  • Patent number: 12115936
    Abstract: A distributed biometric vehicle entry system is configured to provide personalized biometric authentication for vehicle entry. The system utilizes an authentication token private key challenge generated a biometric wireless vehicle entry keypad, or a passive device such as a smartphone or fob, such that it would be insufficient for an intruder to simply jump the circuit with an external battery. The biometric authentication may be localized to an embedded system within the biometric vehicle entry keypad, and may be self-contained from all other vehicle systems with a wireless vehicle interface and independent power supply. The vehicle may grant access responsive to receiving the authentication token (and only the authentication token) whenever a valid biometric signature is recognized.

  • Patent number: 11710023
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a permanently attached UHF band RFID tire tag and a manufacturing method thereof, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a permanently attached UHF band RFID tire tag and a manufacturing method thereof, which is attached to a tire surface during the manufacturing process of a tire in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, enabling the management of tire manufacturing history from the beginning of the production to product shipment, and thereafter, the durability is maintained even in the flexing motion of a tire that occurs while the tire is installed and operated in a vehicle such that chip damage of a tag and tag detachment from the tire do not occur, and therefore, it enables RFID communication to be performed without obstacles until the end of a tire life.

  • Patent number: 11700445
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining faces and bodies of people in an image by adaptively scaling images and by iteratively using a deep neural network for inferencing. A camera captures an image including faces and bodies of people. A face/body determiner determines faces and bodies of people appearing in the image by resizing the image into a predetermined pixel dimension as input to the deep neural network. A region cropper determines a crop region associated with a low level of confidence in detecting faces and bodies that are too small to determine with an acceptable level of confidence. The region cropper resizes the crop region into the predetermined pixel dimension as input to the deep neural network. The face and body determiner determines other faces and bodies appearing in the resized crop region. An aggregator aggregates locations of the determined faces and bodies in the image.
