20090135253Camera System for a Motor Vehicle - In the case of a camera system for a motor vehicle, incident radiation can be guided by way of one or more deflection mirrors to a camera, at least one deflection mirror being structurally coupled with a swivelable decorative part of the motor vehicle.05-28-2009
20100060487Motor Vehicle - A motor vehicle has an imaging device for generating an image of a radiation pattern on the terrain surrounding the motor vehicle. A detecting device is provided for the multiple sequential detection of images of the radiation patterns that are influenced by the terrain. A processor device is also provided. The processing device is designed such that an obstacle in the terrain is detected based on the difference between directly or indirectly sequentially detected images of the radiation pattern.03-11-2010
20100182432System for Monitoring the Environment of a Motor Vehicle - A system for monitoring the environment of a motor vehicle, includes imaging devices for taking a sequence of images, which sequence contains images of at least a part of the environment of the motor vehicle. A display unit reproduces at least one image detail of the image sequence in the vehicle interior. A device automatically changes the detail of the environment shown by the reproduction of the image detail by the display unit. One or more devices for determining at least one earlier position of the motor vehicle is provided, wherein the environmental detail can be automatically adapted as a function of the earlier position of the motor vehicle.07-22-2010
20100225762Method for Providing Driver Information in a Motor Vehicle - A method provides driver information in a motor vehicle, in which method a recording device of the motor vehicle captures an image flow containing images of at least one part of the environment of the motor vehicle. A display unit in the interior of the motor vehicle reproduces at least one image section of the image flow. A display control unit of the motor vehicle automatically modifies the environmental section shown to the driver by reproducing the image section using the display unit. During the reproduction of the image section, in addition to the representation of the environmental section, at least first optical information relating to the position of the environmental section relative to the motor vehicle is output to the driver.09-09-2010
20110175752Methods and Apparatuses for Informing an Occupant of a Vehicle of Surroundings of the Vehicle - Methods and apparatuses for informing an occupant of a vehicle of surroundings of the vehicle are provided. A recording unit of the vehicle generates at least two images, which contain different road sections of a road plane in the surroundings of the vehicle. The at least two images are processed by an image processing unit, which generates a depiction in which the at least two images are imaged on a virtual road plane that is displayed in perspective. The depiction is displayed on a display unit in the interior of the vehicle.07-21-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110031167METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCALPING FOOD PIECES - A method and apparatus for separating multiple food pieces and removing clumps from food pieces in order to process individual pieces for subsequent packaging includes a vibrating conveyor bed which receives a substantially continuous supply of a dried product, such as RTE cereal or another snack product, and delivers the dried product to a screen unit including a plurality of spaced slots through which only individual food pieces can pass for further processing. Prior to the screen unit, the bed can be provided with an upstanding deflector member which diverts the traveling food product away from a discharge chute and onto the screen unit. In any case, the screen unit includes an upwardly angling portion, extending away from the discharge chute, for retaining product which needs to be further processed, while the discharge chute also has an associated, raised lip for product retention purposes.02-10-2011

20090171577NAVIGATION SYSTEM IMPLEMENTING DYNAMIC ROUTE CORRECTION - A computer-implemented navigation method for implementation during a navigation routine for directing a user is provided. The navigation method comprises generating a navigation route. GPS signals are received and position fixes are derived from the GPS signals. The position fixes are stored and compared with the navigation route. A threshold value is determined based on the comparison of the position fixes with the navigation route. An updated navigation route is generated based on the plurality of position fixes distanced from the navigation route a distance greater than the threshold value and an updated navigation route is not generating based on the plurality of position fixes distanced from the navigation route a distance not greater than the threshold value. A mobile device for performing a navigation procedure is also provided.07-02-2009
20100251340SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING THIRD PARTY APPLICATION PROGRAM ACCESS TO USER INFORMATION VIA A NATIVE APPLICATION PROGRAM INTERFACE (API) - A method for managing third party application program access to user information via a particular native application program interface (API) is provided. The method includes providing a wrapped native API including a wrapper library and inspecting a third party application program for the presence of the wrapper library in an unmodified form. The application program is inspected to identify API calls. An identified API call to a circumventing API is instrumented by wrapping the circumventing API to generate a wrapped non-circumventing API and modifying the third party application program to redirect the identified API call from the circumventing API to the wrapped non-circumventing API. A request for a permission to access user information is received from the third party application program via the wrapper library executed on a user device. An authorization is received to provide the permission to access the user information, and the permission to access the user information is provided to the executed third party application program.09-30-2010
20100317368MOBILE DEVICE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A computer-implemented mobile device calling method is provided. The method includes detecting initiation of a communication between a first mobile device and a second mobile device and determining a current location of the first mobile device in response to initiation of the communication between the first mobile device and the second mobile device. The method further includes transmitting the current location of the first mobile device to the second mobile device in response to initiation of the communication between the first mobile device and the second mobile device. A system for managing distribution of location information between mobile devices is further provided.12-16-2010

20110280581SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING HIGH-POWER LASER BEAMS - A method of operating a high-output-power fiber laser system includes: time multiplexing a plurality of pulses, each pulse having a pulse width, and each having a different wavelength from a plurality of seed oscillators onto a single fiber; setting each pulse width to a width less than the phonon lifetime; separating in time each pulse from each other pulse so as to leave a gap between adjacent pulses; setting a time between pulses each having a common wavelength to a time longer than a round-trip time of flight through a fiber amplifier of pulses having the common wavelength; and injecting the plurality of pulses from the single fiber into the fiber amplifier. Also to disclosed is a system capable of performing the method.11-17-2011
