD, this is not entirely true, it is displayed somewhere on the left, BUT peripheral vision picks up this information, you don’t need to look away, everything will be visible anyway. With it, you can see the time on the track, which gear is currently in, how many liters are in the tank and how long it will last, and can even calculate the distance to the next gas station. The Russian helmet does not have such features, at least no one has written or talked about them. In addition to this, it will be possible to connect a navigator, a player and a smartphone to the Bike HUD, all the information that will be on these devices will also be displayed on this display.
This gadget can be installed on almost any helmet and motorcycle, even on the so-called "open" helmets it can be installed. This is what it looks like on a motorcycle.
And this is how it looks on the "open" helmet.
The novelty will be the first to enter the market, that is, it will be possible to buy it from December, its price will be exactly 470 euros and it will be presented for the first time at the British Motorcycle Live show, which will be held from November 23 to December 1.
Here is a video on the sim gadget.
Now I will move on to the most sophisticated device from this trio, namely the nishtyak from NUVIZ.
This device will be a module that can be mounted on the chinbar of any closed helmet. As you can see, "open" helmets will not be supported. The device will be able to communicate with a smartphone when Bluetooth assistance 4.0 - this will provide navigation data, weather information, as well as duplication of information from the motorcycle dashboard. The developers also promise that the device will be able to provide voice communication and music playback, as well as the fact that it will have a built-in video camera with an image quality of 1080 pixels and a matrix of 8 megapixels ...
Photo with a helmet
This is how information will be displayed
As you can see from the last photo, this device will be able not only to show speed and speed, and gear, but also altitude, compass direction, recording time and much more (the lap time on the track will also be;)) The manufacturer also assures that this gadget will be able to route not only through traffic jams and repair work on the road or in its vicinity, if it is relevant to traffic, but also through the weather, that is, if a thunderstorm front is approaching and it is on the path of the bike, then this The gadget will calculate the route so that the biker and the bike do not get wet. And if you still can’t escape or you want to ride in the rain, then you don’t have to worry about the gadget, it is waterproof.
Built-in memory in this device 8 GB + can be expanded. Inside the device there will be an ARM architecture processor with 4 cores, a clock frequency of 1.2 GHz, an operating time of 3-4 hours, +, judging by the description, the kit should include a spare battery, which can replace the exhausted first one during long trips. Sales will begin in the summer, now only the creation of prototypes that will be tested all winter and spring, and in the summer of 2014 they will appear on the shelves. The price of these devices is still a secret, but I believe that it will be somewhere in the region of 1000 forever green.
A little about the NUVIZ company itself, so that you would realize that it is a pro in this matter. The firm itself is relatively young, but its founders are not young at all. NUVIZ was formed as a joint venture between HoloEye System Inc. of San Diego and APX Labs LLC., of Washington State. Both firms specialize in the development of HUD technologies for the industrial, defense and aerospace industries. And so it was decided to jointly develop the motorcycle accessories market. With what I congratulate them! =)
Unfortunately, there is no video yet, I can insert two more photos.
So the third device can immediately replace the navigator, the intercom, and the player, all you need is a smartphone.
PS
But Google voice cannot be used either in a car or while riding a motorcycle. For there it is necessary to shift the focus from the road to the picture, which in turn is dangerous.
PPS
After reading the comments, I noticed that another helmet with HUD technology flickers. The name of this helmet is Skully P-1.
This helmet is made in the USA, at the moment it has passed tests according to American DOT and European ECE standards, that is, there are already certificates. Now the helmet is undergoing beta testing, which, by the way, you can sign up for, if you speak English, then find Skully Helmets through Google and register for beta testing, you need to have a bike. The helmet is planned to be put up for sale in 2014, most likely in the spring. The price of the Skully P-1 has not yet been determined.
And now about its features. Scully is also stuffed like the gadget from NUVIZ, all functions are almost the same (calls, music, GPS, speed, rpm, temperature, etc.), both have cameras, only Scully has this camera on the back, that is, the need to turn around is practically eliminated, as and mirrors, video will most likely not be recorded, as it is with NUVIZ, and Scully will not be able to create routes around bad weather.
In it, in addition to the camera, the camera's viewing angle is 180 degrees, there is also Bluetooth, the version is not indicated, I hope that 4.0, in order to connect a smartphone and use a navigator, listen to music, call and watch the weather. You don’t need to press anything, it has full voice control, in general, they went along the path of Russian development. This device will be made on a three-D printer, so that it would be better to sit on your head. That's basically all about this helmet. Below is a photo and video of this helmet.
