  • Publication number: 20210127051
    Abstract: A vehicle in-cabin monitoring system is disclosed. For one embodiment, the system includes a sensor module, the sensor module includes a plurality of image sensors (e.g., cameras). The system includes a first illumination source. The system includes a signal generator to generate a sync signal to sync a first and a second of the plurality of image sensors to monitor an interior cabin of a vehicle, where the sync signal is to synchronize the first illumination source to the first image sensor such that objects illuminated by the first illumination source is not captured by the second image sensor while allowing the first image sensor to capture objects illuminated by the first illumination source. For another embodiment, one or more captured images are fused together.

  • Publication number: 20180174434
    Abstract: Disclosed systems, methods and components or features thereof generally enable redesign of a legacy non-IoT device or appliance into an IoT device and incorporation into an IoT system. A communication module receives from an appliance a message with which the IoT system identifies the appliance. The communication module is provided with appliance-specific data with which it can control the appliance as an IoT device. A parser in an IoT platform uses rules and a schema to parse the appliance messages. New rules can be added for handling new communication modules for new appliances. Other features are also described.

  • Publication number: 20100192406
    Abstract: A wire-free, rechargeable electrically heated insole for footwear. The insole comprises an upper sole and a bottom sole separated by electrical components for controlling the continuous monitoring and heating of the insole. An insert and fiber plane are also provided as a cushion for the electrical components between the upper and bottom soles. The electrical components comprise a printed circuit board electrically coupled with a thermostat, an amplifier and transistor, resistors, and a light emitting diode to form the electrical system. An integrated battery is used to power the system. The insole is designed to be automatically activated to generate heat when the temperature of the foot inside the footwear cools to a certain temperature and automatically de-activated or discontinue generating heat when the temperature of the foot inside the footwear heats to a certain temperature.
