  • Publication number: 20240109487
    Abstract: A method for providing a post-event alert includes receiving sensor data, detecting, based on the sensor data, at least one vehicle event, and determining a severity value associated with the at least one vehicle event. The method also includes determining whether the severity value is greater than a severity threshold and, in response to a determination that the severity value is greater than the severity threshold, identifying at least one aspect of a vehicle that is potentially damaged. The method also includes determining a potential damage value associated with the at least one aspect of the vehicle that is potentially damaged, determining whether the potential damage value is greater than a potential damage threshold, and, in response to determining that the potential damage value is greater than the potential damage threshold, generating an alert indicating at least the at least one aspect of the vehicle that is potentially damaged.

  • Patent number: 9085932
    Abstract: A safety door apparatus is described that includes a door with a removable and replaceable safety edge. The door defines a notch in at least one of the elongate edges of the door. The notch defines a recessed surface that conformingly mates with the resilient safety edge. A safety hinge assembly connects to the door and receives the safety edge. The recessed surface of the notch can extend partially or the full length of the elongate edge of the door. The safety edge can similarly extend partially or the full length of the elongate edge of the door. The safety door can include multiple configurations of removable and replaceable edge portions that can include a non-safety edge. A decorative molding is positionable over the connection between the safety edge and notch.
