Patent number: 10899391Abstract: A motor vehicle has a bodyshell which forms a passenger cell. The bodyshell has two lateral side frames with in each case one front, lateral bodyshell pillar or A pillar. On a front side of the bodyshell, a front-end structure is formed, wherein the front-end structure has, on both sides, in each case one spring strut dome, one horizontally running support member arranged between the spring strut dome and the respective A pillar, and one support member running diagonally between the spring strut dome and a lower end of the A pillar. The two support members and the A pillar are assembled in monocoque construction from member profiles, wherein the three members form in each case one triangular load-bearing structure.

Patent number: 10515484Abstract: A system configured to facilitate interactions with virtual content in an interactive space may comprise one or more of a hand tracking device, a light source, an optical element, one or more physical processors, non-transitory electronic storage, and/or other components. The hand tracking device may be configured to generate output signals conveying ranges of surfaces and/or objects present in the real world. A hand of a user may be identified and tracked through three-dimensional space. A virtual cursor may be presented as positionally linked with the hand. The virtual cursor may be modified to reflect change in hand pose. As the hand comes close to virtual objects, an individual virtual object may be modified to reflect which virtual object is closest to the hand.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Meta View, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Lucas, Michael Stein, Mayan Shay May-Raz, Kharis O'Connell

Publication number: 20180158309Abstract: A Sound-responsive Repeater Device, System, and Method. The device can be programmed to recognize audible sounds and then responsively trigger an action. The triggered actions are local visual and audible alerts, such as flashing lights and audible sirens or beeps. Each device may be capable of recognizing the unique alert tone of another device so that each device will trigger on the audible alert being generated by another device without the need for user programming. This will create a “domino effect” of cascading alerts from device to device. Each device will have onboard backup power, as well as at least one removeable flashlight that will provide a user with emergency lighting at each device, and the ability to take a flashlight with them in order to escape the building. There will be versions of the device that interconnect with conventional Home Automation gateways, either via conventional Home Automation communications protocol (e.g. zigbee, zwave, etc.), or by WiFi.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2017Publication date: June 7, 2018Inventor: Karl Michael Steins
