Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI

International Classification:

G05D 1/00
G05D 3/00
G06F 7/00
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

701 2, 701 1, 701 36, 455 301, 455 305, 455517, 4555561, 4555562, 37910201, 37910202

Abstract:

A remote call center utilizes both cell phone and satellite communication networks to transmit data messages to a vehicle equipped with both a telematics module and a SDAR module. The telematics module and the SDAR module are both coupled to a vehicle data bus, and a software communication token containing a current budget is assigned to a selected module in response to a vehicle turn-off event. The module possessing the communication token determines the available signal strength on its respective communication network. If the available signal strength is adequate for reliable data communication with the call center, the module retains possession of the token and periodically wakes-up to check for incoming messages from the call center. If the available signal strength is inadequate, the module possessing the token passes the token to the other module, after which that module periodically wakes-up to check for incoming messages from the call center.

International Classification:

H04H 1/00

US Classification:

455 302, 455 306, 4554142, 4554563

Abstract:

A device and a method are provided for receiving items of product information over a satellite digital audio radio (SDAR) network and locally storing the information therein. A mobile device is provided that comprises a control section and mobile information storage in electrical communication with the control section. The control section is adapted to communicate the items of product information received over the SDAR network to said mobile information storage.

Appl. No.:

11/149807

Inventors:

Daniel Farrow - Noblesville IN, US

International Classification:

H04B 1/16
H04B 1/38
H04M 1/00

US Classification:

455574000, 455343100, 455566000

Abstract:

The power consumed by a light source associated with a device can be reduced by selectively influencing the activation and deactivation of the light source. A label associated with a unit of content that is “playable” on the device can selectively influence the activation and deactivation of the device. By a way of example, a light source associated with a satellite radio could automatically turn on when a new song starts to play. Different embodiments can involve vastly different types of content, remote devices, and activation/deactivation triggers.

Inventors:

Daniel Farrow - Noblesville IN, US

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705026000

Abstract:

A system and method for distributing media content. Transactions for the purchase of content units can be consummated while users sample the content through a player device. For example, a listener of satellite radio could decide to purchase a song currently being played on the receiver. In some embodiments, content can be downloaded on a back channel before the sampling activities are complete (e.g. before the song is finished).

US Classification:

348 77

Abstract:

Described are imaging apparatus and methods for imaging an area of interest, such as selected regions on a surface of a human or other living subject, by thermal and non-thermal means. Methods of using the apparatus to detect and monitor wounds in an area of interest on a subject are also described. The apparatus and methods have particular utility for detection and monitoring of ulcerations and general wound degradations, as well as of conditions that could result in formation of such lesions.
