Abstract: A host vehicle system includes a blind-spot warning system providing an indication to the host vehicle a target vehicle entering a blind-spot. The system includes a vehicle bus receiving various vehicle control signals, magneto-resistive sensors receiving proximity information as a function of magnetic field variations, a smart algorithm controller analyzing bus signals and sensor signals, and various vehicle collision systems such as passive restraints, optical light guides, and audible warnings operating in response to a threat from a target vehicle.

Abstract: A host vehicle system includes a lane change system providing an indication to the host vehicle a target vehicle entering a destination lane. The system includes arrays of magneto-resistive sensors on both sides of the vehicle receiving proximity information as a function of magnetic field variations, a vehicle bus receiving various vehicle control signals, a smart algorithm controller analyzing bus signals and sensor signals, and various vehicle collision systems such as passive restraints, optical light guides, and audible warnings operating in response to a threat from a target vehicle.

Abstract: A health care operating system (10) includes multiple health care center objects (44). Smart devices (42) are coupled to the health care center objects (44) and include body internal control circuits (64, 70, 134). A database (20) stores information related to the health care center objects (44). A server (18) is coupled to the database (20). Multiple controllers (46, 156, 158, 314, 320, 353, 360) are coupled to the server (18) and write and/or read the information to and from the smart devices (42) utilizing electromagnetic induction. A health care center network (10) also includes the health care center objects (44) and the smart devices (42). The smart devices (42) inductively transmit identification signals. The database (20) stores the information. The controllers (46, 156, 158, 314, 320, 353, 360) within multiple facilities (172, 174, 342, 344, 346, 348, 350) communicate with the server (18) in response to the identification signals.

Abstract: A smart surgical device (10) for use during an operating procedure includes a surgical apparatus (12) that aids in the facilitation of an operating procedure. A body internal readable control circuit (14) is coupled and stores identification information related to the surgical apparatus (12).
