  • Publication number: 20240042281
    Abstract: Various systems and methods that enhance an exercise or other physical activity performed by a user are described. In some embodiments, a classification system communicates with a media hub to receive images and perform various methods for classifying or detecting poses, exercises, and/or movements performed by a user during an activity. In some embodiments, the systems and methods include a movements database (dB) that stores information as entries relating individual movements to data associated with the individual movements. Various systems, including class generation systems and body focus/activity systems, can utilize the movements database when presenting class content to users and/or presenting exercise information (e.g., muscle groups worked or targeted) to the users.

  • Patent number: 11161465
    Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to determine that travel data, reflecting previous travel, exists for an upcoming route segment. The processor is also configured to derive a fuel-efficient control strategy for the upcoming segment, based on fuel efficient behavior reflected in the travel data. The processor is further configured to execute the control strategy in a vehicle while the vehicle travels over the route segment to instruct vehicle control in accordance with the control strategy for at least a portion of the segment.

  • Patent number: 11001161
    Abstract: A vehicle includes one or more controllers, programmed to responsive to receiving an indication of a destination, select a charger within a predefined geofence from the destination; responsive to detecting the vehicle becoming less than a predefined distance from the charger, calculate a proposed charging schedule based on a current state-of-charge (SOC) and a desired SOC; and join a queue for the charger with the proposed charging schedule.

  • Patent number: 9541052
    Abstract: An ignition system controlled by a powertrain controller via a dwell line carrying a dwell signal has a state machine to monitor a dwell period between consecutive dwell signals and to adjust a rate of a variable clock signal accordingly. A multi-bit counter is clocked by the adjusted clock signal. The counter has a first set of bits to establish an integration period and a second set of bits coupled to a resistive ladder generating a stair step signal. A current sensor provides a current signal proportional to the ion current. A comparator compares the current signal to the stair step signal. An ion current counter is incremented during the integration period whenever the current signal indicates an ion current magnitude greater than the stair step signal. The accumulated count at the end of the integration period is reported to the powertrain controller as a measure of the ion current.
