The present disclosure relates to a medical diagnostic and delivery device that includes a mouthguard, a dental brace or a denture. The device can be positioned within a mouth or a buccal cavity of a user. A housing of the device can be shaped to be removably secured within the buccal cavity of the user, for example, include grooves shaped and sized to match a dental bite of the user. The device includes a cartridge containing one more substances or medications configured to be delivered to a user in the form a liquid, particles, or fine mist. Any suitable first air medication can be contained within the cartridge such as epinephrine, blood thinners, painkillers, vitamins or any other suitable drugs for limiting the extent of injury.

In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed that accurately identify driver and passenger in-cabin activities that may indicate a biomechanical distraction that prevents a driver from being fully engaged in driving a vehicle. In particular, image data representative of an image of an occupant of a vehicle may be applied to one or more deep neural networks (DNNs). Using the DNNs, data indicative of key point locations corresponding to the occupant may be computed, a shape and/or a volume corresponding to the occupant may be reconstructed, a position and size of the occupant may be estimated, hand gesture activities may be classified, and/or body postures or poses may be classified. These determinations may be used to determine operations or settings for the vehicle to increase not only the safety of the occupants, but also of surrounding motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

A method is disclosed in which sensor information is obtained that is captured by at least one environment sensor of an unmanned vehicle. The sensor information represents at least one object parameter of an object that is moving relative to the unmanned vehicle. At least partly based on the at least one object parameter, it is determined whether a collision between the unmanned vehicle and the object is imminent. If it is determined that a collision between the unmanned vehicle and the object is imminent, at least partly based on the at least one object parameter, at least one triggering parameter is determined for triggering at least one crash cushion of the unmanned vehicle. The at least one crash cushion is triggered according to the at least one triggering parameter. The at least one crash cushion is triggered before the imminent collision.

Devices and methods prevent injection of a substrate current into the substrate Sub of a CMOS circuit. The devices detect the potential of a contact of the integrated CMOS circuit, compare the value of the potential detected with a reference value and connect the contact to a leakage circuit node for discharging the current such that same does not flow to ground via the parasitic bipolar lateral structure. The leakage circuit node can be connected to the reference potential line or to another line that has a higher potential than the reference potential line. This electrical connection is activated when the value of the potential of the contact is lower than or equal to a reference value.

An assembly for a vehicle includes a first seat and a second seat. The assembly includes a crossbar positioned between the first seat and the second seat. The assembly includes an airbag supported by the crossbar. The assembly includes a controller programmed to position the crossbar in a raised position in response to a detected occupant egress.

From a set of point data, a set of scattered rays is constructed. From the set of scattered rays, a set of ray slopes is computed. The set of ray slopes is mapped to a corresponding set of trigonometric functions. Using an optimization method, a parameter of the set of trigonometric functions is selected. Using an inverse of the set trigonometric functions, a vehicle mass corresponding to the set of point data is computed. Based on the vehicle mass, a threshold braking distance of a collision avoidance system of the vehicle is adjusted, the threshold braking distance comprising a distance from an object predicted to collide with the vehicle. By braking the vehicle at least the threshold braking distance from the object, a predicted collision between the vehicle and the object is avoided.

A method for controlling actuation of an actuatable restraint in response to a vehicle rollover event includes detecting whether the vehicle (12) is being driven off-road. The method also includes determining whether the vehicle (12) is undergoing a roll event (99) that would warrant actuation of the actuatable restraint (20) if the vehicle was being driven on-road. The method further includes actuating the actuatable restraint (20) in response to determining that a roll acceleration (D RATE) of the vehicle (20) indicates that the roll event is continuing. A vehicle safety system (10) includes an actuatable restraint and a controller (50) configured to control actuation of the actuatable restraint according to this method.

A protection system for a motor vehicle having a sensor for determining an angle of inclination of the motor vehicle about its longitudinal axis. An airbag attached on an outside of the motor vehicle. A processing device designed to detect a risk that the motor vehicle may tip over, on the basis of the inclination angle determined, and in that case activates the airbag. The airbag can be pivoted in the vertical direction from an area close to the ground.

A safety system for improving road compatibility of a vehicle includes a monitoring system and an integrated safety domain control unit. The monitoring system includes a vehicle external information monitoring module and a vehicle body posture monitoring module. The integrated safety domain control unit is configured to compute a collision condition between the vehicle and an obstacle based on data acquired by the vehicle external information monitoring module and the vehicle body posture monitoring module, the collision condition including a collision relative speed and a collision overlap rate, and determine, based on the collision relative speed and the collision overlap rate, whether to deploy an external airbag. A determination condition for controlling triggering of deployment of the external airbag includes determining whether the collision relative speed is less than a first speed threshold and/or whether the collision overlap rate is less than a first overlap rate threshold. The present disclosure further relates to a safety apparatus and method for improving road compatibility of a vehicle, and a medium, as well as a vehicle safety system, a vehicle safety apparatus, a method for enhancing safety of a vehicle, and a readable storage medium.

The disclosure relates to a sensor module, in particular for a safety system of a motor vehicle, having a carrier substrate, having a plurality of functional units that are arranged on or at the carrier substrate and are electrically connected to one another, wherein at least one functional unit is a sensor, having at least one analog-to-digital converter, having a communication device and optionally having a linearizer and/or compensator. There is provision for only analog functional units to be present as functional units and for the at least one analog-to-digital converter to be connected on the output side directly to the communication device.
