Abstract: Responsive to determining that a quality of a V2V connection between a host vehicle and a target does not satisfy a threshold, a following position of the host vehicle relative to the target and whether the following position is within a predicted null position of the V2V connection and closer to the target than a selected position are determined. The following position is then controlled based on whether the following position is within the predicted null position and whether the following position is closer to the target than the selected position. By controlling the following position based on the quality of the V2V connection and the null position, more-reliable V2V connections may be maintained, thus enabling better performance of downstream operations.

Abstract: Described are techniques and systems for secure camera based IMU calibration for stationary systems, including vehicles. Existing vehicle camera systems are employed, with enhanced security to prevent malicious attempts by hackers to try and cause a vehicle to enter IMU calibration mode. IMU calibration occurs when a calibration system determines the vehicle is parked in a controlled environment; calibration targets are positioned at different viewing angles to vehicle cameras to act as sources of optical patterns of encoded data. Features of the patterns are for security as well as for alignment functionality. Images of the calibration targets enable inference of a vehicle coordinate system, from which calculations for IMU mounting error compensations are performed. A relative rotation between the IMU and the vehicle coordinate system are applied to IMU data to compensate for relative rotations between the vehicle and the IMU, thereby improving vehicle slope and bank metrics.

Abstract: In some examples, a gesture configuration component provides for different ways to interpret gestures made by a user to specify various parameters of control settings to modify system or application settings. For instance, a user may change display settings for one or more display devices, such as resolution, orientation, and display arrangements. Further, in some cases, the gesture configuration component may perform configuration changes while providing a live preview of the changes being made.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically signing a user on to an integration application when a user signs on to another application and signing a user off when the user signs off of the other application. The integration application automatically non-programmatically collects data from a mapped location of a mapped source reference of the other application. The collected data includes a user identifier value. The integration continuously monitors the collected user identifier value for a difference in the collected user identifier value. If the collected user identifier value is recognized by the integration application, the user is signed into the integration application using the collected user identifier value, and if a difference in the collected user identifier value is detected, the user is signed off of the integration application.

Abstract: Methods and systems for retrieving information from an unrelated application that includes receiving automatically, non-programmatically collected application data from a mapped location of a mapped source reference of the unrelated application; querying a computer-readable storage medium collected application data without user intervention; retrieving identifying data associated with documents stored in the computer-readable storage medium based upon the query; monitoring the collected application data from the mapped location for a change in the collected application data; and upon detecting the change, re-querying the computer-readable storage medium using the changed collected application data and retrieving identifying data associated with the documents based upon the re-query.

Abstract: Methods and systems for collaborating when one or more other users view or access the same, similar, or otherwise data. The collaboration method includes automatically non-programmatically collecting application data from a first mapped location of a mapped source reference of an application used by a first user and automatically non-programmatically collecting application data from a second mapped location of a mapped source reference of an application used by a second user. The integration application determines whether the collected application data from the first mapped location matches the collected application data from the second mapped location, and if the first collected application data matches the second collected application data, that integration application automatically notifies at least one of the first user and second user. The match determination may occur when the users are simultaneously accessing the data or at different times.

Abstract: Integration applications and methods non-programmatically collect application data from a mapped source reference of an application. The integration application retrieves at least one of a document and a list of documents associated with the first collected application data for display on a user interface and monitors the collected application data from the mapped location for a difference with a subsequently collected application data. Upon detecting a difference, the integration application removes at least one of a document and the list of documents from the user interface. The integration application may automatically notify a user of the difference using a visual indicator or an audio signal. The integration application may modify the appearance of at least one of a document and the list of documents on a user interface.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for providing custom product support for a computer program based on levels of execution instability. The execution of a software program is monitored over a period of time to determine the execution stability of the program. Based upon the monitoring and upon one or more threshold levels of instability, the execution stability of the program is categorized. Based upon the categorization, custom program support may be provided for a user of the computer system executing the program. For instance, based on the categorization free or reduced fee product support may be provided.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus are provided for identifying unresponsive portions of a computer program. According to the method, program code that can potentially result in unresponsive behavior is wrapped in timers. A timer is started on a background thread at the beginning of the execution of a section of program code. The timer is set to expire after a specified threshold period of time has expired. A determination is made as to whether the timer expires during the execution of the section of program code. If the timer expires during the execution of the section of program code, execution is interrupted and the section of program code is identified as unresponsive and system state information is stored for use in diagnosing the computer program and remedying the unresponsive behavior. The actual system state information stored may be defined by a remote control file and may be stored at or around the time the timer expires.
