  • Publication number: 20250042412
    Abstract: A system is described with a steering wheel featuring an integrated snooze alert unit and microcontroller. It monitors steering wheel pressure, compares it to baseline data, and detects changes to assess driver drowsiness or any abnormal driving behaviors. Using a trained model and expert modules, it diagnoses issues and determines probabilities of drowsiness. Restoration tasks, such as alerts, are executed based on these probabilities. Post-restoration, pressure data is monitored to generate new training data for a second model, enhancing the system's ability to alert the driver and maintain alertness, ensuring safe driving conditions.

  • Publication number: 20220194406
    Abstract: A snooze alert system comprises a steering wheel, that has an inbuilt snooze alert unit. Accordingly, the inbuilt snooze alert system may alert the driver, on detecting a loosened grip from both hands of the driver. Further, the inbuilt snooze alert system may be powered by the same vehicle's battery, thereby eliminating the need for a separate powering unit. Furthermore, the system may be controlled through buttons or switches integrated into the steering wheel, as well as through other wireless means such as a Bluetooth connection. Thus, the steering wheel with the inbuilt snooze alert system is a protective and smart addition to all vehicles.

  • Publication number: 20210084960
    Abstract: A meat product offers a user stable construction with a rod engaging a threaded socket inside at least one bone of the meat portion. The meat product allows the user to steadily hold meat products using the user's hands without touching the meat or requiring any cutting beforehand. Additionally, the meat product can be easily taken apart by disengaging the rod from the threaded socket. The meat product may have multiple rods, thus allowing the user to hold heavy meat products. Each rod may comprise a handle which provides efficient and effective handling, processing, cooking and/or eating. The handle may comprise various shapes and a slip resistant surface that offers the user more secure handling. The meat product can be made individually by the user or manufactured in batches. Thus, the meat product allows the user to achieve a sanitary eating product.
