  • System and method for executing gesture based control of a vehicle system
    Patent number: 10562394
    Abstract: A method and system for executing gesture based control of a vehicle system that include receiving at least one signal that pertains to at least one muscle movement from sensors disposed within a gear shift knob. The method and system also include determining at least one gesture based on the at least one signal. Additionally, the method and system include determining an interaction command with the vehicle system based on the at least one gesture. The method and system further include outputting the interaction command to the vehicle system.

  • Method for testing connectivity of software applications hosted on networked computers
    Patent number: 8589521
    Abstract: A method for verifying the connectivity of software applications hosted on networked computers. The connectivity of hosted function applications to be loaded into networked computers is verified and validated using quasi-hosted function applications that simulate the communications functions (i.e., connectivity) of those hosted function applications. The quasi-hosted function applications are run on the same hardware that the real hosted function applications will be run on. Furthermore, the connectivity of a real hosted function application loaded into one computer can be verified and validated by simulating communications of that real hosted function application with a multiplicity of quasi-hosted function applications running on the networked computers.
