  • Patent number: 9994125
    Abstract: Embodiments include a vehicle comprising a seat, a first sensor coupled to the seat for detecting a seat angle, and a processor communicatively coupled to the first sensor and the seat, and configured to output a control signal for correcting the seat angle if the seat angle is not within a predetermined range of values. Embodiments also include a method of correcting a position of a vehicle seat having an occupant seated therein. The method comprises receiving, at a processor, an output detected by a sensor unit coupled to the seat; comparing, using the processor, the output to a predetermined threshold to determine whether an alarm condition exists; if it does, outputting a control signal for correcting the seat position, wherein the sensor unit includes an angular position sensor.

  • Publication number: 20150112682
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for verifying the identity of a speaker based on the speaker's voice comprising the steps of: a) receiving a voice utterance; b) using biometric voice data to verify that the speakers voice corresponds to the speaker the identity of which is to be verified based on the received voice utterance; and c) verifying that the received voice utterance is not falsified, preferably after having verified the speakers voice; d) accepting the speaker's identity to be verified in case that both verification steps give a positive result and not accepting the speaker's identity to be verified if any of the verification steps give a negative result. The invention further refers to a corresponding computer readable medium and a computer.

  • Patent number: 6851957
    Abstract: An all-in-one network communication cable and security cable apparatus for securing computing devices is provided. The all-in-one cable combines the security aspects of a steel or other cut-proof cable with a network communication cable and provides a locking mechanism that only permits the authorized user to disconnect the all-in-one cable from the computing device and the structure mounted network communication connection jack. In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a standard RJ45 Ethernet Cable is provided with a cut-proof casing and a slidable locking sheath that is capable of being slid under the depressible lever of the RJ45 connector. This locking mechanism includes a lock that may be set by the user so that the locking mechanism is not removable without the proper key or combination. The slidable locking sheath, when engaged, does not allow the lever of the RJ45 connector to be depressed.
