Patent EP-2751785-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PINKUS MICHAEL COLLINS
IPC: B60W50/12
Filed: 2012-08-30
Abstract: Systems and methods for independent control of for-hire vehicles are described whereby a computer system storing operation parameters pertaining to the regulatory restrictions placed on a for-hire vehicle compares the operation parameters to a current operating environment of the for-hire vehicle. In some embodiments, the computer system acts as the meter (such as a taximeter) of the for-hire vehicle. The operating parameters may include expiration or exclusion parameters that define the scope of operation of the for-hire vehicle stemming from the for-hire vehicle's medallion or certificate of public convenience and necessity. The expiration or exclusion parameters may also correspond to a driver's permit or any general regulation enacted by the regulatory agency. The computer system may be in communication with one or more sensors in order to determine the current operating environment of the for-hire vehicle. If the current operating environment does not comply with the expiration or exclusion parameters, the computer system shuts down, or enters a standby mode. Once shut down or in standby mode, the computer system may not accept additional passenger fares until the current operating environment complies with the expiration and exclusion parameters.

Abstract: The method involves detecting head movements of a user (1) wearing a hearing instrument (2). Acoustic signals are captured in direction-dependent manner upon determining absence of movements. Amplification of the signals, which originate from a focus solid angle in front of the head as compared with signals originating from other solid angles, is subsequently boosted. The amplification of the signals is gradually focused by reducing the focus solid angle when presence of the desired signals originating from the focus solid angle decreases on account of reducing the focus solid angle.
