Paul Morris - Ann Arbor MI, US

Assignee:

VISTEON GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES INC. - Van Buren Township MI

International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

348 78, 348E07085

Abstract:

A system and method for providing information to a driver of a vehicle includes: an image-capture device; a head or eye-gaze tracker; at least one processor; and an output device. The image-capture device captures an image of an environment external to a vehicle. The head or eye-gaze tracker determines an item a driver of the vehicle is viewing. The at least one processor processes the captured image. The at least one processor also translates language contained in the captured image of the item the driver is viewing to a second language, or determines point-of-interest information based on the captured image of the item the driver is viewing. The output device outputs information containing the second translated language of the captured image of the item the driver is viewing, or containing the determined point-of-interest information based on the captured image of the item the driver is viewing.

Inventors:

Dinu Petre Madau - Canton MI, US
Matthew Mark Mikolajczak - Novi MI, US
Paul Morris - Ann Arbor MI, US

Assignee:

VISTEON GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Van Buren Twp. MI

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715810

Abstract:

An adaptive display system includes a display component to present an image to a user, a sensor for detecting a vision characteristic of the user and generating a sensor signal representing the vision characteristic of the user; and a processor in communication with the sensor and the display component, wherein the processor receives the sensor signal, analyzes the sensor signal based upon an instruction set to determine the vision characteristic of the user, and controls a visual output of the display component based upon the vision characteristic of the user.

Paul Morris - Ann Arbor MI, US

Assignee:

VISTEON GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Van Buren Twp. MI

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345156

Abstract:

An adaptive display system includes a user interface having a display for generating a visual output to a user, a sensor for capturing an image of a tracking region of the user and generating a sensor signal representing the captured image, and a processor in communication with the sensor and the display, wherein the processor receives the sensor signal, analyzes the sensor signal based upon an instruction set to determine a displacement of the tracking region of the user, and controls a visual indicator presented on the display based upon the displacement of the tracking region of the user.

Filed:

Dec 1, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/211760

Inventors:

Paul E. Morris - Mission Viejo CA
Leo J. Lichte - Riverside CA

Assignee:

Shiley, Inc. - Gillette CA

International Classification:

A61F 122

US Classification:

3 15

Abstract:

This invention relates to the electrochemical machining of integrally formed prosthetic heart valve structures in which both the structural integrity of the valve and the blood flow through the valve is improved as a result of the integral formation of the valve structure. In particular, such heart valves comprise a ring and a pendant structure, such as a strut, for supporting the opening and closing of a discoid valve occluder. Integral formation of the strut with the ring permits the cross-sectional shape of the strut to be machined without overheating and distortion to conform to a teardrop shape having favorable fluid-dynamic characteristics thereby improving the flow of blood through the valve across the strut. The integral formation of the strut with the ring further results in the elimination of the weld fillet between the strut and the ring, thereby permitting the height of the ring to be reduced, which further improves the fluid dynamic characteristics of the valve. The overall structural integrity of the heart valve structure is also improved by the shape of the strut which permits the increase in the total cross-sectional area of the strut while retaining the favorable fluid flow characteristics of the valve.

International Classification:

G06F 3/01
G09G 5/10

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and devices for employing gaze tracking systems with automatic luminance adjustment devices, in particular those commonly used with the Silverstein-method. By employing the aspects disclosed herein, it can been seen that with the disclosed concepts a pupil-size detector may be employed with both a forward looking light sensor, and ambient light sensor, and an adjustment system to utilize the data to determine luminance adjustment.