The protruding part in front of the right eye, this is the projector

View through the eyes of a biker
video on it
Found information on the price of Scully, in the USA this helmet will cost 1000 forever green
I also found info on the price of the system from NUVIZ, it will cost 599 forever green =) and as I was assured in this company, they will try to make this device look good on all visors, not only on transparent ones, but also on darkened, and "golden" =)
Head-up-display (HUD) technology came to the world of cars from the aircraft industry. In modern and not so fighters, it began to be used in the distant 70s of the last century. Then the image about the current situation, the location of enemy assets, sights fell on the pilot's viewing glass with the help of powerful electron beam emitters. This was unsafe due to the high electromagnetic radiation from the projector, the presence of soft x-rays.
Literally translated from English, Head-up-display technology means a monitor with a raised head. They tried to attach such means to create a picture on the driver's windshield back in the last century. For this, automotive glass manufacturers even sprayed translucent reflective films on the bottom of the windshield specifically on the windshields of prestigious cars. Such films can contrastly reflect an inverted image from an illuminated liquid crystal display or digital LED matrix. In the last century, pictoramas of control bulbs were highlighted there.

Now anyone can try Head-up-display technology. To do this, just download one of the many mobile applications to your smartphone and drive your car in the evening.
Video - how the head-up display on the windshield of the car works:
Projection on the windshield using a smartphone
How does the simplest image projector on the windshield work?
In order to try out the work of a smartphone as a Head-up-display, you can simply put a working smartphone on the panel near the bottom of the windshield. Even during the day, glare reflections will be present.
One problem: the image will be in mirror image. There are applications that allow you to display the speed of the car in mirror image to show the vehicle speed information in normal view on the windshield.
Such applications may display information about the approach of speed control points or other information according to the proposed menu.
There are very simplified, but effective applications based on Google maps, for example, shown in the figure:
Without unnecessary information, but it is difficult to stray from the right path in the dark.
What are the main disadvantages of such a smartphone application?
Firstly, the ability to use only at night. The luminosity of the smartphone screen is not enough to exceed the level of light outside the windshield. This is the basic principle of sufficient visibility of the image reflected from the smartphone.
Second, enough important factor: overheating of the smartphone, especially in the cold season, as it is located in the windshield heating zone. To prevent this negative factor, special rugs were invented.
Such rugs make the design unstable, the image “rolls” on the windshield, especially when cornering.
There is another drawback. It is associated with a design feature of the windshield, namely, its layering. The reflected image will also be layered. Even if the refractive indices of light for different layers of glass ideally match, the reflection will come from two transitions of the media: internal and external.
Not a very pleasant effect. The same shortcomings exist in the proposed additional equipment for HUD systems.
Optional Head-up-display (HUD) devices
These devices are designed specifically for displaying information by projecting onto the windshield. Depending on the type and amount of information, the use of communication with onboard systems car, these devices have a different cost.
Video - about the projector on the windshield Head up display ASH-4E:
For example, HUD CRX-3001 projects the speed of the car on the screen, connects to the on-board devices of the vehicle. You can set the maximum speed. When the speed is exceeded, the device gives a sound signal, a light message.
HUD CRX-3002 can project messages about tachometer readings, voltage onboard network, engine temperature, state of lighting equipment, sound signals of control modes of exceeding parameters.
HUD CRX-3003 is powered by the cigarette lighter. It is used for cars under warranty, as it does not require a physical connection to on-board devices.
View of the HUD CRX-3002 readings on the windshield.
The cost of HUD-devices starts from 3500 rubles.
The use of projection displays on the windshield in the standard version of cars
Some automakers install HUDs in various production vehicle variants. Now Citroen and BMW 5 and 6 series provide such an option. Perhaps other manufacturers will follow after some time.
The main disadvantages of such regular systems are:
- insufficient image quality;
- "doubling" of the picture;
- duplication of information, for example, speed, which is already presented on a beautiful speedometer;
- obstruction of the windshield viewing area, necessary for prompt response to traffic conditions;
- penetration reduction light signal through windshield areas where a special translucent film is applied to increase the contrast of the HUD image.
Video - how the head-up display on the windshield works in BMW cars:
Prospects for the development of HUD technologies
HUD devices continue and will continue to be developed to equip special vehicles in which the driver must monitor numerous information without interrupting the view of the traffic situation. These vehicles include:
- racing cars;
- special equipment (harvesting vehicles, agricultural and construction equipment);
- military vehicles.
Most likely, the use of Head-up-display in light vehicles will evolve in terms of their use in conjunction with other additional devices.
Car navigation using HUD is a “display for viewing without turning your head”, it would seem that for a long time this idea has been asking for large masses just like a registrar and navigator, but somehow this method of providing information to the driver is not particularly visible. Look here...
