Abstract: Embodiments provide a system to detect abnormal breathing by a person, such as a baby, through a piece of clothing worn by the person. The piece of clothing may be adapted to include a sound sensor that can collect breathing sounds by the person. The piece of clothing may also be adapted to include an inflatable neck support that can be automatically inflated without the person's intervention. The breathing sound signals by the person can be processed for determining whether the person breathing abnormally. When it is determined that the person is breathing abnormally, an instruction to inflate the inflatable neck support of the clothing may be generated. Such an instruction can be transmitted to the clothing wirelessly to effectuate the inflation of the inflatable neck support so the person's incorrect breathing posture that causes the abnormal breathing can be addressed.

Abstract: A non-contact sensing system including a bio-radar sensor configured to detect a heart rate and/or a respiration rate of a user of a driving apparatus is provided. In some embodiments, a bio-radar sensor may be arranged in a seat of the driving apparatus. A processor may be provided in the driving apparatus to process the signals received from the bio-radar sensor. The processor can monitor the heart rate, respiration rate, and/or any other physiology signs of the user. The processor can compare the detected heart rate and/or the respiration rate of the user with a preset heart rate threshold of the user. The processor can determine whether the heart rate and/or the respiration rate of the user is abnormal. In some embodiments, the processor can be configured to transmit a status indicating the heart rate and/or respiration rate of the user is detected abnormal to a remote control center.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for increasing vehicle safety by determining whether a driver can operate a vehicle based on whether the physical status of the driver and the identity of the driver are acceptable. A first set of sensors may determine the physical status of the driver.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically parking a vehicle are described including receiving a request from a user to park a vehicle. A database including parking availability information is searched based at least in part on the request and location information associated with the user. An available parking space is determined based on the results of the search, and information related to the available parking space is sent to the user. When confirmation is received from the user indicating that that the vehicle is to be parked in the available parking space, a status of the available parking space is changed to unavailable, and guidance information related to the available space to the user. The vehicle then autonomously navigates to the parking space using the guidance information.
