  • Publication number: 20240430574
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a vehicle camera system. A device implementing the subject technology may include a processor configured to detect a first camera on a vehicle and a second camera on the vehicle. The processor can determine a position and a pose of at least one of the first camera or the second camera. The processor also can receive first data from the first camera and second data from the second camera. The processor can stitch the first data with the second data to generate a stitched image having a contiguous field of view based on the position and the pose of the at least one of the first camera or the second camera. Accordingly, seamless integration of cameras between a vehicle and towed objects of various geometries for surround view can be provided.

  • Publication number: 20240428545
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a vehicle camera system. A device implementing the subject technology includes a first set of cameras and a processor configured to receive first data from at least one camera of a second set of cameras of an object configured to be towed by a vehicle and second data from at least one camera of the first set of cameras. The processor may determine, using a trained machine learning algorithm, a set of sub-pixel shift values that represent relative positions of images in the first data and the second data based on a position of the at least one camera of the first set of cameras. The processor may align, using the trained machine learning algorithm, the images based on the set of sub-pixel shift values, and combine the aligned images to produce a stitched image having a combined field of view.

  • Publication number: 20240221437
    Abstract: Systems and methods of controlling an air compressor are provided. A system of a vehicle can establish a bi-directional connection with a controller of an air compressor of the vehicle. The system can present, via a graphical user interface displayed on a display device, an icon for a preset configured with a target pressure for a type of object. The system can transmit, via the bi-directional connection responsive to a selection of the preset, an instruction to the controller to activate the air compressor to inflate the object to the target pressure.

  • Publication number: 20240197005
    Abstract: An anti-fogging face mask can include a main body (130), a formable seal (134), and baffles (132A, 132B, 132C). The main body may include a panel sized for coverage of mouth and nostrils in a donned position of the face mask. The formable seal member may be disposed along an upper portion of the main body and arranged for obstructing vapor flow from the mouth or nostrils to eyewear when the eyewear is positioned over the face mask in the donned position. A first baffle (132A) may be extending rearwardly and upwardly away from the formable seal. A second baffle (132B) may be positioned below the first baffle and extending rearwardly and upwardly away from the formable seal. A third baffle (132C) may be positioned below the second baffle and extending rearwardly and downwardly away from the formable seal.

  • Patent number: 11310432
    Abstract: An image capture device may buffer video footage in a memory buffer before a command to record video is received. The image capture device may present a progression of color along a path to reflect the amount of buffered video footage. When the command to record the video is received, the video may be generated to include both buffered video footage and the video footage captured after the command.

  • Publication number: 20150381540
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method is provided for generating a reputation record and filtering electronic messages, each reputation record including a reputation score and a reputation key. The method includes receiving at least one incoming event notification, including a reputation key; determining, based on the reputation key, whether a corresponding reputation record exists; creating a new reputation record if the corresponding reputation record does not exist; determining a trust determination function based on the incoming event notification; calculating a reputation score based on the determined trust determination function, the incoming event notification, and an attribute associated with the reputation key; storing the calculated reputation score along with the reputation key in either the new reputation record or the corresponding reputation record; and filtering one or more electronic messages based on the calculated reputation score.

  • Patent number: 8668221
    Abstract: A device for coupling a vehicle to a trailer is provided. The device includes a base having a channel and a pair of side walls. The channel includes a mouth leading into a stop. The side walls are spaced apart from each other and the channel runs generally between the side walls. A catch is pivotally mounted between the side walls. The catch includes a mounting end, a catch end, and a contact surface. The catch end is pivotable between a first position, wherein the catch end abuts against the base; and a second position wherein the catch end is displaced from the base. The tow pin engages the contact surface of the catch and pivots the catch end towards the second position. The catch end returns to the first position so as to secure the tow pin between the catch end and the stop when the tow pin abuts against the stop.

  • Patent number: 8164456
    Abstract: A device for incrementally adjusting the position of an RFID tag includes a base, and a lid releasably attachable to said base. The base includes a generally planar surface in which a plurality of locators are formed at regular intervals. A portion of the RFID tag is received by one of the plurality of locators for incrementally adjusting of the position of the RFID tag. The plurality of locators extend collinearly and are formed overlapping so that the position of the RFID tag is adjustable in increments less than the overall length of the RFID tag.
