  • HEATSINKS AND THERMAL ARCHITECTURE OF AN IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE
    Publication number: 20240073499
    Abstract: A image capture device including: heat generating devices, one or more batteries, and a sensor heat spreader. The heat generating devices generate a thermal load. The sensor heat spreader is in thermal communication with one or more of the heat generating devices and extends from the one or more of the heat generating devices to the one or more batteries so that all or a portion of the thermal load is transferred to the one or more batteries.

  • Sensor data segmentation and virtualization
    Patent number: 11274939
    Abstract: First sensor data generated by a first of a plurality of sensors and at least second sensor data generated by at least a second of the plurality of sensors can be received by a sensor data broker executed by a processor. The sensor data broker can publish to at least a first virtual sensor the first sensor data as first published sensor data. The sensor data broker can publish to at least a second virtual sensor the second sensor data as second published sensor data.

  • Sensor data segmentation and virtualization
    Patent number: 10051060
    Abstract: A utilization by at least one virtual sensor of sensor data provided by at least one sensor can be monitored. A utilization of virtual sensor data by at least one application can be monitored. The virtual sensor data can generated by the at least one virtual sensor based on the sensor data. At least a first sensor data use parameter indicating the utilization of the virtual sensor data by the at least one application can be generated.
