  • Publication number: 20240053433
    Abstract: Provided is a radar detector that aids in management of unimportant sources, dynamically improving handling of such sources based upon previously-stored geographically-referenced information on such sources. The detector determines location of the detector, and compares it to locations of known sources, to improve handling of such detections. The detector may ignore detections received in an area known to contain a stationary source, or may only ignore specific frequencies or handle frequencies differently based upon historic trends of spurious police radar signals at each frequency, or based on geofenced locations. GPS is used to establish current physical coordinates. The detector maintains a list of the coordinates of known stationary source “offenders” and geofence coordinates or boundaries in nonvolatile memory. When a microwave or laser source is detected, it may compare current coordinates to geofence boundaries and/or sources in this list.

  • Publication number: 20220288570
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a composition. In an embodiment, a catalyst composition is provided and includes from 85 mol % to 95 mol % iron metal, and from 15 mol % to 5 mol % indium metal, wherein mol % is based on total moles of iron metal and indium metal. Also provided is a process of contacting, under reaction conditions, a gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and optionally water with the catalyst composition. The process includes forming a reaction product composed of light olefins.

  • Patent number: 11185809
    Abstract: Air cleaner assemblies and components therefor are described. An example first or main filter cartridge is described which includes a media pack comprising fluted material secured to facing sheets. The media pack defines opposite inlet and outlet flow faces, with flutes extending in a direction therebetween. The cartridge defines a closed end, spaced from, but in overlap with, the outlet end face of the media pack.

  • Patent number: 11151807
    Abstract: A method at a computing device for calculating a distance travelled, the method including receiving a plurality of discrete position fixes; determining a first distance travelled over the plurality of discrete position fixes by using a first calculation technique between successive discrete position fixes; determining a second distance travelled over the plurality of discrete position fixes by using a second calculation technique between successive discrete position fixes; applying a first weight to the first distance travelled and a second weight to the second distance travelled; and determining the distance travelled using a weighted average of the first distance travelled and the second distance travelled.

  • Patent number: 10949680
    Abstract: A method for identifying a loading bay at a facility to which a vehicle is reversing, the method including determining, at a sensor apparatus connected with the vehicle, that the vehicle is reversing; capturing an image of the loading bay; and determining, from the image, the loading bay at the facility to which the vehicle is reversing.

  • Patent number: 10677888
    Abstract: An enhanced radar detector in one example displays a source direction of one more detected signals simultaneously with a frequency band of the detected signal. In another embodiment, a method detects a location of a false alert source to suppress alerts emanating from the location. A geographic location of a first mid-ship point of a detected radar signal in a vehicle traveling in a first direction are identified/recorded. The geographic location of a second mid-ship point of a detected signal is also identified/recorded in a vehicle traveling in a second different direction. The recorded geographic locations/directions of travel are uploaded to a host server, or evaluated within the radar detector, to identify a false source and mark a false source at an intersection of the first and second midlines. The marked false source location can be used in a detector and/or downloaded to multiple detectors via a social network.
