  • Publication number: 20250118429
    Abstract: Described herein is an integrated health management system, and method that includes a pre-packaged tablet delivery apparatus configured to deliver pre-packaged tablets to a user. The delivery apparatus comprising an alignment guide, a processor modulated differential drive used for the directional control of the pre-packaged tablets, a sensor for sensing a location and an orientation of the pre-packaged tablet, a cutter mechanism, and cutter mechanism control logic. The sensed location and orientation of the pre-packaged tablet is used to modulate the differential drive. The cutter mechanism control logic is configured to monitor the sensed pre-packaged tablet location and orientation, then initiate a cutting sequence responsive to at least one of the predetermined configuration within the processor and the dynamic configuration responsive to determining an optimal sensed location and orientation. The control logic generates and logs a message into the distributed database responsive to the cutting sequence.

  • Patent number: 8417490
    Abstract: A system and methods are disclosed for providing integrated software development environment for the design, verification and validation of advanced automotive safety systems. The system allows automotive software to be developed on a host computer using a collection of computer programs running simultaneously as processes and synchronized by a central process. The software disclosed uses separate synchronized processes, permitting signals from disparate sources to be generated by a simulation running on the host computer or from actual sensors and data bus signals coming from and going to actual vehicle hardware which is connected to their bus counterparts in the host computer on a real-time basis. The methods disclosed are for providing an Algorithm Prototyping, Analysis and Test through an integrated framework for dynamic data modeling and application development.

  • Patent number: 8001860
    Abstract: A vehicle sensor system consisting of video, radar, ultrasonic or laser sensors, oriented to obtain a 360 degree view around the vehicle for the purpose of developing a situation or scene awareness. The sensors may or may not have overlapping field of views, or support the same applications, but data will be shared by all. Orientation of the sensor to the vehicle body coordinates is critical in order to accurately assess threat and respond. This system describes methods based on measuring force and rotation on each sensor and computing a dynamic alignment to first each other, then second to the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20080108389
    Abstract: An inband signaling modem communicates digital data over a voice channel of a wireless telecommunications network. An input receives digital data. An encoder converts the digital data into audio tones that synthesize frequency characteristics of human speech. The digital data is also encoded to prevent voice encoding circuitry in the telecommunications network from corrupting the synthesized audio tones representing the digital data. An output then outputs the synthesized audio tones to a voice channel of a digital wireless telecommunications network.

  • Publication number: 20060268930
    Abstract: A multiprocessor system used in a car, home, or office environment includes multiple processors that run different real-time applications. A dynamic configuration system runs on the multiple processors and includes a device manager, configuration manager, and data manager. The device manager automatically detects and adds new devices to the multiprocessor system, and the configuration manager automatically reconfigures which processors run the real-time applications. The data manager identifies the type of data generated by the new devices and identifies which devices in the multiprocessor system are able to process the data.
