  • Patent number: 10852725
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for executing an event pertaining to a vehicle and a user of the vehicle are presented. In some embodiments, a includes (a) detecting that a motion state of the vehicle is in a first state, (b) detecting a condition that warrants a change in the motion state of the vehicle to a second state, and (c) detecting the user of the vehicle's engagement in an activity that potentially impairs the user from performing an action to change the motion state of the vehicle to the second state. The method also includes, detecting the condition, and (c) detecting the user of the vehicle's engagement in the activity, executing an event to facilitate the change in the motion state of the vehicle to the second state.

  • Publication number: 20180345789
    Abstract: Examples of the disclosure are directed to infotainment playback control. The system can be capable of returning to a previous time in audio/video in response to one or more user inputs, one or more changes in vehicle conditions, or both. In some examples, once the user has heard or seen one or more segments beginning at the previous time, the infotainment system can return to the stop time. Returning to the stop time can be immediate, gradual, or at a fixed speed. In some examples, returning to the stop time can be automatic. In some examples, returning to the stop time can be responsive to one or more user inputs. In some examples, once the user has heard or seen one or more segments of the previous time, the infotainment system can fast-forward to a “live” time.

  • Publication number: 20180143029
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system for vehicles that detects and gathers information about of a vehicle to determine a route that accounts for charging a vehicle. The system is configured to obtain remaining charge of a battery, identify present occupants of the vehicle, obtain characteristics of the occupants, identify charging stations located between present location of the vehicle and the specified destination, obtain characteristics of the charging stations, and determining a route for the vehicle to the specified destination based on the remaining charge of the battery, the characteristics of the present occupants, and the characteristics of the charging stations. The system can also determine routes without a specified destination. This includes alerting for low charge and providing range estimates so that the vehicle remains within range of a charging station.

  • Publication number: 20080043102
    Abstract: A surveillance system can include a first sensor apparatus configured to interrogate a subject, including a person and objects carried by the person, with millimeter-wave electromagnetic radiation for imaging the subject. A supplemental source provides additional information about the subject that is relatable to objects potentially carried by the person. Relational information relates the produced image signal and the subject information. The supplemental source may be a second sensor apparatus adapted to detect a given characteristic of an object potentially carried by a person in the subject position. Relational information about whether the person is carrying an object having the given characteristic may then be produced.

  • Publication number: 20060164286
    Abstract: A subject may be interrogated with electromagnetic radiation for producing image data representative of an image of the subject. First and second image data, produced based on reflectivity in first and second frequency ranges, may be related. In some examples, image data for one picture element may be produced based at least in part on reflectivity of the radiation at a depth selected based at least in part on a depth of another picture element. In some examples, plural images may be produced based on reflectivity at different depths. In some examples, a value of reflectivity may be determined for an intermediate depth between two adjacent depths of image data based at least in part on reflectivity of the radiation for a plurality of spaced-apart depths.

  • Publication number: 20050231415
    Abstract: An imaging system can include an antenna apparatus configured to transmit toward and receive from a subject in a subject position, millimeter-wave electromagnetic radiation. A subject may include a person and any object or objects with the person. A controller can include a transceiver configured to operate the antenna apparatus and produce an output representative of the received radiation, and a processor adapted to produce from the transceiver output, image data representative of an image of the subject. At least a first portion of an image signal representative of radiation received by an antenna apparatus may be used to produce first image data representative of a first image of at least a portion of the subject. Second image data representative of a second image having resolution that is different than that of the first image may be produced from at least a second portion of the image signal.
