  • Publication number: 20240142553
    Abstract: An electromagnetically shielded electronic assembly is disclosed in which electromagnetic shielding and filtering is provided to prevent unwanted radiofrequency energy, generated from an electric device residing within the assembly, from radiating externally. The electronic device resides within a primary shielded region and is coupled, through a filter, to an external electrical conductor that extends externally from the shielding. The filter resides within a secondary shielded region that is electromagnetically shielded from the primary shielded region, with the filter electrically contacting the electromagnetic shielding within the secondary shielding region.

  • Publication number: 20240144320
    Abstract: One embodiment of an existing customer lead generation system comprises a vendor customer information database, a vendor criteria database, a web server, a matching engine, and a transmission component. The vendor customer information database identifies vendor's existing customers. The vendor criteria database determines which leads each vendor wants to receive. Separate criteria may be specified for consumers that are existing customers and consumers that are not existing customers. The web server receives characteristics of a consumer and a product or service. The matching engine compares the consumer characteristics with the vendor customer information database to identify vendors for which the consumer is an existing customer. The matching engine applies existing customer criteria to match the consumer with existing vendors. The matching engine applies non-existing customer criteria to match the consumer with other vendors.

  • Publication number: 20240109537
    Abstract: In various examples, the ride quality of an autonomous vehicle is improved by selecting a lateral lane position based at least in part on measured road-condition information. In various examples, information describing the condition of a road is obtained by measuring vehicle motion and road noise using sensors on the vehicle. This information is stored in association with the lateral lane position of the vehicle to produce a profile describing expected ride quality as a function of lateral lane position. In some examples, this information is uploaded and aggregated on a remote server to produce a lateral profile of road condition using information collected by many vehicles.
