  • Patent number: 11927962
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and a method for addressing an error in a localization system that includes monitoring a plurality of sensors of a driver assistance system in real-time, with each sensor generating a data stream. The method further includes identifying a sensor having an anomalous data stream and calculating a primary localization and a backup localization. The primary localization calculation includes the anomalous data stream and the backup localization calculation does not include the anomalous data stream. Further, the method includes executing an action when the backup localization error estimate exceeds a threshold.

  • Patent number: 11450116
    Abstract: The disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for sharing a video feed of a camera among multiple image processing components in a vehicle. A first priority may be applied to a first image processing component that performs a first image processing function. A second priority that is lower than the first priority, is applied to a second image processing component that performs a second image processing function. The first function may be deemed more important than the second function due to various reasons. Consequently, the first image processing component is offered priority to apply a first set of camera settings on the camera. The second image processing component may prefer to apply a different set of camera settings for executing the second image processing function. An access arbitrator allows the second image processing component to do so when the first image processing component relinquishes control of the camera.

  • Patent number: 11353912
    Abstract: A joystick assembly for use with a device including a joystick surface and a first magnet having north and south magnetic poles includes a second magnet having north and south magnetic poles and a movable elongated shaft having first and second opposing ends arranged along a major axis of the shaft. The first end of the shaft is coupled to the second magnet such that movement of the shaft results in movement of the second magnet relative to the first magnet such that a line between centers of the north and south magnetic poles of the second magnet is movable relative to a line between the north and south magnetic poles of the first magnet. An attraction of the second magnet to the first magnet results in a restoring force upon the shaft, and the shaft and the second magnet are removable from the joystick surface.

  • Patent number: 11212462
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting and correcting for lens tilt in cameras. The common mode signal may be derived from autofocus position (AP) sensors and used as a measure of the autofocus position of the lens on the Z axis. The differential mode signal may also be derived from the AP sensor signals. The differential mode signal may indicate that the lens is or is not tilted, and if tilted may indicate the direction and magnitude of the tilt. The differential mode signal may be used to apply a tilt correction transform to image data based on the strength and direction of the signal. The differential mode signal may also be used to translate the lens on an axis orthogonal to the Z axis to partially correct for lens tilt to align the image plane with the photosensor.

  • Patent number: 11162815
    Abstract: A system for detecting a magnetic target includes a magnetic field sensor comprising two or more sensing clusters positioned on a surface of a substrate; and a magnetic target comprising at least four magnetic quadrants spaced evenly around a center point of the magnetic target. The at least four magnetic quadrants have alternating magnetic polarities. The two or more sensing clusters are positioned evenly around the axis of rotation so that each of the sensing clusters detects a magnetic field of two magnetic quadrants that have the same magnetic polarity.

  • Patent number: 10723694
    Abstract: Propargyl-functionalized macrocyclic compounds can include non-aggregating compounds having at least one phthalocyanine (Pc), azaphthalocyanine (AzaPc), or naphthalocyanine (Nc) unit. The compounds can be metal-free or metal-complexed. The metal-complexed compounds can include zinc (II), for example. The compounds can include multiple propargyl moieties at different sites, e.g., peripheral or non-peripheral sites, as described herein. Exemplary compounds include an azaphthalocyanine complex (AzaPc1) and phthalocyanine complexes (Pc2-Pc5). The compounds may provide efficient solubility in aqueous and/or organic solvents, optimal physicochemical properties, improved photo-sensitizability, significant tumor specificity, and electron transfer tunability. The compounds can provide suitable non-aggregated molecular scaffolds for construction of numerous macrocycle derivatives via different organic transformation methodologies, e.g., Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC).
