  • Patent number: 11386325
    Abstract: A vehicle device may execute one or more neural networks (and/or other artificial intelligence), based on input from one or more of the cameras and/or other sensors, to intelligently detect safety events in real-time. The one or more neural networks may be an ensemble neural network that includes neural networks for detecting a head and hand of a user, neural networks for detecting hand actions of the user, neural networks for detecting the head pose of the user, neural networks for predicting an occurrence of an event, and neural networks for predicting a start time and end time of the event. Further, the neural networks can be segmented into a modular neural network based on metadata. The segmentation of the neural network can define a thin layer of the modular neural network to enable independent tuning of the thin layer of the modular neural network.

  • Patent number: 11380294
    Abstract: A keyless synthesizer t can stimulate all three senses (hearing, muscle movement and visual) at once in patients born with C.H.A.R.G.E. syndrome while they play and, at the same time, enjoy and have fun with the device. A keyless synthesizer operational by a single hand of the user includes an ultrasound range sensor responsive to the distance “d” of a user's hand from the sensor for generating a sensor signal corresponding to the distance “d”. A programmable microcontroller programmed to convert the sensor signal to one of a plurality of discrete signals. A synthesizer is responsive to each discrete signal for generating a discrete tone. A multi-color generator is responsive to each discrete signal for generating a discrete color so that for each discrete signal corresponding to a distance “d” both a discreet tone and an associated discreet color are generated.

  • Patent number: 11276979
    Abstract: A continuous optical beat laser element for generating terahertz (THz) waves and a laser source using same includes periodically poled lithium niobate (ppLN) crystals arranged along a predetermined direction forming a surface generally parallel to the predetermined direction. A Ti diffused region is applied on the surface and an array of gold nanowires are applied on the Ti diffused region to form a gold metal-insulator-metal (MIM) element that optimizes coupling and channeling of THz radiation from the crystals into the gold nanowires. The system provides a simple, stable, compact and cost-effective THz source using a widely tunable C-band SOA-based laser to excite a non-linear photo-mixer to produce terahertz radiation that ranges from 0.8 to 2.51 THz at room temperature. This laser source can be modified into an all fiber-based THz generator by embedding ppLN crystals in a fiber filament configuration resulting in less absorption and producing high output power.
