  • Publication number: 20250078520
    Abstract: A vehicle detection and collision alerting device and method is described. The vehicle detection device is used by a user to detect an approaching vehicle. The vehicle detection device may include a housing and a mount attached to the housing for securing the housing to the user or the users equipment. An optical sensor secured to the housing, facing generally outward. A processor is in communication with the optical sensor to receive data and execute an algorithm to analyze the received data. This algorithm is configured to determine the size and distance of the approaching vehicle and also calculate its velocity and trajectory. Alerting modules to alert the user and to alert the approaching vehicle are configured to receive signals from the processor when a potential collision is identified based on the data being processed.

  • Patent number: 9886489
    Abstract: Text including at least a first term can be presented on a display. An enterprise glossary is queried to identify other terms that match the first term. Data assets to which each of the other terms are linked and which include data values for the other terms can be identified. A first score indicating a level of relevance of the respective data asset to an enterprise is assigned to each of the data assets. A frequency distribution of the data values in the data assets is determined. Based at least on the first scores indicating the level of relevance of the respective data assets to the enterprise and the frequency distribution of the data values in the data assets, second scores are assigned to each of the data values. A plurality the data values which are assigned highest of the second scores are presented on the display.

  • Patent number: 9886159
    Abstract: Processing documents by highlighting a portion of a document displayed on a computer display, where the portion is highlighted when a cursor is in a predefined location of the display relative to the location of the portion of the document, where the portion is identified as a candidate for selection for a post-selection operation prior to the cursor being in the predefined location of the display, and where the highlighting is done independent of any input received via a computer input device to indicate the extents of the portion, and recording a selection of the portion when an input that is predefined to indicate a selection action is received in association with the portion via a computer input device.

  • Publication number: 20170050209
    Abstract: A coating system for a substrate is provided. The substrate has a first portion and a second portion. The coating system includes a base adapted to receive and rotate the substrate about an axis. The coating system also includes a nozzle adapted to deposit a material on a predefined location on the substrate. The coating system further includes a controller configured to receive a signal indicative of coating the first portion of the substrate with the material. The controller is configured to determine a parameter of the material. The controller is configured to determine a parameter of the predefined location. The controller is also configured to determine a parameter of the rotation of the base. The controller is further configured to selectively control the base and the nozzle to coat the first portion of the substrate with the material based on the received signal and the determined parameters.
