A system and method assists the driver of a motor vehicle in preventing accidents or minimizing the effects of same. In one form, a television camera or other ranging device is mounted on a vehicle and scans the roadway ahead of the vehicle as the vehicle travels. Continuously generated video picture signals output by the camera are electronically processed and analyzed by a fuzzy-logic-based image analyzing computer mounted in the controlled vehicle, which generates control signals and applies them to control the operation of the accelerator, brake, and steering system of the vehicle in a coordinated way to attempt to avoid or lessen the effects of a collision. In a particular form, the decision computer may select the evasive action taken from a number of choices, depending on whether and where the detection device senses other vehicles and obstacles. Warning signals may also be generated.

Motor vehicle warning and control system and method

Global positioning system inputs are used in a manufacturing process where location of a work piece relative to a robotic manipulator is input into a control system. The manipulator is located and tracked by using 'GPS' signals, as is an associated work piece. Radio signal based position indicators associated with work pieces transmit work piece location and status. In some embodiments manipulator locations are sensed by position indicators associated with manipulators and signals relating to the position of the manipulators are transmitted to the control system. The control system controls the manipulator and may also control material handling equipment for the transport of work pieces.

Robotic manufacturing and assembly with relative radio positioning using radio based location determination

System and method for detecting, monitoring and evaluating hazardous situations in a structure includes the use of an expert system and, to the extent necessary, fuzzy logic in the generation of solution sets. Sensor units having two-way communication capability are strategically located in a structure or in a matrix of structures. These units are high-level multifunctional detectors, RF and other wireless or hardwired communication modules and signal generating systems that may communicate with a base station, with other modules and/or may have onboard logical solution generation capacity.

Intelligent building alarm

Improvements in figure toys, such as dolls which are configured, decorated, clothed and provided with toys and accessories to educate and entertain, to simulate growth and provide the appearance of the same living being or person at different stages of growth and development. In one form, a series of lifesize or scaled dolls or figure toys are each constructed and facially shaped to represent the same living being or person at a different age or stage in its development. In a particular form, baby dolls are designed and constructed to represent the same person shortly after birth, six months old, twelve months old, two and three years old. In such form, all dolls are manufactured and constructed approximately to scale if not full size. The facial features of one doll are substantially those of the other dolls at their respective simulated ages. Clothing and accessories for each doll are those which would normally be provided to dress a baby or child of a similar age. In another form, accessories, such as a birth certificate, innoculation papers, graduation or promotion papers, and other documents associated with a growing person or child, are provided to educate and teach children owning such series of dolls as are other accessories such as those generally associated with infants and children of different ages such as a feeding bottle, a pacifier, toys, head gear, etc.
