Evangelos V.A. Brisimitzakis has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11828842
    Abstract: A bicycle radar system including a camera is disclosed. The system may include a radar unit and a mobile electronic device that are in communication with one another. The radar unit may transmit radar signals, receive return signals (reflections), and process the returned radar signals to determine a location and velocity of one or more targets located in a sensor field behind a user's bicycle. The mobile electronic device may include a communication component configured to wirelessly receive content including cartographic data and one or more high-risk geographic areas and a processor configured to determine a threat level based on the targets, the high-risk geographic area and a determined geographic position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11105920
    Abstract: A bicycle radar system including a camera is disclosed. The system may include a radar unit and a bicycle computing device that are in communication with one another. The radar unit may transmit radar signals, receive return signals (reflections), and process the returned radar signals to determine a location and velocity of one or more targets located in a sensor field behind a user's bicycle. The radar unit may also include an integrated camera to selectively provide images or video of an area behind the bicycle in the camera's field of view. The radar unit may analyze the returned radar signals and images and/or video to track the location of targets located behind the bicycle. The bicycle computing device or the radar unit may also selectively activate the camera based upon the satisfaction of particular conditions.

  • Patent number: 10459570
    Abstract: A wearable electronic device including a housing including a watch face, a protective material, a display, a touch panel comprising a plurality of touch sensors, a first watch hand, a first watch hand actuation apparatus, a memory, and a processor. In embodiments, the processor is configured to receive a touch signal from at least one of the plurality of touch sensors, determine a position of the first watch hand, identify a signal threshold of a touch sensor by selecting one of a plurality of signal thresholds stored in the memory, and identify a touch input received by the touch sensor once the touch signal received from the corresponding touch sensor exceeds the selected signal threshold.
