Abstract: Described herein is a rearview mirror (100) for a vehicle (102). The rearview mirror (100) comprises a body (104) mounted to the vehicle (102) and supporting an electrically controllable reflective device (108). A camera (110) is mounted to or adjacent to the body (104). The camera (110) comprises an image sensor having a pixel array adapted to capture two or three dimensional images of an interior of the vehicle (102), including a rear window (112), in both the visible and infrared wavelength range. A processor (124) is configured to process the captured images to generate a control signal for controlling a transmittance of the electrically controllable reflective device (108). The control signal is derived based on a comparison of pixel brightness between pixels within an interior vehicle cabin pixel region (150) and a rear window pixel region (152) in the captured images.

Abstract: A remote stove lock assembly includes a stove that has a plurality of burner controls and a control unit that is attached to the stove. The control unit has a biometric scanner to scan an authorized user's fingerprint and the control unit enables each of the burner controls when the biometric scanner scans the authorized user's fingerprint thereby facilitating the stove to be employed for cooking. Conversely, the control unit disables each of the burner controls until the biometric scanner scans the authorized user's fingerprint to inhibit a person with dementia from operating the stove. A personal electronic device is in remote communication with the control unit to enable each of the burner controls when the personal electronic device broadcasts an actuate command to facilitate the authorized user to remotely enable or disable the stove.

Abstract: A disclosed system is configured to estimate an attention state of a subject within a scene. An imaging camera captures digital images of the subject and one or more light sources illuminate the subject during a period in which the digital images are captured. The system also includes a processor that processes the captured images to generate subject attention data of the subject.

Abstract: A ceiling fan includes a hub adapted to be rotated, such as by an onboard motor in a low-profile motor housing. One or more fan blades are adapted to extend radially from the hub. At least one magnet is provided for coupling at least one fan blade to the hub.
