Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for displaying information on a heads up display (HUD). A background image is captured with a camera. A plurality of regions of the background image are analyzed to determine a region-wise image attribute for each of the plurality of regions. A symbology having a symbology attribute is generated and overlaid on an overlay region of the background image to generate a heads up display image. The overlay region is one of the plurality of regions of the background image. The symbology attribute is adjusted based on the region-wise image attribute of the overlay region to generate an adjusted heads up display image. The adjusted heads up display image is displayed on the HUD.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward providing intelligent sampling strategies that make efficient use of an always-on camera. To do so, embodiments can utilize sensor information to determine contextual information regarding the mobile device and/or a user of the mobile device. A sampling rate of the always-on camera can then be modulated based on the contextual information.

Abstract: An automated electronic video surveillance system enables a high-resolution mega-pixel camera to capture high quality, detailed, magnified images at multiple locations, simultaneously with an overview of the whole scene. A preferred embodiment requiring no moving parts provides full 360-degree continuous viewing with up to 5x all-digital zoom capability. The system performs continuous surveillance and active resolution allocation in the form of a feedback control subsystem that dynamically allocates resources so that important details within a scene receive appropriate scrutiny, while uninteresting areas are imaged at a lower resolution.

Abstract: An application is identified that was running at a time of a system crash. A system dump file is received that was created responsive to the system crash. A restoration dataset stored in the system dump file is determined. The application is restored based, at least in part, on the restoration dataset.

Abstract: A cast aluminum differential housing for a motor vehicle powertrain having cast iron inserts. The housing is cast of light weight aluminum which weighs approximately one-third that of iron which has formerly been used to fabricate such housings. At locations of significant loads and wear, such as the mountings for the stub shaft associated with the two idler bevel gears, iron inserts are cast into the housing. The housing thus weighs significantly less than a comparable iron differential housing but since the two significant wear and load bearing regions include cast iron inserts, the aluminum differential housing of the present invention has the ruggedness, durability and service life of the much heavier iron housing.

Abstract: A system and method for reliable control of a high rotor pole switched reluctance machine (HRSRM) utilizing a sensorless reliable control system. The method comprising: energizing at least one of the plurality of stator phases; measuring a first current value and time taken by the first current value to reach a first peak value or preset threshold value of current; determining a self-inductance value; storing the self-inductance value and the first current value for each of the stator phases; measuring a second current value and time taken by an adjacent un-energized stator phase to reach a second peak value of current; determining a mutual inductance value; storing the mutual inductance value and the second current value for each of the stator phases; estimating a rotor position utilizing the self-inductance and mutual inductance values; and controlling the HRSRM based on the estimated rotor position.

Abstract: Error-correcting circuit includes: component generating a first output from first and second inputs; error detector generating an error flag indicative of whether or not an error is detected in the first output, based on the first output, and the first and second inputs; correction generator generating a correcting output after a first time period beginning with a timing event, based on the first output, and the first and second inputs; and output generator generating an output after a second time period beginning with the timing event. If the error flag indicates a detected error then the second time period may be longer than the first time period, otherwise it may be not longer, and the error-correcting circuit output may include a combination of the first output and the correcting output whereby the detected error is corrected, otherwise the error-correcting circuit output may correspond directly to the first output.
