  • Patent number: 11796336
    Abstract: A method for determining routes for test drives of autonomous vehicles, wherein a plurality of test features are to be encountered or avoided on the routes. The method includes determining a geographical area in which a test drive is to take place, determining a starting point, determining a destination point, determining the plurality of test features, which are relevant for the test drive, creating a logical expression which places the plurality of test features in a logical relationship to one another, determining, at least one route which are located within the geographical area, which have the starting point and the destination point and which satisfy the logical expression, using a map material for the area and positions or areas where the plurality of test features are located, and displaying a representation of the determined routes for a user for the purpose of selecting a selected route.

  • Publication number: 20220189023
    Abstract: A method for detecting a plurality of persons with fever including acquiring a first image by a camera, the first image including a first image data of at least a first person, acquiring a second image by a thermal imaging camera, wherein the second image includes a second image data of the first person and a temperature reference apparatus in an infrared spectrum, the second image, at least in sections, has an identical image area as the first image, superimposing the first image and the second image to form a third image, wherein the third image includes a third image data of the first image and the second image, determining a first measurement point within the first image data of the first image, and determining a first temperature for the first measurement point based on the third image and the second image data of the temperature reference apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20180169582
    Abstract: An ion processing system for collecting and processing combustion information to improve engine efficiency and decrease engine emissions. The ion processing system generally includes a processing unit which is adapted to receive signals from engine sensors such as the crank sensor, injector sensor, and cam sensor. An ion sensor is provided to detect all phases of combustion and generate an ion current signal to be received by the processing unit. Signal conditioners are provided for each individual signal source (crank sensor, injector sensor, cam sensor, ion sensor) to amplify and filter the signals for optimal detection and analysis by the processing unit. The processing unit may monitor crank positioning, cam positioning, and injector timing across all stages of operation of an engine in real-time. This information may be processed and communicated to an engine control unit to improve efficiency and reduce emissions, or to a computing device for diagnostics.