When using car gauges and displays, there is always the following problem: on the one hand, the driver should look away from the road as little as possible for safety reasons, on the other hand, if you do not look at the gauges at all, you can miss warning information, such as low oil pressure and etc. There are ways to solve this problem, such as filing sound signals, the placement of devices is always in sight, but the most advanced method today is the display of information on the windshield (head up display or HUD).
This technology was originally used in aviation, when designers were faced with the need to place up to 100 warning indicators in the cockpit of a fighter.
For example, Garmin has released a gadget that projects commands for driving a car onto the windshield, receiving data from a navigator program in a smartphone, according to the company's official blog. HUD technology implemented in the new Garmin portable projector
A Garmin portable projector mounts on the front of a car and projects an image onto a transparent film taped to the windshield. You can also use reflective lenses mounted on the windshield. The output information is obtained from a Bluetooth-connected smartphone running the Garmin StreetPilot or NAVIGON navigation software.
The HUD gadget is compatible with iPhone smartphones, Android and Windows phone 8. Listed price is $129.99.
Since navigation information is displayed directly in the driver's field of vision, the Garmin gadget was called the "Head-up Display" (HUD) - "a display for viewing without turning your head." “Until now, such systems were installed only in some brands of executive cars. Garmin is bringing technology to the consumer market,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of sales.
The screen displays information about the permissible directions of movement, the distance to the next turn to the target, the current speed and its limit, the time of the expected arrival.
Tips are also given about the width of the road after the turn, warnings about exceeding the speed limit. The HUD gadget can also report possible traffic delays due to traffic jams, as well as approaching the location of security cameras.
The brightness of the output image is automatically adjusted according to the ambient light. This allows you to get a clearly visible picture in bright sunlight and at night. Accompanying voice comments are played through the smartphone's speakers or the on-board stereo system. The gadget does not interrupt work when phone calls are received on the smartphone, which are processed in hands-free mode.
But back in 2012, the German company MicroVision, a developer of laser projectors, signed a contract with a Japanese corporation, which allowed the use of head-up technology (Head-up display, HUD), represented by the German manufacturer's PicoP product, in the automotive market. Pioneer now says it is the first manufacturer of navigation devices in history to use this technology. In Japan, a futuristic "head-on navigator" appeared as early as 2012. The price for it was at least $500.
Masanori Kurosaki, Head of Automotive Electronics at Pioneer, emphasized the importance of the deal between the Japanese corporation and the German firm in a press release: “We are pleased to note that we have been able to formalize our cooperation with MicroVision to manufacture, distribute and market PicoP green laser technology. ".
The screen of the new navigator is a transparent plastic sheet that is placed on the windshield opposite the driver and displays information from the GPS device. Now you can follow satellite map without taking a break from driving. For safety reasons, the system is made as easy to use as possible. Only the most necessary information gets on the transparent monitor. For its projection, the device uses a high-contrast green laser. Engineers promise that the image obtained with its help can be seen day and night.
Currently, methods are being developed to determine exactly where the driver’s gaze is directed at each moment of time, and to project necessary information using the HUD to exactly that point on the windshield. The method involves the use of a portable video camera and a laser. The laser beam reflects off the cornea of the driver's eye, which makes it possible to determine exactly where the driver is looking. Probably, the driver's eye movement detector will be used to determine whether the driver is napping. When deviations are detected, an alarm signal will be given, sound or light.
Promising means of displaying information. With the continued computerization of all automotive systems, more and more functions are becoming available. Already today it is possible to regulate the flow of information to the driver, i.e., on the same display, display various data that the driver needs at this particular time. What kind of information the driver needs in this situation is determined by the computer software, but the driver can call the data blocks he needs on the display and independently. For example, if the coolant temperature is normal, there is no need to display readings, unless the driver himself wants to do this. If the display shows the distance that the car can travel with the available fuel, there is no need to show the amount of fuel in the tank, etc.
The computer can, if necessary, interrupt the normal process of outputting information and generate a warning message on the display such as: "only 50 km of fuel left" or "pressure in the left rear tire has dropped." The use of speech synthesizer programs makes it possible to make such messages by voice, and the driver, when configuring the system, can set the desired voice parameters: male or female, high or low, etc. Simpler sound signals are also used to attract the driver's attention.
Here is another option
A holographic image is a three-dimensional representation of a real object, using laser emitters - projectors and a suitable screen. Currently, research and development of equipment is being carried out in order to improve the safety of driving at night. One of the options is as follows: information is taken from infrared video cameras, processed, a holographic image is projected onto the windshield in front of the driver. By using this kind of night vision device, driving at night is simplified.
But, as it turned out, the electronics in the car not only helps, but also interferes. Studies conducted in a group of drivers over the age of 60 have shown that using an electronic map greatly distracts the driver from the road. The reaction of an elderly driver who is forced to be distracted by telematics while driving is reduced by 30-100 percent compared to his 18-30-year-old colleagues.
