Abstract: A portable heart monitor system, including a wearable electrocardiogram device to be worn by a user to detect at least one of a heart rate, a heart rhythm, and a level of oxygen saturation, and a wearable monitoring device to be worn by the user and connected to the wearable electrocardiogram device to display at least one of the heart rate, the heart rhythm, and the level of oxygen saturation.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor. The instructions include receiving diagnostic information from a vehicle, processing the diagnostic information to diagnose a vehicle failure, and outputting repair instructions for addressing the vehicle failure. A corresponding method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A valet parking security system is provided for a motor vehicle. That valet parking security system includes an electronic trunk latch, a supplemental trunk access latch, such as a folding seat latch or a pass-through door latch, and a controller. The controller is configured to lock the electronic trunk latch and the supplemental trunk access latch when in a valet parking mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods for voltage ramp-up protection. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a method may include monitoring at least one of a first node or a second node, the first node configured to receive a first voltage greater than a second voltage present at a second node, and, in response to a slew rate of the first voltage creating a sneak condition between the first node and the second node, counteracting the sneak condition. For example, the sneak condition may favor an excess current to flow from the first node to the second node. In some cases, counteracting the sneak condition may include maintaining the second voltage below at or below a predetermined value.

Abstract: An improved radiant heater has a metal heating plate formed with at least one bulged portion surrounded by a flat transversely extending peripheral flange. Each of the bulged portions has a concave curved inner surface and a convex curved outer heat radiating surface. At least the entire concave surface of each bulged portion is covered with a coating of vitrified enamel and a printed circuit electric heating element is deposited on the enamel coating. A peripheral transition area is provided adjacent the intersection of each of the bulged portions and its surrounding flange. The transition areas are so shaped as to impart stress upon thermal deformation of the heating plate such that the enamel coating is compressed thereby increasing the dielectric resistance of the coating.
