Abstract: A sensor and a sensor network. The sensor comprises a switchable RC low-pass filter, an evaluation unit, a synchronization unit, and a two-wire interface. The two-wire interface is configured to be connected to a control device to receive an electrical supply voltage, provided by the control device, for supplying the sensor with electrical energy, to receive sync pulses superimposed on the supply voltage for synchronizing a data transmission from the control device, and to transmit data to the control device. The RC low-pass filter generates a reference signal by low-pass filtering an input signal, and to have a first time constant in a first mode and a second time constant in a second mode, wherein the second time constant is shorter than the first time constant. The evaluation unit stabilizes the reference signal by alternately switching the RC low-pass filter into the first mode and into the second mode.

Abstract: The disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods associated with generating images. An example method executed by a processor may include receiving, from a first vehicle, a first image based on a first field of view of objects located in a cabin area of the first vehicle and a second image based on a second field of view of objects located outside the first vehicle. The method may further include receiving, from a second vehicle, a third image based on a third field of view of objects located outside the second vehicle. A composite image may be generated based on the first image, the second image, and the third image. In one case, the composite image may be generated by superimposing at least a portion of the first image upon at least a portion of the second image and/or upon at least a portion of the third image.

Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods for controlling a geo-fence. Through the use of the geo-fence and through monitoring of connections between mobile devices and the vehicle, a geo-fence is dynamically enabled and disabled for a user of a vehicle and the geo-fence control system provides notifications to users of the vehicle.
