Abstract: A method of operating an audio entertainment system in a vehicle includes detecting an operating parameter of the vehicle. A sensor signal corresponding to the detected operating parameter is transmitted. Music that is audibly produced within the vehicle is musically modified dependent upon the sensor signal.

Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and/or apparatus relate to vehicle media and communications systems and/or providing communications network and/or satellite network access in a vehicle. Specifically, the disclosed methods, systems, devices and/or apparatus relate to providing access to data, communications and/or satellites using a modular vehicle media and communications system.

Abstract: The system includes a computer-readable memory having a data structure configured to store information about a time-based event for a patient having reduced cognitive abilities, and optionally also electronic data reflecting the patient's cognitive ability. A networked computer system coupled to the computer-readable memory provides an information communicating interface to the patient. The computer system is programmed to monitor context information relevant to the patient and to dynamically adjust the presentation of the stored information based on the context, and optionally also based upon the patient's cognitive ability.

Abstract: The system includes a computer-readable memory having a data structure configured with electronic data indicative of the patient's cognitive ability and/or context information relevant to the patient. The computer system is programmed to dynamically present information based on the patient's cognitive ability and/or context, obtained by accessing the computer-readable memory. The system is thus able to dynamically customize the way the system interacts with the patient, dynamically rendering information and automatically launching specific applications and events based on set parameters to meet the assistive needs of the patient. The system also captures information about the patient's health and wellbeing which is dynamically communicated to the caregiver, which information is also in part based on cognitive ability of the patient and/or context.

Abstract: A method of operating a single-tuner radio includes tuning into a first frequency. A pause in a first signal associated with the first frequency is detected. Tuning is switched from the first frequency to a second frequency. A signal quality metric for the second frequency is measured. Tuning is switched from the second frequency to the first frequency.
