Abstract: Sensing systems and methods for sensing a stationary individual. A sensing system may use a first sensor to determine whether a detected thermal signature is associated with a human presence within a space. When the detected thermal signature is not associated with a human presence, the sensing system may repeat the determining whether a detected thermal signature is associated with a human presence. When the detected thermal signature is associated with a human presence, the sensing system may determine whether motion has been detected using a second sensor. In some cases, the first sensor may be a thermal sensor that can detect a human whether the moving or not, and the second sensor may be a motion sensor that only detects motion.

Abstract: A shifter assembly for a vehicle that includes a shift lever connected to a shifter in communication with the vehicle and a transmission. A display is positioned on the shift lever indicating data of the vehicle or transmission. A start button is positioned on the shift lever and is linked with an ignition of the vehicle.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for storing a document. The document is created by using a set of template pages. The method, in a data storage structure, creates a first prototype section for storing information for the template pages. The method also, in the data storage structure, creates a second section for storing a set of content for the document. In some embodiments, the template pages are provided by a word-processing application. In some embodiments, the information for the template pages includes text information, image information, and thumbnail information. In some embodiments, a word-processing application utilizes the stored thumbnails in the prototypes section to generate a visual representation of a template page contents to a user to assist the user in creating a document. In some embodiments, the template pages further include stylesheet information, headers information, and footers information.

Abstract: An automated calling card is provided having internal means for generating audible tones representative of a telephone number or calling card number to be dialed. A small, card-shaped unit houses a microprocessor or logic circuitry, including means for inputting data, memory, means for generating tones, a speaker and a display. Telephone numbers and information pertaining thereto can be stored into memory through use of a keypad on the card. A calling card number is also stored in memory. In use, audible tones representative of a telephone and/or calling card number desired to be dialed are generated by the card. Use of a Personal Identification Number prohibits unauthorized access to features of the card.
