Abstract: A driver monitoring system includes a first control unit, a second control unit, and a camera system. The camera system is configured to acquire image data of a driver and to output information corresponding to the image data to the first and second control units. The first control unit is configured to define a predetermined driver state based on the information received from the camera system and to output the defined driver state to the second control unit. The second control unit is configured to subject the information received from the camera system to a first plausibility check, to subject the driver state received from the first control unit to a second plausibility check, and to output a control signal to an actuator system and/or an information output device based on a result of the first and second plausibility checks and the driver state.

Abstract: A pressurized container system for a motor vehicle includes a pressurized container configured to store a fuel, wherein the pressurized container system has a shut-off valve which is configured to interrupt, in a currentless state, a fluid connection between the pressurized container and at least one fuel gas consumer. A safety switch is configured to interrupt a power supply to the shut-off valve, where the safety switch is not an ignition switch of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A cloud based collaborative work environment enables users to work collaboratively within a shared workspace. An application server on a host device is accessible to client devices via a communication network and maintains the shared workspace for collaboration between users. Client applications hosted on client devices enable users of the workspace to access and make changes in the shared workspace, such as adding or deleting items to or from the workspace, editing or annotating existing items, viewing items in the workspace, or downloading items in the workspace. Local copies of the shared workspace are maintained by the client devices and are synchronized with the shared workspace maintained by the application server so that any changes made to by a user to its local copy of the shared workspace are propagated to other users. Thus, synchronization is maintained between master workspace and the local workspaces on the client devices.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for detecting malicious or unwanted software, or malicious or unauthorized access to cyber-physical system devices. The activity and applications on the device are analyzed by various methods including machine learning algorithms and the results are reported. Malicious or unwanted 5 activity or applications can be stopped by the device user or other authorized person.

Abstract: A peer-to-peer network enabled for folder sharing, wherein entire folders can be shared between peers.

Abstract: A file manager for a consumer electronic device enhances a user's experience in a computing environment by displaying a variety of content in a folder in a collage configuration. The content may be, for example, live applications and other files, and are collectively termed assets. The file manager also displays the content in a grid configuration for management purposes, and provides graphics tools to allow the user to artistically customize the display of the assets.

Abstract: A safety device for a motor vehicle including a front-end structure, a front bulkhead, which separates the front-end structure from an interior, and a brake apparatus fixed to the front bulkhead and including a brake cylinder, the brake cylinder includes a device for pivoting the brake apparatus, which device, in the event of a vehicle crash, interacts with structural elements disposed in the front-end structure. The safety of a driver present in the motor vehicle may be increased. The device for pivoting the brake apparatus includes a fastening portion and a slide portion with a slide plane.

Abstract: A system and method for producing computer user interfaces by layered image compositing and procedural imaging. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides photorealistic images using compact, efficient software routines that are easily customizable and have full-scalability. The layered image compositing system and method for user interfaces include elements having a pivot coordinate system based on a parent-child relationship and intelligent invalidation mechanism.
