Abstract:

An instrument ( ) has a well ( ) for receiving a dry cell ( ), an opening ( ) through which a first connector ( ) is exposed to the well ( ), and a boss ( ) adjacent the opening ( ). The boss ( ) precludes the wrong terminal of the dry cell ( ) from engaging the first connector ( ) when the dry cell ( ) is inserted into the well ( ) in incorrect orientation. A second connector ( ) includes a base ( ), a first leg ( ) resiliently connected to and extending away from the base portion, a second leg ( ) resiliently connected to and extending away from the first leg ( ), and a third leg ( ) resiliently connected to and extending away from the second leg ( ) and toward the first leg ( ). A display ( ) for the instrument ( ) has a lens ( ) having a substantially transparent substrate with a polyurethane coating. The instrument housing has first and second portions. At least one locator pin ( ) extends from one ( ) of the housing portions and at least one complementary socket ( ) extends from the other ( ) of the housing portions for receiving the pin ( ) to maintain the first ( ) and second ( ) portions in assembled orientation.

Abstract:

A vehicle vision system displays a vehicle pathway image that includes a reticle for visually identifying the in-path portion of the image. A reticle array is disposed between a video camera chip and a lens, and includes a conical or frustro-conical region of substantially un-attenuated light transmissivity surrounded by a region of perceptibly attenuated light transmissivity, such that in-path portions of the displayed image are substantially unchanged and out-of-path portions of the displayed image are perceptibly attenuated. The reticle array may also include a number of reduced transmissivity lines traversing its conical or frustro-conical region to produce a series of receding stadia lines in the in-path portion of the displayed image, enabling the driver to reliably discern the range of displayed objects.

Inventors:

MICHAEL RAY - Dallas TX, US

International Classification:

B65D 43/14

US Classification:

220812

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a portable storage box comprising: a lower portion, where said lower portion includes a base and four sidewalls, where said sidewalls form a storage space; and a lid, where said lid covers the storage space. The lid may be slidably coupled to at least two sidewalls through a channel or a depression configured on a top portion of the at least two sidewalls. In another exemplary embodiment, the lid may be hingedly coupled to one of the sidewalls. The lid may also include a holding mechanism configured on a top surface thereof for manipulating, such as holding and sliding, the lid. Exemplary embodiments o the holding mechanism may include a clip or an aperture configured in the top surface of the lid.

International Classification:

H04H 20/88

US Classification:

381 2

Abstract:

Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for audio data processing. In some examples, a 3-dimensional audio projection method includes receiving a first set of audio transmissions, each of the audio transmissions in the first set of audio transmissions comprises audio data and location data; determining, for each of the audio transmissions in the first set of audio transmissions, a relative location of the audio transmission based on a location of a receiver and the location data; and projecting, for each of the audio transmissions in the first set of audio transmissions, the audio data to a user in a 3-dimensional format based on the relative location of the audio transmission.

International Classification:

G08B 21/00
H04N 7/18

US Classification:

348144

Abstract:

An integrated audiovisual threat warning system configured to detect a threat, estimate a relative location of origin of the threat with respect to a host platform with which the system is associated, and to warn an occupant of the host platform of the threat. The system includes an audio processor configured to receive a warning tone, geo-spatial coordinate data from the host platform, and the estimated relative location of origin of the threat, and to process the warning tone based on the geo-spatial coordinate data and the direction information to generate a directional audio warning signal. The system also includes a plurality of speakers configured to audibly project the directional audio warning signal to audibly identify the estimated relative location of origin of the threat, and a display control unit configured to display the estimated relative location of origin of the threat overlaid on a map.
