Patent number: 9315197Abstract: A touch vehicle control system having a gesture interface device with one or more touchless sensors that detect a position of a driver's appendage within a range of movement detected by the sensors. The touchless sensors send a signal to the controller that is indicative of the position of the driver's appendage within the range of movement which is then interpreted to be a vehicle command signal for a vehicle's mechanical system. Command signals include, but are not limited to acceleration, braking, parking brake, turn signals, etc.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Continental Automotive Systems, Inc.Inventors: Ruben Alejandro Diaz-Jimenez, Armando Aharon Campos-Gomez, Alejandra Enriquez-Perez, Kevin Adonai Madrid-Lopez

Patent number: 8733403Abstract: Water economizer device applicable to general fittings intended for its installation in hot and cold water feeding pipes and especially between the water supply pipe for shower artifacts whereby water consumption is reduced and the same water effect and the same sensation and result of conventional fittings is maintained. It is characterized by a coupled conduit between the water supply pipe and the water outflow artifact, within which a set of items are placed successively and operatively cooperatives between each other and which includes a piece that reduces water inflow, a piece that generates water turbulence and a piece that recovers outflow direction.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2011Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Inventors: Ariel Alejandro Diaz, Francisco Antonio Spinoso

Publication number: 20110153341Abstract: Certain examples provide systems and methods for patient identification. Certain examples provide a patient identification system. The patient identification system includes a data storage to store patient information including patient identifying information associated with one or more patient images and a processor adapted to facilitate identification of a patient. The processor is to receive a camera feed including an image of a patient; perform facial recognition using the camera feed to identify the patient in comparison with information stored in the data storage; retrieve information associated with the identified patient from the patient storage; display the retrieved information in conjunction with the image of the identified patient on a computer screen; and facilitate an electronic action with respect to the identified patient via the computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2009Publication date: June 23, 2011Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventor: Alejandro Diaz-Cortes
