Abstract: In a process of detecting a person falling asleep, an image of the face of the person is acquired. Pixels of the image having characteristics corresponding to an eye of the person are selected and a histogram is formed of the selected pixels. The histogram is analyzed over time to identify each opening and closing of the eye, and characteristics indicative of the person falling asleep are determined. A sub-area of the image including the eye may be determined by identifying the head or a facial characteristic of the person, and then identifying the sub-area using an anthropomorphic model. To determine openings and closings of the eyes, histograms of shadowed pixels of the eye are analyzed to determine the width and height of the shadowing, or histograms of movement corresponding to blinking are analyzed. An apparatus for detecting a person falling asleep includes a sensor for acquiring an image of the face of the person, a controller, and a histogram formation unit for forming a histogram on pixels having selected characteristics. Also disclosed is a rear-view mirror assembly incorporating the apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus for transporting particulate material includes a housing having an inlet for receiving particulate material and an outlet through which particulate material is discharged in a moving dynamic mass. A rotor is supported for rotation within the housing, adjacent a stationary glide surface. The rotor has a plurality of disks spaced apart by hub sections and defining a plurality of transport channels between the disks, adjacent the glide surface. Each transport channel extends between the inlet and the outlet. The rotor is rotated while particulate material is fed into the housing inlet. The particulate material is received within the transport channels and, by the action of the rotating disks and the stationary glide surface, the particulate material in each of the transport channels interlocks with the disk walls and bridges across transport channel. The material is transported by the motion of the disk walls and, at the same time, forms a moving dynamic mass. The moving dynamic mass from each transport channel is conveyed out of the outlet of the housing.
