Abstract: A system that includes a wearable device, and a method of using the system, including: receiving, at a first transceiver element of a wearable device, a target beam from a ride-share vehicle, the element having a first axis of reception; and when the first axis is oriented toward the beam, providing an indication, via the device, to a user thereof.

Abstract: A method includes transmitting a ride-share request to a ride-share server, the ride-share request including information about an accessibility device, determining a present orientation of the accessibility device, and transmitting the present orientation of the accessibility device to the ride-share vehicle. Another method includes transmitting a present orientation of an accessibility device, receiving a target orientation of the accessibility device, illuminating a light projector, determining that the accessibility device is in the target orientation, and turning off the light projector.

Abstract: A vehicle occupant messaging system includes a communication tag located in a buckle of a vehicle seatbelt assembly and configured to wirelessly transmit signals, to a mobile device, representing a location of a passenger using the mobile device in a host vehicle. The system further includes a communication transceiver programmed to transmit messages to the mobile device and a system processor programmed to generate the messages to the mobile device, the messages identifying the location of the passenger.

Abstract: A mobile device receives a message from a vehicle computing platform via remote process communication (RPC), updates an origin address of the message to indicate the mobile device, sends the message to a destination address of the message, receives a response message from the destination, updates a destination address of the response message to indicate the computing platform, and sends the response message to the computing platform via the RPC. A computing platform constructs a remote procedure call (RPC) message by a virtual network interface application for a request received from a vehicle application for a network protocol unsupported by a mobile device, and sends the RPC to the mobile device to cause the mobile device to update an origin address of the request to indicate the mobile device and send the request to a destination address of the request.

Abstract: A system and method for receiving an image of compiled user code, scanning the image to determine each of a plurality of functions included in the user code and creating a separately compiled executable module corresponding to selected ones of the plurality of functions, wherein the module includes instructions to create a stack trace for the selected ones of the functions.

Abstract: A system and method for inserting at least one instrumentation point into a program at a first location, executing the program and removing the instrumentation point from the program when the executing program reaches the instrumentation point. The system and method further recording the at least one instrumentation point in a record when the instrumentation point is removed from the program.

Abstract: A system for allocating memory for execution of computational tasks in an embedded device is described. The system uses a single stack to store the runtime memory for an executing task, and the context for selected suspended tasks, pointers are dynamically set to indicate top of stack locations for the tasks, and context locations for suspended tasks. The amount of memory in the stack is optimized during run time to use the least memory necessary.

Abstract: According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method for configuring an operating system is provided. The method includes the step of creating a task schedule on a host, the schedule comprising tasks, task start times, and task deadlines. The task schedule is used to configure a time deadline based operating system on a target computer according to the task schedule. The target operating system is run, while simultaneously capturing event data. The event data is converted into a corresponding graphical representation indicative of the occurrence of significant events on the target, the significant events corresponding to the task start times and the deadlines. The method includes the further step of changing the task start times and task deadlines in response to user interaction with reference to the graphical representation, the changes corresponding to specific significant events; and using the changes to adjust and recreate the task schedule.

Abstract: According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a computer system is provided.

Abstract: Novel one and two-part silicone dispersions are described which are suitable for applying a durable textured silicone surface on both silicone and non-silicone gloves. The non-blocking surface is obtained by dip-coating a final layer of dispersion over an article wherein the dispersion used for the final layer comprises a unique hydrophilic silica filler having a specific surface area of about 75-200 M.sup.2 per gram, at least one crosslinkable polysiloxane and a crosslinking agent. The silica particles, securely imbedded within the final layer of silicone with portions thereof extending outwardly beyond the new outer silicone surface of the gloves, present a non-blocking, non-allergenic textured surface.
