Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for an availability oriented durability technique for distributed server systems. A server that is an entry point for a message processing stream receives a message from a client device, and in response, generating a unique identifier for the message, and adds an entry in a transaction log that including the message and the unique identifier for the message. The server appends the unique identifier to the message, and transmits the message to a second server positioned downstream from the server in the message processing stream. If the server determines that the message has not been processed through the message processing stream, the server accesses the message from the transaction log, appends the unique identifier to the first message, and re-transmitting the message to the second server positioned downstream from the server in the message processing stream.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle computing system (VCS) and an adaptive cruise control module, a lane departure warning (LDW) module, a navigation system, or an alert mechanism (e.g., audible, visual or tactile). The VCS communicates with an activity tracking device worn by a vehicle driver. The activity tracking device detects and records biometric characteristics of the driver, and is capable of exchanging data with the VCS. The VCS generates at least one output signal based on data from the activity tracking device. An adaptive cruise control module may increase the distance between the vehicle and a tracking vehicle based on the signal. A navigation system may generate a recommended parking location based on a difference between step goals and current steps detected by the activity tracking device.

Abstract: System and techniques for wireless charging of a portable virtual reality (VR) host system are described herein. The present subject matter provides various examples to power a portable VR host system that allows for free movement by the user. In various embodiments the present subject matter provides connections on the footwear of the user that supply electrical power to a VR host worn by the user. In various examples, a connection technology is employed to provide connections between the user wearing the VR host system and conductive mats, plates, or flooring that are powered to provide electrical power to the VR host system via connections to the user's apparel when standing. Other forms of connection technology may be employed, such as inductive wireless technology or radio frequency signal technology that uses wireless power coils or antennae to receive power and provide it to the VR host worn by the user.

Abstract: A headway between a first vehicle and a second vehicle is determined. A predicted time to collision between the first vehicle and the second vehicle is determined. A first mechanism in a wearable device in the first vehicle is actuated when the headway is less than a predetermined threshold. A second mechanism in the first vehicle is actuated when the predicted time to collision is less than a second predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes a communication device programmed to pair with a mobile device and a processing device programmed to periodically transmit, to the mobile device, a present location signal representing a present location of the mobile device. The processing device is further programmed to detect a vehicle shutdown and transmit a final location signal to the mobile device, the final location signal representing a final location of the mobile device and a shutdown flag.

Abstract: A first output mechanism in a wearable device is actuated when a vehicle reverse speed exceeds a first threshold. A second output mechanism in a vehicle is actuated when a rear obstacle collision detection controller detects an impending collision with a rear obstacle.

Abstract: Data about a skin response characteristic are collected from a vehicle occupant. A target cabin temperature is determined based on the skin data. A climate control system is adjusted based on the target cabin temperature.

Abstract: Biometric data about a vehicle occupant are received from a wearable device. Based at least in part on the biometric data, an occupant alertness and an occupant workload are determined. A rate of transmission of messages to the occupant is adjusted based at least in part on at least one of the occupant workload and the occupant alertness.

Abstract: A device that includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the device is programmed to identify a wearable device and a set of vehicle data from a vehicle. The user device sends a human machine interface (HMI) message to the wearable device. The HMI message is based at least in part on the set of vehicle data.

Abstract: A plurality of messages received within a predetermined period of time are prioritized. Each of the messages include data relating to one of a plurality of vehicle systems. An output is actuated in a wearable device according to a highest priority message.

Abstract: A system of one or more computers can be configured to perform particular operations or actions by virtue of having software, firmware, hardware, or a combination of them installed on a user device that includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the device is programmed to: send a trigger configuration file to a vehicle computer in a vehicle; receive an indication of a trigger from the vehicle computer; receive an input from a wearable device; and execute a task, based on the input and the trigger. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the methods.

Abstract: A lane behavior detection value that is a measure of wrist movement of a vehicle occupant is determined. A mechanism in a wearable device is actuated when the lane behavior detection value exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: A time to lane crossing that is a measure of a time for a vehicle to cross from a lane to another lane, is determined. A lane negotiation characteristic that is a measure of a mean vehicle offset front the lane, is determined. A first mechanism is actuated in a wearable device when the time to lane crossing is below a first threshold and the lane negotiation characteristic exceeds a second threshold. A second mechanism is actuated in the vehicle when a lane negotiation controller detects an imminent lane departure.

Abstract: Data on an impending curve, speed, and acceleration of a vehicle are collected. A curve attention output that is a measure of the vehicle speed, the vehicle acceleration, and the curvature of the impending curve is determined based at least in part on the data. An output mechanism in a wearable device is activated at a first intensity when the curve attention output exceeds or is equal to a first threshold and below a second threshold. The output mechanism is activated at a second intensity when the curve attention output exceeds or is equal to the second threshold and below a third threshold.

Abstract: A plurality of air data may be collected by a sensor within a data center. The plurality of air data is received by a processor. At least a portion of the received plurality of air data corresponding to at least one zone within the data center may be determined to satisfy a threshold. Coordinates of a geographical location associated with the zone that includes the sensor may be transmitted to a robotic filter. The robotic filter can be dispatched to the transmitted geographic location to filter the zone.
