Abstract: A method and a system for influencing an optical output of image data on an output device in a vehicle. A viewing direction of a driver of the vehicle is determined. If the determined viewing direction is directed to the output device, the optical output of the image data is faded down with an average fading out rate DOWN. The fading out rate DOWN defines a temporal decrease in the optical perceptibility of the output image data by a human. If the determined viewing direction is directed towards the output device and is directed away from the output device, the optical output of the image data is faded up with an average fading in rate UP. The fading in rate UP defines a temporal increase of the optical perceptibility of the output image data by a human.

Abstract: A network mechanism for a communication network, e.g., Ethernet environment, includes a first control mechanism with an assigned first physical port and a second control mechanism with an assigned second physical port, the first and the second physical port being configured to receive and send data via a transmission medium. The network mechanism is configured such that transmitted data from the first control mechanism are coupled by an internal transmit connector of the first control mechanism via the first physical port into the transmission medium and received data at the second physical port are routed to an internal receive connector of the first control mechanism. Alternatively, received data can be routed crosswise to the other control mechanism, i.e., the control mechanism not assigned to the receiving physical port. The crosswise routing enables the formation of two independent ring-shaped communication paths of different transmit/receive directions within a single physical ring-shaped network.

Abstract: A system is provided with a ranging transmitter and receiver pair or a transceiver pair. The system classifies a group of radio frequency (RF) channels between ranging transmitter and receiver pairs. In a first scenario, a ranging transmitter transmits at least three channels to an active reflecting receiver. A ranging receiver then receives reflected instances of the at least three transmitted channels from the active reflecting receiver. A processor of the system then determines a ranging measurement between the ranging transmitter and the active reflecting receiver based on measured phase changes and received signal strength and assigns a classification to the determined ranging measurement indicating a relative level of accuracy for the determined ranging measurement. The classification may be a general classification, a linearity classification, a multipath classification, or a combination classification that is based on both a linearity classification and a multipath classification.
