  • Patent number: 11876980
    Abstract: A vehicle adapted to be remotely driven via a wireless communication network comprises a capturing unit for capturing live video data of the vehicle's environment, a video encoding unit for video encoding the captured live video data, a transmission unit for transmitting the encoded live video data via the wireless communication network, and a control unit for controlling the video encoding unit and/or the transmission unit. The control unit controls the video encoding unit to optimize the video encoding of the captured live video data and/or to control the transmission unit to optimize the transmission of the encoded live video data. The controlling is based on one, two or all of: (i) pre-determined location information associated with a current location of the vehicle; (ii) real-time driving information associated with current driving parameters of the vehicle, and; (iii) real-time environment information associated with a current environment of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10622296
    Abstract: A circuitized substrate for mounting at least one electronic component having a plurality of terminals. The circuitized substrate includes a first portion of electrical insulating material embedding a first electric circuit for coupling a first subset of the terminals. The first electric circuit including one or more patterned conductive layers of electrically conductive material extending parallel to a plane of the circuitized substrate. The circuitized substrate further includes a second portion of electrically conductive material. One or more insulating elements of electrical insulating material cross the second portion transversally to the plane to insulate a plurality of conductive elements thereof for coupling a second subset of the terminals. One or more auxiliary components of the electronic component are mounted on the second portion. Each auxiliary component having a first terminal and a second terminal coupled with a first one and a second one, respectively, of a pair of the conductive elements.