At the moment, the distribution of such a display system is minimal, but by 2020 the percentage of cars equipped with a HUD could grow to 9 percent. At the moment, the development of such a system, like most innovative solutions, is hindered only by the high cost of execution. Although it seems to me that the price has already come close to the cost of popular DVRs and navigators.
Does anyone already use this type of device? Share your experience...
And we will wait for the technology to rush further and we will observe all this information directly on the windshield without additional devices in an interactive mode.
Below we provide an example of already working navigation using the HUD projector.
Pioneer SPX-HUD01 Head-up display NavGate HUD
Projector Pioneer NavGate SPX-HUD01 is a completely new look at modern car navigation, a revolutionary step in the development of navigation devices for cars. After the appearance of projectors of this type on the modern electronics market (Garmin also released a similar device before Pioneer), car navigation entered a new stage of development, becoming much more convenient and functional. It is assumed that motorists who are accustomed to using the maximum capabilities of modern technology and prefer the most advanced and innovative devices will want to order and buy such a gadget in their car.
Projector NavGate SPX-HUD01- it's innovative electronic device from the Japanese company Pioneer, used for car navigation using a smartphone. The abbreviation HUD in the name of this electronic gadget stands for "head-up display".
This unit is equipped with a unique DLP projector that is attached to the sun visor located above the driver's seat. This projector projects up-to-date information about the movement of the car, as well as its route, onto a virtual 30-inch screen located in front of the windshield of the car, three meters from it, slightly above the horizon line. The use of this electronic device allows the driver to control the location of his car, as well as follow the route without being distracted from the road. This solution makes car navigation more convenient and safe and allows the driver to constantly monitor the situation on the road, learn about nearby sights, plot a route and use all other features of modern car navigation. In addition, the virtual display provides current time data, traffic light warnings, information about the current speed of the car, its restrictions on this section of the route, the distance to the final destination, as well as the estimated time of arrival.
Use in this device A DLP projector that delivers high-contrast images with rich, deep colors on a virtual 30-inch display eliminates the need for the driver to further focus their eyes. Thanks to this, the driver's eyes get less tired while driving, and he himself gets rid of the need to disperse his attention between observing the road and controlling the traffic situation on the autonavigator display. All relevant information is displayed on the Pioneer NavGate HUD projector in a clear, concise manner, it is carefully selected and made as useful as possible in terms of its functionality so as not to distract the driver from the driving process. clear and simple instructions, received by the driver from the navigator, make road junctions more understandable and simplify the process of orienting on the roads.
Overhead display technology was originally developed for use in the aviation industry. After improvement and modernization, this technology was adapted for its application in modern road transport. This technology very promising, since its use allows you to display in high resolution useful information for the driver, directly in his field of vision, which gives him the opportunity to control the route without taking his eyes off the road.
The device is convenient to use at any time of the day: thanks to the use of special light sensors in it, the brightness of the projected image is automatically adjusted according to the time of day, as well as weather conditions.
The NavGate HUD works in conjunction with a smartphone, which must have the compatible CoPilot mobile app pre-installed. This application is characterized by a wide range of functions: support voice control, the presence of detailed navigation with directions, the possibility of detailed route planning, as well as storing detailed road maps of the city in memory for using them offline, etc.
NavGate HUD is used in conjunction with a mobile iPhone fourth-fifth generation, as well as with smartphones that operate on operating system android. This electronic device is compatible with the iPhone app iGO Primo, a powerful navigation application that supports 3D voice navigation, including location search, turn-by-turn directions, realistic road junctions, green routes and other convenient features. It can also work with mobile application CoPilot , which the user needs to purchase and install on their smartphone , activating the HUD function after purchase . This application via a smartphone speaker or a Bluetooth-enabled car radio installed in the passenger compartment, it plays voice prompts in which direction to turn at intersections. If through car speakers or mobile device music is playing, it will be automatically muted before the voice prompts are heard. In addition, the operation of the projection display and the smartphone in conjunction is built in such a way that the work of the navigator does not stop even during the user's phone calls: the Pioneer NavGate SPX-HUD01 projector continues to give clear directions regarding the route of movement during a phone call.
This projector is housed in a stylish, ergonomically shaped housing that blends harmoniously into the interior design of any modern car. In front of the body is an optical screen made of high-quality polycarbonate, a translucent glass used to create a virtual thirty-inch display in front of the windshield of the car. On the case there is a power connector designed to recharge the device, as well as a USB port used to connect a smartphone to the projector. Also on the projector body there is a slot for a Micro SD card used to record updates software devices.b
