  • Publication number: 20200339060
    Abstract: A side inflatable airbag assembly for a vehicle is disclosed. Inflatable airbag assemblies may provide protection for an occupant in a vehicle collision event. In a side collision event, or other event producing lateral movement of the occupant relative to the vehicle, the disclosed inflatable airbag assembly may receive and support the occupant during ride down so as to prevent or minimize injury resulting from impact with a vehicle door, sidewall, center console, or other vehicle structure disposed lateral to the vehicle seating position. The disclosed airbag may differentially support the occupant by providing varied degrees of support for the shoulder, pelvis, and torso, which may be particularly beneficial to an elderly occupant whose bones may be more susceptible to some injury types and modes as a result of age-incident health issues.

  • Patent number: 10812783
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for displaying information. A display system comprises a display device with pixels, a lenticular lens system, a sensor system, and a controller. The lenticular lens system is located on the pixels in the display device. The sensor system is positioned to detect a position of eyes of an authorized user with respect to the display device. The controller determines an authorized viewing angle of each lenticular lens to the eyes of the authorized user in the lenticular lens system using the position of the eyes of the authorized user and turns on a set of the pixels such that the authorized user sees information at the authorized viewing angle.

  • Publication number: 20190303861
    Abstract: Various embodiments enable recovery with a robotic vehicle of an item placed by a user in a delivery area. The presence of the item in the delivery area may be determined using images captured by a camera, with descriptive recovery parameters derived and included in a recovery request. Recovery parameters may also include information stored in a user account and information input by a user using an application executing on a user device. The delivery area and application may be associated with the user account. The recovery request may be sent to a remote server which dispatches a robotic vehicle to the delivery area to recover the item and routes the robotic vehicle with the recovered item to a location based on information in the user account. A selection of robotic vehicle type may be based on the item's weight or one or more of its physical dimensions.

  • Publication number: 20190303860
    Abstract: Various embodiments enable recovery with a robotic vehicle of an item placed by a user on a delivery pad. The presence of the item on the delivery pad may be sensed and various descriptive recovery parameters may be included in a recovery request. Recovery parameters may be derived from measurements acquired at the delivery pad, information stored in the user account, and information input by a user using an application executing on a user device. The application may be associated with the user account. The recovery request may be sent to a remote server which in turn dispatches a robotic vehicle to the delivery pad site to recover the item and routes the robotic vehicle with the recovered item to a location based on information in the user account. A robotic vehicle selection may be based on the item's weight or one or more of its physical dimensions.
