Vehicle safety and driver condition monitoring, and geographic information based road safety systems
Patent number: 10127810Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include vehicle safety monitoring, and more particularly monitoring a condition of an operator of a vehicle. According to some embodiments, the present disclosure includes a system for alerting the operator and/or a remote server/user when the operator's driving time violates a pre-determined maximum threshold. According to other embodiments, the present disclosure includes a system that compares an operator's driving behavior against a personalized driving model, and generates a flag based on that comparison. In some cases, this comparison can help detect when the driver is exhibiting signs of fatigue or other kinds of impairment. According to other embodiments, geographic information may be used to improve road safety systems.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2017Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: ZOLL Medical CorporationInventors: William E Durie, Jr., John Gorham, Andrew D Funk, Sydney Alamy, Justin Jacoby, Amy Machacek Smith, Troy Stuart, Gary A Freeman -

Patent number: 7647472Abstract: An integrated circuit (203) for use in processing streams of data generally and streams of packets in particular. The integrated circuit (203) includes a number of packet processors (307, 313, 303), a table look up engine (301), a queue management engine (305) and a buffer management engine (315). The packet processors (307, 313, 303) include a receive processor (421), a transmit processor (427) and a risc core processor (401), all of which are programmable. The receive processor (421) and the core processor (401) cooperate to receive and route packets being received and the core processor (401) and the transmit processor (427) cooperate to transmit packets. Routing is done by using information from the table look up engine (301) to determine a queue (215) in the queue management engine (305) which is to receive a descriptor (217) describing the received packet's payload.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2006Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Thomas B. Brightman, Andrew D. Funk, David J. Husak, Edward J. McLellan, Andrew T. Brown, John F. Brown, James A. Farrell, Donald A. Priore, Mark A. Sankey, Paul Schmitt
