CPC Class H04N

An environmental surveillance system includes at least one status sensor, a control device, and at least one portable information capturing device. The control device is coupled to the status sensors to send a broadcast packet in accordance with sensing signals generated from the status sensors. The broadcast packet includes a broadcast data. The broadcast data includes an actuation command. The at least one portable information capturing device receives the broadcast packet and compares a match data with the broadcast data in the broadcast packet. When the match data matches the broadcast data, the at least one portable information capturing device starts a media capturing procedure in accordance with the actuation command.

An electronic device includes: a circuit board with mounted components including a heat-generating electronic element mounted thereon; a casing configured to internally hold the circuit board; and a heat spreader configured to be held in the casing together with the circuit board, the heat spreader being formed by enclosing a liquid or paste-like thermal conductive medium in a flexible package and configured to deform to conform to a three-dimensional shape of the heat-generating electronic element and periphery thereof on the circuit board.

In a method for automatic adaptation of a quantity of a coating substance, a coating substance is inkjet printed to a printing region of the recording medium; a first color is over printed across a width of the printing region of the recording medium and atop the coating substance; a print image of a second color is over printed atop the first color; the printing region having been printed to is sensory recorded; a local bleeding behavior of the first and the second colors is analyzed based on the sensory recording; and a printed quantity of the coating substance is locally adapted, based on the analysis of the local bleeding behavior, in segments of the printing region that are affected by bleeding.

A light diverting system for diverting light from a headlamp assembly of a vehicle includes a processor and a user input device communicatively coupled to the processor. A light diverting apparatus includes an actuator communicatively coupled to the processor and a light diverting member comprising a reflective surface configured to reflect light from a light source. A memory module is communicatively coupled to the processor that stores logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to receive user instructions from the user input device and adjust a position of the light diverting member using the light diverting apparatus based on the user instructions.

A vision system for a vehicle includes side and rear cameras that are operable to capture image data. The rear camera is configured to be disposed at a rear portion of the vehicle so as to have a rearward field of view and the side cameras are configured to be disposed at respective side portions of the vehicle so as to have respective sideward and rearward fields of view. The rear camera has a rear imager and a wide angle lens, which is disposed at the rear imager with its center axis offset from a center region of the rear imager so as to be disposed at and to image at an upper region of the rear imager. An image processor processes captured image data to merge captured image data to provide a panoramic image for display to the driver during a reversing maneuver of the vehicle.
