| 181 | ELECTRO-OPTICAL DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICE WITH A GESTURE-BASED MEASUREMENT TRIGGER THAT FUNCTIONS WITHOUT CONTACTING THE MEASURING DEVICE | US13985061 | 2012-03-22 | US20140002806A1 | 2014-01-02 | Sven Büchel |
| The invention relates to an electro-optical distance measuring device for measuring distances in a contactless manner, comprising at least one laser distance-measuring module, which has a laser source for emitting an optical measuring light beam in the direction of an object and which has a receiver for detecting reflected portions of the optical measuring light beam, and comprising an analyzing and control unit for determining a distance on the basis of the received portions of the optical measuring light beam. According to the invention, criteria are defined and stored which characterize a determined gesture for triggering the distance measurement, said gesture being carried out by a user using a test body that crosses the measuring light beam in an encoded manner. Additionally, the analyzing and control unit is designed to carry out a measurement-triggering gesture mode in which reflected portions of the optical measuring light beam are continuously detected automatically and the continuously detected reflected portions are analyzed with respect to characteristic variables, said variables being dependent on a gesture that crosses the measuring light beam by means of a test body in an encoded manner. The characteristic variables are used to test whether said variables correspond to the defined criteria so that the gesture that is carried out by the user is identified as the gesture for triggering the distance measurement if the characteristic variables correspond to the criteria. Finally, a measurement of the distance to the object can be automatically triggered in response to an identification of the gesture for triggering the distance measurement. | ||||||

| A system and method for assessing the probability of detection of a target of a hyperspectral sensing system. The system is adapted to calculate the probability of detection of targets based on various sensor parameters, atmospheric conditions, and a specified combination of targets and backgrounds for a given false alarm rate. The system may be executed, for example, on an IBM compatible PC to allow the user to optimize the hyperspectral sensor and subsequent signal processing to a particular set of backgrounds and targets. The sensor models, atmospheric models and target and background profiles are initially applied to the system in the form of the databases. As such, the system enables the user to select among the various parameters to optimize a hyperspectral sensor and the subsequent signal processing for a particular set of parameters. | ||||||
| 200 | Method and apparatus for deploying airbags | US10180466 | 2002-06-26 | US20020166710A1 | 2002-11-14 | David S. Breed |
| Apparatus and method for deploying airbags in a vehicle in which a first inflatable airbag protects an occupant in a seating location during a crash and a second inflatable airbag moves the occupant in the seating location away from an interior surface of the vehicle upon inflation. A crash sensor system determines that a crash involving the vehicle will occur or is occurring and initiates inflation of the first and second airbags. The second airbag may be inflated prior to inflation of the first airbag such that inflation of the second airbag causes the occupant to be moved away from the interior surface of the vehicle and into a better position for deployment of the first airbag. In one exemplary embodiment, the first airbag is a side curtain airbag and the second airbag is arranged in a door of the vehicle to move the occupant away from the door. | ||||||
