  • Patent number: 12243363
    Abstract: A method includes receiving initial sensor data and additional sensor data; and generating combined sensor data. A computing device for includes one or more processors; and one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more memories including non-transitory computer executable instructions stored therein that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: receive initial sensor data and additional sensor data; and generate combined sensor data. A computer readable storage medium includes non-transitory computer readable instructions stored thereon for generating data regarding a vehicle crash, wherein the instructions when executed on one or more processors cause the one or more processors to: receive initial sensor data and additional sensor data; and generate combined sensor data.

  • Patent number: 12217312
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting vehicle crashes is presented. The method may include detecting, at a first mobile computing device a condition corresponding to a potential crash of a vehicle. The method may also include operating a beacon receive mode in response to detecting the potential crash condition, and receiving data from a second mobile computing device operating in a beacon transmit mode, the data indicating that the second mobile computing device detected an actual crash condition of the vehicle. The method may further include confirming, based on the potential crash condition and the data received from the second mobile computing device, that the potential crash is an actual crash.

  • Patent number: 10897147
    Abstract: A power charging module includes a controller, a charging port, and a temperature sensor. The charging port delivers power to an external device plugged into the charging port. The temperature sensor provides a sensed temperature to the controller. A standard maximum power output is delivered to the charging port if the sensed temperature is categorized in a nominal thermal condition range, a modified maximum power output is delivered to the charging port if the sensed temperature is categorized in an intermediate thermal condition range, and power output to the charging port is discontinued if the sensed temperature is categorized in a critical thermal condition range.

  • Publication number: 20070071079
    Abstract: A method is provided that includes selectively engaging impedance circuits one at a time from a plurality of selectable impedance circuits in-line with a communication channel. Each of the plurality of selectable impedance circuits includes a hybrid circuit responsive to a modem and to the communication channel. The method further includes determining a performance characteristic for each of the impedance circuits and selecting one of the plurality of selectable impedance circuits for transmission based on the respective performance characteristic.
