Patent number: 12643399Abstract: An optical arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a head up display light field emitter that emits a light field. At least one mirror is positioned to reflect the light field such that the light field is again reflected by a windshield of the vehicle, and such that the light field is visible to a driver of the vehicle as a virtual image. The at least one mirror has a transparent section. A driver monitoring camera is positioned to capture an image of a face of the driver through the transparent section of the at least one mirror.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2024Date of Patent: June 2, 2026Assignee: PANASONIC AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS AMERICA, LLC.Inventor: John Avery

Publication number: 20230325929Abstract: Systems and methods for scoring investment data using machine learning-based model training. The method includes receiving historical data over a time period. The method further includes determining positive investment data and negative investment data based on the historical data and investment preference data. The positive investment data including characteristics associated with positive assets that align with the investment preference data. The negative investment data including characteristics associated with negative assets that misalign with the investment data. The method further includes calculating machine learning model parameters based on the positive and negative investment data. The method also includes calculating a score corresponding to a new asset based on the machine learning model parameters and new investment data. The method further includes determining whether the new investment data aligns with the investment preference data based on the score and a threshold investment score.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: John Dance, Amit Shavit, Vineel Gujjar, Michael Canny, John Avery

Publication number: 20200167720Abstract: A package shipping arrangement includes a computer system having a processing block receiving a first digital representation, captured by a camera, of a hand drawn mark on a package to be shipped. The processing block receives a desired destination address of the package, and compares the first digital representation of the mark to other digital representations of marks stored in memory. The processing block determines whether the first digital representation of the mark is different from all the other digital representations of marks. In response to determining that the first digital representation of the mark is different from all the other digital representations of marks, the processing block stores the first digital representation of the mark in the memory block in association with the desired destination address of the package.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2019Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventor: JOHN AVERY

Patent number: 10239455Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a driver sensor detecting a position of a human driver of the motor vehicle. A rear view camera captures images of an environment behind the motor vehicle. A display screen is disposed within a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to each of the driver sensor, the rear view camera, and the display screen. The electronic processor receives images captured by the rear view camera, receives outputs of the driver sensor, determines a position of the driver's head or eyes dependent upon the outputs of the driver sensor, and transmits video signals to the display screen. The video signals are dependent upon the determined position of the driver's head or eyes and dependent upon images captured by the rear view camera.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2017Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of America, Division of Panasonic Corporation of North AmericaInventors: Jason D.
