Abstract: A slot antenna in a heatable vehicle glazing established between the heating bus bar, bus bar extensions and the peripheral edge of an IR reflective coating. The antenna slot may be fed directly by a voltage source, a current source, or a coupled coplanar line at locations that excite both fundamental and higher order modes for multiband antenna applications. The slot antenna may be established between split bus bars or split bus bar extensions that limit heat loss and improve antenna efficiency. Multiple antennas can be integrated into the heatable glazing for multiband applications and/or diversity antenna systems.

Abstract: An electric energy currently stored in the battery is detected. A target location and a route to the specified target location are specified. Prior to reaching the target location, a final section of the route along which the vehicle operates under electric power alone is specified. A number of electrically operated devices required to operate the vehicle along the final section of the route are specified. A maximum required electric energy for operating the vehicle along the final section of the route under electric power alone when using the specified number of electrically operated devices is estimated. A maximum total electric energy required to operate the vehicle along the route is estimated. An alternate route is determined based on determining the detected stored electric energy is less than the estimated maximum total electric energy required to operate the vehicle along the route.

Abstract: A Remote Trailer Maneuvering (RTM) system includes a mobile device app that identifies and processes environmental information from a photo, to identify obstacles such as walls, surrounding objects, etc. When the RTM system detects a boat, a trailer, and a boat ramp, it calculates a travel distance to drive the trailer into the water for unloading the boat. The RTM system identifies obstructions, outputs information and warnings, and prompts for information and user control feedback. Once the photo is processed, the RTM system sends control instructions to an RTM controller onboard the vehicle. The vehicle may send a responsive message to the mobile device indicating that the RTM system is ready to proceed with the maneuvering function. The RTM controller maneuvers the trailer, using an autonomous vehicle controller, to the target position using the control instructions.

Abstract: Architecture that enables a user to designate acceptance to receiving social cards from other user in a social network using a personal digital assistant. A mapping component maintains the mappings of all users who have accepted to participate in card sharing and the acceptance level. A whitelist of users can be created that lists the users to whom a social card can be sent from an endpoint. The user can create local groups dynamically at runtime on the local endpoint, where the local groups enable the sharing of the personalized content with multiple users concurrently. The shared card is selected by the sending user and becomes available to the PDA on the proactive canvas of the recipient's PDA along with other cards. Based on the user engagement history, these cards can be ranked among other cards social or non-social PDA cards. Conflation, push notifications, and filtering are also provided.
