  • Adjustable Lighting
    Publication number: 20240093845
    Abstract: A system may have a support structure that separates an exterior region from an interior region. The system may include a lighting system with interior and/or exterior lights with adjustable diffusers. An interior light may be used as a task light, a cabin light, a sensor indicator light, or a trim light. Adjustments to the adjustable diffusers can be used to adjust the angular spread of emitted light for operation in different lighting modes.

  • Techniques for streaming video quality analysis
    Patent number: 9538171
    Abstract: Improved techniques for streaming video quality analysis are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a processor element, an identification component for execution by the processor element to determine frame identifications for each of a set of tagged video frames based on frame identifiers contained in the tagged video frames, each frame identifier comprising multiple markers, each marker comprising a macroblock pattern corresponding to a symbol according to a frame identification scheme, and an analysis component for execution by the processor element to determine one or more quality metrics by comparing the set of tagged video frames with a set of reference video frames based on the frame identifications. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
