A radar detector suppresses alerts from vehicle guidance systems, by sweeping for a consistent radar signal; the center frequency of the signal is stored and the detector suppresses warnings of radar signals near that frequency. The detector uses an enhanced method for suppression of signals near a known location of a false signal source; in the event the detector detects a radar signal and finds a matching stored false signal, the detector will first compare the strength of the received signal to a threshold strength that is computed based upon the distance of the detector from the stored false signal, and will only suppress signals below threshold. The detector includes a camera directed to the road in the vicinity of the vehicle. Image data from the camera is processed to identify police vehicles as identified by flashing lights, a profile including a rooftop light bar and/or highly contrasting colored panels.

Radar false alert reduction

The inappropriate use of a mobile device and/or a motor vehicle may be ameliorated through audit by a supervisor, parent or peer using a system that monitors vehicle movements and mobile device use and notifies the supervisor, parent or peer of potentially inappropriate use, such as simultaneous vehicle and mobile device use, use of the mobile device generally at times when such use is normally inappropriate according to a calendar of events, and use of the motor vehicle generally at a location or at a time and location that is normally inappropriate.

Monitoring and combining mobile device data and vehicle use records

Monitoring mobile device and vehicle use to detect inappropriate use

A stave-cutting machine has a cutter head mounted on a pivot arm, and the pivoting of said pivot arm about an axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the stave defines the bilge of the stave.

A stringed musical instrument, in particular a guitar, including a body with a soundboard having an upper portion, and a neck having one end connected to the upper portion of the soundboard so that a portion of the neck extends over the soundboard to a distal second end, the soundboard and neck are connected so as to form an obtuse angle therebetween so that a fingerboard located on the upper surface of the neck has an elevation from the soundboard which increases in the direction of the distal second end of the neck.
