Appl. No.:

7/048100

International Classification:

G06K 936

US Classification:

382 56

Abstract:

An adaptive image acquisition system employing a hand-held optical scanner or camera is disclosed. The system includes an adaptive camera exposure control system to adjust the camera exposure time to the media's reflectivity characteristics. The system assembles a "filmstrip" of images from compressed video data, wherein redundant image data appearing in successive image frames has been removed. The system employs a correlation process between successive frames to identify the redundant frame information and determined the camera velocity. By adapting the correlation process to the velocity of the camera, the effects of variations in the velocity may be substantially eliminated.

Appl. No.:

6/052169

Inventors:

Michael E. Jacobs - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

A45F 500

US Classification:

224257

Abstract:

A guitar harness that stabilizes the guitar in any of a wide range of desired positions. While the player may raise the guitar neck when desired, the instrument is prevented from assuming a position with the neck lower than a preset angular position. The harness utilizes first and second strap segments, each of which has means at its respective ends for attachment to first and second anchor points on the instrument. The first strap segment passes from the first anchor point diagonally upwardly across the back of the player and over the player's shoulder to the second anchor point in the manner of a conventional guitar strap. The second strap segment extends from the first anchor point, across the player's stomach (between the stomach and the guitar body), around the player's back, and then across the player's chest to the second anchor point. In the preferred embodiment, the harness comprises a single long strap having first and second fittings at opposite ends for attachment to the first anchor point, and a third fitting at an intermediate position on the strap to define the two strap segments, the third fitting being adapted to fasten to the second anchor point. A V-shaped buckle provides an improved self-locking and yet slidably adjustable mounting for holding the third fitting at the intermediate point on the strap.

H04W 4/024
H04W 4/029
G01C 21/34

Abstract:

A system and method of providing information about a transport service to user devices are described. The system arranges a transport service for a first user and a second user. The system determines first data corresponding to a first route from a location of a driver device of the driver to a first pickup location of the first user and second data corresponding to a second route from the first pickup location to a second pickup location of the second user. A combined route is determined based on the first data and the second data. The system transmits data associated with the first data without transmitting the data corresponding to the combined route to a first user device of the first user, and transmits data corresponding to the combined route to a second user device of the second user.

Appl. No.:

16/193840

Inventors:

Michael Jahangir Jacobs - Palo Alto CA, US

International Classification:

G08B 13/196

Abstract:

A plurality of mobile communications devices () are distributed within a defined environment (), which may be a hospital, correctional facility, school, public building, or private building. The locations of the mobile communications devices () within the defined environment () are precisely determined using a network of beacons () having known fixed locations within the defined environment (). The mobile communications devices () communicate with the fixed beacons () using any suitable wireless protocol, such as the Bluetooth protocol. In preferred embodiments, each beacon () knows its precise location within the defined environment () by assigning x and y coordinates to the beacon () on a site map of the defined embodiment (). In preferred embodiments, each mobile communications device () comprises a processor configured to monitor inputs relating to mental health, safety, and/or wellness from a plurality of reporting devices () that are also situated within the defined environment (). At least one of these inputs can comprise a floor plan or map of the defined environment (), whereby the mobile communications device () is enabled to send the floor plan or map to at least one receiver () situated outside the confines of the defined environment (). First responders have access to said receiver ().
