  • Publication number: 20220097709
    Abstract: An automated lane change system for a motor vehicle includes one or more environmental sensors for generating an input signal indicative of a position of an object relative to the motor vehicle, with the object being disposed at a distance from the motor vehicle. The input signal is further indicative of a velocity of the object relative to the motor vehicle. The system further includes a steering wheel sensor generating a gripped signal, in response to a driver gripping a steering wheel. A controller generates an activation signal, in response to the controller receiving the input signal from the environmental sensor and the gripped signal from the steering wheel sensor. An actuator controls the steering wheel, a propulsion mechanism, and a braking mechanism for maneuvering the motor vehicle from a current driving lane to a target driving lane, in response to the actuator receiving the activation signal from the controller.

  • Publication number: 20220087639
    Abstract: A device and system for and methods of using an ultrasound probe housing containing ultrasound probes configured to produce images inside the body of a patient for procedures requiring needle or probe insertion. The ultrasound probe housing can be configured with a guide channel cut-out or aperture between the ambient side and body side of a patient. A needle guide assembly may be pivotally connected internal to the guide channel cut-out or aperture of the ultrasound probe housing at a pivot point such that during use the needle enters the patient through the needle guide assembly within the ultrasonic probe housing so that the needle can be visualized by the ultrasonic probes in real time. The ultrasound probe housing may also provide an adhesion or suction quality to the body side of the device to facilitate aspects of the invention.

  • Patent number: 11249770
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for provisioning client devices. A configuration file previously installed on the computing device can be read. The configuration file can contain a provisioning address. Then, a user account is automatically created using a predefined username and credential stored in the configuration file. Next, an enrollment request can be sent to the provisioning address to enroll the computing device with a provisioning service using the user account. In response, an enrollment response can be received from the provisioning service. The computing device can then be configured based upon the enrollment response.

  • Publication number: 20210304282
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for providing a temporal based platform for event action. In some embodiments, the platform is able to communicate and integrate into current applications for user activity interaction for action preparations. In this way, the system may integrate platform metrics into applications to generate an activities network based on temporal needs of a user event. Furthermore, the system may monitor the user utilization the activities and provide triggered responses based on the temporal event requirements. As such, the system may intervene within a known application or third party to provide triggered responses at variable term points based on user needs within an event.
