  • Patent number: 11250277
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that perform occupancy detection. Photoelectric sensors, such as through sensors, are arranged in an angled cross pattern, such that light beams of the through sensors cover a substantial portion of the seating surface of a seat. Upon interruption of a light beam making up the angled cross pattern, an object is detected in the seat. The through sensors may be held in a narrow armrest of a seat by a bracket attached to the seat frame. Further, through sensors for neighboring seats may also be held by the bracket.

  • Patent number: 10979142
    Abstract: A dynamic short range free-space optical (FSO) communication system that is specially designed for use in dynamically moving targets that are within a short range of distance (e.g., 0-50 meters) is provided herein. Using specially designed transmitters and/or receivers, the dynamic short range FSO communication system may facilitate high-bandwidth communication, while allowing several line of sight alignment options that may be useful for somewhat unpredictable vehicle movement.
