  • Publication number: 20230306756
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining an emotional state of a person in a motor vehicle. The method includes the following steps: recording (S1) environmental data using environmental sensors of the motor vehicle, the environmental data relating to an environment of the motor vehicle; recognizing (S2) various objects using the environmental data; assigning (S3) the objects to various classes; determining (S4), respectively, a number of the objects assigned to the respective classes; and determining (S5) the emotional state using the numbers and the classes.

  • Publication number: 20200116893
    Abstract: A method of detecting presence and location uses sensor data received from a plurality of thermopiles, each thermopile having a different field of view. In response to detecting a change in the sensor data, stored background values for each field of view are accessed and then the location of a body (e.g. a human or animal)is determined based on differences between the sensor data and sensor values predicted using a forward model and the stored background values for each field of view. Having determined the location, the stored background values are updated based on differences between the sensor data and the predicted sensor values for a body at the determined location.

  • Publication number: 20140120498
    Abstract: A dental implant with a receiver for dental mounting parts is disclosed. The receiver comprises at least one cylindrical wall portion and the dental implant has a support face perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, so that a corresponding first mounting part can be radially supported on the at least one cylindrical wall portion and axially on the support face. The receiver furthermore comprises at least one truncated-cone-shaped wall portion, on which a corresponding second mounting part can be radially and axially supported. A dental implant system is also disclosed, comprising the dental implant and at least one first and at least one second dental mounting part, which can selectively be connected to the dental implant.
