  • Patent number: 11877069
    Abstract: The invention relates to an image capturing device (1) comprising an image sensor (9) making it possible to obtain both an infrared image (31) and an image in the visible range (35) by means of an array of elementary optical filters comprising first optical filters, which are at least partially transmissive in the infrared range, and second optical filters which are at least partially transmissive in the visible range. The image capturing device comprises a calculator (12) which is programmed to control the image sensor to perform two shots, one being exposed according to an ambient brightness in the infrared range for obtaining the first image and the other being exposed as a function of an ambient brightness in the visible range for obtaining the second image. The invention also relates to a system for monitoring a driver (3), comprising such an image capturing device.

  • Patent number: 11845335
    Abstract: The invention relates to an image capture device (1) comprising an image sensor (9) making it possible to obtain both an infrared image (31) and an image in the visible range (35) by means of an array of optical filters comprising first filtering elements, having a transmission spectral band in the infrared range, as well as second filtering elements, having a transmission spectral band in the visible range. The image capture device further comprises: —a lighting device (11) configured to emit infrared radiation, and—a computer (13), programmed to control the power of the infrared radiation emitted by the lighting device, as a function of said ambient luminosity in the infrared range. The invention also relates to a monitoring system (2) for monitoring a driver (3), comprising such an image capture device.

  • Publication number: 20210209926
    Abstract: A generator set monitoring and control system includes a generator set located in a first location, an on-site controller located near the first location, and a remote display, located in a second location. The remote display is configured to send instructions to at least one of the generator set and on-site controller, receive genset operation outputs from the on-site controller, and display genset operation outputs.

  • Publication number: 20040219228
    Abstract: An animal model for inflammatory bowel disease is described. The model is based on a mammal not expressing a functional mdr1a gene product, or wherein the mdr1a gene product is inhibited, which develops inflammatory bowel disease when subjected to elevated chlorine concentrations, e.g. given chlorinated drinking water. Methods of screening for compounds useful for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, as well as methods to identify, for example, new targets for new compounds for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease are also described.
