Abstract: An interactive toy comprising a function device for performing user-perceptible, controllable functions. The interactive toy also includes a rechargeable power source and a charging circuit for contactless receipt of electrical energy and for charging the rechargeable power source when the interactive toy is positioned in a charging zone of a contactless charging device. The interactive toy is adapted to determine a charging rate at respective positions relative to the charging device and to generate a user-perceptible output indicative of the determined charging rate.

Abstract: A driver monitoring system of a vehicle includes: a camera configured to capture an image of a driver on a driver's seat within a passenger cabin of the vehicle; a gaze module configured to determine a gaze vector based on a direction of pupils of the driver in the image; an area module configured to determine an area on a vertical plane in front of the driver based on a road in front of the vehicle; a location module configured to determine a location on the vertical plane where the gaze vector intersects the vertical plane; and a monitor module that determines whether the location on the vertical plane where the gaze vector intersects the vertical plane is within the area on the vertical plane.

Abstract: A portable medical unit that is used during the medical procedures of extracting blood from and giving needles to children. The unit provides a concealed work area with storage pockets; a vinyl cushion arm rest; and straps to retain the child's arm during the above noted procedures. The unit features distraction elements such as a painted clown's face and an opening through the mouth where the child inserts his/her arm. When not in use, the work area remains concealed with a flap that opens only when the child's arm is inserted into the mouth. Also featured is the clown's hair which is made of synthetic material, is brightly colored, and offers a tactile distraction. The nose of the clown connects to a pumping system which, when the child squeezes inflates a balloon that is connected to the pumping system by a tube. The balloon can be removed and given to the child as a reward for good behavior. When open the two forms are secured in place by locking hinges.
