  • Publication number: 20240323271
    Abstract: A method of providing an alert to a user of a vehicle includes determining a change in a vehicle operating state, determining if a remote electronic device is detected within the vehicle, and providing an alert to a user if certain conditions are met. An alert is provided if: a) the change in vehicle operating state was from on to off and a phone was detected within the vehicle; or b) the change in vehicle operating state was from off to on and phone was not detected within the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11910280
    Abstract: A method for broadcasting a basic safety message (BSM) packet from a host vehicle includes storing at least one path history entry of the host vehicle. The method includes determining whether a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) position fix is available. The method includes performing a corrective action on the at least one path history entry in response to the GNSS position fix not being available. The method includes, in response to the GNSS position fix being available, calculating a path history entry to be stored among the at least one path history entry based on the GNSS position fix. The method includes generating and broadcasting the BSM packet based on the at least one path history entry.

  • Publication number: 20150208950
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for an oxygen consumption monitoring system are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an oxygen consumption monitoring system is disclosed. The oxygen consumption monitoring system may comprise a probe, wherein the probe comprises a light source and a photodetector; and a main unit, wherein the main unit comprises a microcontroller and wireless transmitter. The probe may be hermetically sealed and may be capable of being implanted onto tissue. The photodetector may be capable of collecting reflectance data from the light emitted by the light source. The reflectance data may be capable of being sorted into arterial and venous blood oxygen consumption data for the tissue onto which the probe was placed or implanted. The data from the probe may be further sorted and processed to produce perfusion, heart rate, energy expenditure, caloric burn, blood pressure, hemoglobin concentration changes, and tissue oxidative stress.

  • Publication number: 20040104816
    Abstract: A tachometer redline display system having separately controllable sections for illuminating one or more of the sections from a removable outside programmable source. The selection of particular ones of the illumination portions allows for construction of a tachometer display device usable with all types of engines. Different redline requirements for different engines are taken into account by the number of illumination portions being turned on in response to the outside programmable source to provide improved efficiency in production and a streamlining of vehicle assembly lines containing tachometers.
