摘要： A voice-activated microphone and transceiver system includes an interrogator unit for transmitting a signal, receiving a modulated signal, and demodulating the modulated signal such that the difference between the transmitted signal and the modulated signal correspond to a unique sound wave signal. An acoustically driven microphone unit is also included for receiving the signal from the interrogator unit, modulating the signal with the sound wave signal, wherein the sound wave signal contains instructions for controlling an electronic device, and transmitting the modulated signal back to the interrogator unit for analysis by a signal processor.

摘要： The invention relates to a two-way bi-directional wireless-based access communication system that allows a user to access any one of multiple independent secured domain systems from a single handheld remote keyless entry device, whereupon activation of the remote keyless device by the user, an encoded request signal containing a predetermined access code is generated and transmitted by the remote keyless entry device to one of the multiple secure domain systems. And, based on the access code contained within the encoded request signal, the domain system determines the validity of the access code and transmits a corresponding encoded authorization signal to user at the transceiver device.

摘要： A vehicle occupant airbag deployment system (50) that detects, identifies and tracks a person (16) in the passenger seat (18) of a vehicle (12), and provides a signal for no fire, soft fire or hard fire of the airbag (20) depending on the location of the person (16) in a crash event. The airbag deployment system (50) employs infrared emitters (30) that emit an infrared signal towards the passenger seat (18) of the vehicle (12) and an infrared detector (34) that receive reflected radiation from objects in the seat (18). Processing circuitry (52), including face recognition software, is employed to detect human face features to provide the necessary detection and tracking of the person (16). In this manner, the system (50) prevents the airbag (20) from firing if the seat (18) is not occupied by a person (16), prevents the airbag (20) from firing if a person (16) is detected, but is too close to the airbag (20), and provides a soft fire if a person (16) is detected, but is within a soft fire range of the airbag (20).

摘要： A human presence detection system (50) that employs a frame differencing technique for subtracting out background interference from images generated by the system. The system (50) includes an infrared source (28) that generates a beam of infrared radiation, and an infrared detector (72) that receives infrared radiation reflected from objects in the path of the beam. Face recognition software is employed to determine the presence of a person (16) from the reflected radiation. The infrared source (28) is pulsed on and off and the detector (72) is synchronously shuttered to the pulses so that image frames are generated at different times, where one frame includes reflected radiation and background radiation and another frame includes only background radiation. The frames are subtracted to separate out the background radiation.
