Abstract: The disclosure provides for a system. The system may include a rotational control system configured to rotate a seat of a vehicle, and one or more computing devices. The one or more computing devices may have one or more processors that are configured to determine that an impact is imminent at a location on the vehicle along a collision axis. A most favorable orientation may be determined by the one or more processors based on the determined location and collision axis. Using the rotational control system, the one or more processors may rotate the seat of the vehicle to the most favorable orientation in order to reduce risks of serious injury to a passenger in the seat caused by the imminent impact. A translational control system may be used by the one or more processors to translate the seat of the vehicle to a position relative to the determined location.

Abstract: Centralized artifacts systems and methods for processing artifacts of distributed entities are disclosed. The centralized artifacts system receives a set of artifact-input data associated with the artifacts of the distributed entities. An artifact suggestions generator can generate artifact hierarchies using the artifact-input data. Artifact hierarchies can include categorical containers, tile elements, artifact fields, and suggested task blocks. An artifact collection interface can display the artifact hierarchies to entities and receive, from the entities, a new set of artifact-input data associated with the completion of the artifact hierarchies. Using the new set of artifact-input data, the centralized artifacts system performs updates to the artifact hierarchies such as modifying the existing artifact hierarchies or generating new artifact hierarchies.

Abstract: In some aspects, the subject technology relates to an “Eco-mode” on a thermostat. A button or other user interface element may be configured to activate and/or deactivate) the eco-mode on the thermostat. Upon selection of the eco-mode option, various energy-saving programs can be implemented on the thermostat. The energy-saving programs can be configured to adjust a temperature setting of the thermostat or to provide notifications to a user associated with the thermostat that implement various approaches for reducing energy consumption of a heating, ventilation, and air condition (HVAC) system associated with the thermostat. The eco-mode button can provide users/consumers with a convenient way to save energy, without requiring the user to think of comfort tradeoffs that may need to take place.

Abstract: A thermostat set point insight providing method and system that receives thermostat set point information for a reference population for a user, receives at least one thermostat setting for the user, identifies the set point insight for the user based on the thermostat set point information for the reference population and the at least one thermostat setting for the user, and provides the set point insight to the user.
