The system includes a hybrid wireless tire sensor (HWTS) coupled to an interior of the tire, a processor electrically connected to the wheel motor, and a memory. The memory has instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including gathering real time data with the HWTS, and utilizing the real time data to compensate the wheel motor so that preferred torque is applied to the tire.

Abstract: A theft detection system for a vehicle is provided. The theft detection system includes a hybrid wireless tire sensor (HWTS) coupled to an interior of a tire of the vehicle, a processor, and a memory. The memory has instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including detecting a change in voltage across the HWTS responsive to a change in deformation of the tire, and determining, based on the change in deformation of the tire, if a theft is occurring.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for metal foam cooling of vehicle electronic. An example apparatus may include an electronic control unit (ECU) comprising an electronic component included within a housing. The example apparatus may also include a metal foam configured to dissipate heat produced by the electronic component and also configured to facilitate electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for the electronic component. The example apparatus may also include an interface between the ECU and the metal foam, wherein the interface provides a connection between the ECU and metal foam to facilitate heat dissipation from the electronic component to a location outside of the housing.

Abstract: Stable and bioavailable oral dosage forms of ibrutinib, the dosage forms comprising ibrutinib and an acidifying agent. The dosage forms can further comprise a binder, such as sodium alginate, a surfactant, a lubricant, a filler and/or a disintegrant. Methods of treating cancers, particularly blood cancers, and graft versus host disease comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a dosage form comprising ibrutinib and an acidifying agent.

Abstract: Systems and methods for securing limited drivability of a vehicle by impaired drivers using blockchain are provided. The vehicle system uses blockchain to protect and disclose such vehicle deactivation, prevent false enabling/disabling of a vehicle, and saves this information to a shared ledger. A sensor system located on the vehicle, e.g., alcohol interlock sensors, interior sensors, and exterior sensors, may have access to this information along with fleet managers, OEM, and/or users. For example, when the alcohol interlock sensor is activated, it transmits a test request. Subsequently, the other sensors may identify the request and look for a known person inside or in the proximity of the vehicle. In a similar manner, whether the test has been conducted, as well as the results of the test may be verified by the other nodes, e.g., sensors/modules in the vehicle. Upon confirmation that the driver is impaired, the vehicle may be deactivated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating an engine that may be automatically stopped and started without a human driver providing input to a device that has a sole function of stopping and starting the engine are presented. In one example, automatic engine starting is inhibited responsive to output of vehicle sensors that may be indicative of service being performed on a vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle employing a method of detecting seatbelt status in a vehicle may include detecting occupants entering the vehicle and taking first seat images with a camera upon detecting the vehicle may begin travel imminently. The first seat images are analyzed to detect the occupants, with LEDs activated on seatbelt assemblies for seats with the occupants. Activation of the LEDs is changed for respective seats with the occupants upon detecting seatbelt engagement for the corresponding seat, and second seat images are taken upon detecting that the vehicle is shifted into gear. The first and second seat images are compared, and an alert is activated when the comparison of first and second seat images indicates improper seatbelt use for one of the seats with the occupants. Fault conditions may also be detected.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for accelerometer-based windshield wiper monitoring. A vehicle includes an accelerometer affixed to a vehicle window, a windshield wiper to actuate across the vehicle window, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine an acoustic profile corresponding to the windshield wiper based on structure-borne audio data received from the accelerometer, determine whether a bandlimited decibel level of the acoustic profile exceeds a threshold, and responsively provide an alert via a vehicle display.

Abstract: A blocking apparatus is cooperable with the latch lever of a vehicle door latching mechanism to prevent the latch lever from moving during a crash event, which prevents the latching mechanism from allowing the vehicle door to open. The blocking apparatus includes a housing supporting a linearly movable plunger engagable with a cam surface on the latch lever and a blocking member pivotally mounted for movement between a normal position and a blocking position. The blocking member moves into the blocking position due to the imposition of crash forces on the blocking member during a crash event. A centering spring mechanism biases the blocking member into the normal position and can return the blocking member into the normal position to permit movement of the latch lever after the crash event has occurred. The plunger is biased into engagement with the latch lever so as to move with the cam surface.
