  • Patent number: 11776398
    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for merging/resolving MAP data and signal phase and timing (SPaT) messages for traffic light data prediction a vehicle in an intelligent transportation system. SPaT data and/or MAP data may be received in a vehicle from a direct source and a network source, and processed to merge data from the two different platforms. The merging of the data allows a vehicle to generate inferences relating to traffic light data received on direct, low-latency, connections, while taking advantage of the more comprehensive data provided from the network source.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7231037
    Abstract: An output reducing system for a telephone system, e.g., implemented in a headset, includes an input line and an output line, wherein the input line transmits an incoming signal to an output transducer and the output line transmits an outgoing signal from an input transducer, and a compressor system is provided in the input line for reducing the output signal level.

  • Publication number: 20040234068
    Abstract: A method for controlling the volume in a communication device interface unit connected to a communication device base station, where the interface unit includes a signal path for a speaker containing unit, where the input level is adjusted by a volume control and where the output is controlled simultaneously the same volume control. Also disclosed in a communication device interface unit including a first signal path for a speaker-containing unit, where the interface unit includes a volume control for manually controlling output volume, where the interface unit includes a first control circuit for controlling the level of the input to the interface unit and a second control circuit for controlling the output from the interface unit, and where the first and the second control circuits are controlled by the same volume control.
