Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to an apparatus for covering at least part of a mobile computing device having a touch screen display and a switch that is actuated by a motion that is at least in part lateral to a surface of a housing that houses the mobile computing device. The apparatus includes an encasement that enables operation of the touch screen display and covers at least part of the mobile computing device that includes the switch, the encasement having an outer surface and an inner surface. The apparatus further includes a switch mechanism including a switch actuator protruding from the outer surface of the encasement and covered by a flexible seal attached to the encasement. The switch mechanism includes a switch interface provided proximate the inner surface of the encasement to contact the switch, and is coupled with the switch actuator such that a movement of the switch actuator controls a movement of the switch interface to actuate the switch.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to an apparatus and/or system for covering at least part of a mobile computing device having a touch screen display and a proximity sensor, the proximity sensor having an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver. The apparatus includes an encasement that covers at least part of the mobile computing device and enables operation of the touch screen display, an optically transmissive member coupled with the encasement and positioned to overlay the proximity sensor; and a gasket having at least one transecting element to control an angle of light transmission through the optically transmissive member and to or from the proximity sensor, and to inhibit light from the infrared transmitter from being received by the infrared receiver prior to transmission through the optically transmissive member.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to an apparatus and/or system for housing a device. The apparatus includes a housing configured such that a device may be fitted within the housing and thereby be protected, such as from shocks and/or liquid. The housing may include top and bottom members that may be removably coupled together so as to form the housing. Each top and bottom member includes a perimeter portion. Defined by proximal and distal ends as well as opposing sides. The top and bottom members may include respective clasping mechanisms that extend along the perimeter of the top and bottom members and may be configured for engaging a third clasping mechanism, such as a locking comb or wedge feature. The clasping mechanisms are configured for coupling the top and bottom members with one another thereby sealing the housing, for instance, in a shockproof and/or water tight seal.

Abstract: An event recorder (10) mounted in a vehicle (20) includes sensors, including image sensor (60), sound sensor (90), location sensor (95), and vehicle performance sensors, and a capture circuit for storing sensed data signals around a triggering event. A CPU and program memory (74) are programmed to perform a validation function, such as a one-way hash function, on the captured sensor signal while transferring it to persistent memory device (100) so as to derive a validation value which is also stored in persistent memory device (100). To later verify that the data have not be tampered with, the stored data are operated on by the same validation function so as to derive an audit validation value, the audit validation value is compared with the validation value for equality and the outcome of the comparison is indicated.

Abstract: An event recorder (10) mounted in a vehicle (20) includes one or more wave pattern detectors (200) for detection and recognition of the presence of a predetermined wave produced external the vehicle (20) and for producing a trigger signal denoting predetermined wave presence. Event recorder (10) includes sensors, including image sensor (60), sound sensor (90), location sensor (95), and vehicle performance sensors, and a capture circuit for storing sensed data signals for the time period before, during and after the wave was detected. A playback circuit (13) presents the captured data. The detected wave is produced such as by the police or fire department, or by an emergency vehicle, and is typically produced for a purpose other than being detected by wave detector (200). Wave detector (200) may be illumination wave, e.g. infrared beam or flash, detector (230), a radar detector (214), a laser kB detector (224), a flashing light detector (240), or a siren detector (250).

Abstract: A vehicle operator performance monitor (10) generally comprises a housing (30), a mount (40) for mounting housing (30) to a vehicle (20), such as an automobile (21), an image sensor (62) producing an image signal, an event detection circuit producing a trigger signal responsive to detection of a predetermined triggering event, a persistent memory device (100) and a capture circuit (13) receiving and capturing the image signal, terminating capture of the image signal responsive to receipt of a trigger signal, and loading the captured image signal into persistent memory device (100). At least persistent memory device (100) is readily removable from housing (30) for removal from vehicle (20) to a remote location for playback.
