  • Patent number: 10580282
    Abstract: A method includes providing ear-based contextual environment and biometric pattern recognition using an earpiece including an earpiece housing, an intelligent control disposed within the earpiece housing, a speaker operatively connected to the intelligent control, a microphone operatively connected to the processor. The method includes sensing at least one physiological parameter of a user of the earpiece with at least one biometric sensor operatively connected to the intelligent control, sensing at least one environmental parameter with at least one environmental sensor operatively connected to the intelligent control, performing pattern recognition analysis at the intelligent control of the earpiece using the at least one environmental parameter and the at least one physiological parameter as input to identify an alert condition, and generating an audible alert to the user using the speaker when the pattern recognition analysis indicates presence of the alert condition.

  • Patent number: 9446733
    Abstract: This invention relates to a gas bag arrangement of a vehicle occupant restraint system, the gas bag arrangement comprising: a gas bag (1) which includes at least one inflatable chamber (11) with a first and a second portion (111, 112); and at least one connecting element (51, 51?, 52) which connects the first and the second portion (111, 112) with each other such that the first and the second portion (111, 112) extend at an angle to each other, wherein the first and the second portion (111, 112)—based on the mounted and inflated condition of the gas bag (1)—extend at least approximately parallel to a plane defined by the vehicle height and vehicle length direction (z, x) and the connecting element (51, 51?, 52) extends on a side of the gas bag (1) facing away from the vehicle occupant (2) to be protected and points towards the vehicle front, wherein the gas bag arrangement is arranged and formed for the protection of the upper body and/or the head of a passenger or a vehicle occupant (2) located on a rear
