  • Patent number: 11971548
    Abstract: A system having a camera to capture a scene image of a scene having an object as viewed from a perspective of an operator through a windscreen; a computer vision circuit to identify an object image corresponding to the object in the scene image captured by the camera; a marker generator circuit to generate a marker indicative of the identified object image and to determine a marker position in the operator's line of sight between the object and the operator; and a screen to display the generated marker in the marker position to appear associated with the identified object as viewed from the perspective of the operator through the windscreen. Also, methods for marking objects.

  • Publication number: 20240053839
    Abstract: A system includes a base unit associated with an object, and a mobile unit carriable by a person. The base unit includes a base unit capacitive coupling element providing a base unit-human capacitive coupling between the base unit and the person, and the mobile unit includes a mobile unit capacitive coupling element providing a mobile unit-human capacitive coupling between the mobile unit and the person. The base unit-human capacitive coupling and mobile unit-human capacitive coupling enable a data transmission connection between the base unit and mobile unit that passes through the person's body. Base unit transmitter circuitry of the base unit transmits object related data via the data transmission connection passing through the person's body, mobile unit receiver circuitry of the mobile unit receives the object related data, and an output device of the mobile unit outputs human-perceptible signals based on the received object related data.

  • Patent number: 11727097
    Abstract: A credential authorization device having a first fingerprint sensor, configured to detect first sensor data representing one or more elements of a finger from a first person in contact with the first fingerprint sensor; a second fingerprint sensor, configured to detect second sensor data representing one or more elements of a finger from a second person in contact with the second fingerprint sensor; and one or more processors, configured to determine an authorization for a transaction based on an authentication of the first sensor data and the second sensor data.
