  • Patent number: 11928902
    Abstract: A method for situation-based processing of sensor data from a motor vehicle. Sensor data generated by sensors relating to the situation in the surroundings of the motor vehicle is transferred to a processing unit via a bus. The processing unit takes into account the transferred sensor data to determine an information requirement, and generates a request for additional sensor data on the basis of the determined information requirement and the load on the bus, and sends this request to the sensors. A corresponding device is also described.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120290911
    Abstract: The present invention relates to content folding of a web page to enable rendering of the web page on a resource-constrained device, and more particularly to interrelated methods, gateway and device for folding, unfolding and rendering of a web page with reduced layout attributes, thus being vertically elongated. Embodiments of the invention analyze the structure and content of the web page and subsequently fold content that carries less information and which would impair the user experience if left unfolded. Other embodiments of the invention unfold previously folded content at an end-users discretion. Embodiments of the invention further offer an integrated pagination solution for folded and unfolded web-pages, and overall customizes the web-page to maximize the user-experience on a device with constrained resources.

  • Patent number: 7218474
    Abstract: An assembly includes a housing with a base. A mounting pad is positioned on the base. The assembly also includes a micromechanical device coupled to the mounting pad. First and second side rails extend from the base to form first and second rail corners. The first and second rail corners are subject to striking a surface. The first and second rail corners have first and second elevations that are uneven to reduce impacts reaching the micromechanical device.

  • Patent number: 6683756
    Abstract: An information handling system including a base, a disc rotatably attached to the base; and an actuator assembly movably attached to the base. The actuator assembly also has a main body which includes a pivoting portion, an actuator arm attached to the main body, and a yoke attached to the main body. The yoke has a roughened bonding surface. A voice coil bonded to the yoke. The bonding surface has a plurality of grooves therein. The grooves or any roughening results in a plurality of features on the bonding surface of the yoke which increases the area of the bonding surface for bonding the voice coil to the yoke of the actuator assembly. The plurality of features in the bonding surface are designed to minimize cracks or potential cracking in the yoke of the actuator assembly.
