    摘要: An automobile door lock receiver module (30) and a plurality of keychain fob transmitter units (16) contain identification numbers, secret initial values, and secret feedback masks so as to authenticate encrypted messages from any of the assigned fobs, indicative of commands registered by closing switches on the fob. Each fob is synchronized with the receiving module by means of a truly random number concatenated with a secret initial value and encrypted, through a linear feedback shift register or other operations. A second secret initial value is encrypted and command bits are exclusive ORed into the low order bit positions; the two encrypted numbers are concatenated and encrypted to form a key word which is transmitted with the fob ID. Synchronization includes decrypting to recover the truly random number and the secret initial value concatenated therewith; the truly random number is compared with previously received random numbers in order to avoid copying of recently transmitted synchronization commands. Successive lock-related commands utilize the number encrypted from the truly random number and the second secret initial value as starting values, employing a pseudorandom number of encryption iterations. A half-second delay between responses mitigates gaining access through numerical trials. An authenticated panic alarm command operates the headlights and horn of the vehicle but does not alter the synchronization.

    摘要: A method and system for detecting and predicting air filter condition for an air handling system operates by determining a system resistance to air flow. The system resistance is utilized to determine a detection statistic indicative of current filter condition and to predict remaining life of the air filter. The system resistance is determined using models that approximate the expected operation of the air handling system. The approximation is then compared to actual values to obtain a difference. Once the difference between the approximated value exceeds a threshold value, an alarm is initiated that is indicative of system resistance. The remaining air filter life is then determined by using historically gathered data, or by using a known degradation rate of the air filter. Once the remaining life of the air filter is estimated, replacement can be scheduled that would coincide with other maintenance.

    摘要: A noise or vibration control system reduces a sampling rate and reduces a control rate to improve computation efficiency. The present invention permits the use of a sample frequency (fs) that is less than twice the frequency of interest (fd). The sensed signals are filtered to extract a particular frequency range with a lower bound given by (2n−1)*fs/2 and an upper bound given by (2n+1)*fs/2, where n is an integer chosen so that the frequency of interest (fd) is within the extracted frequency range. The control commands are also calculated at a reduced rate, which is dependent upon the bandwidth of the tone, rather than the absolute frequency of the tone. Rather than updating the control signals directly on the sampled sensor data yk as it enters the computer, the control computations are done on the harmonic components ak and bk, or equivalently on the magnitude and phase.

    摘要: A method for detecting and predicting refrigerant level includes the steps of determining an estimated value for a parameter indicative of refrigerant level and comparing that estimated value to an actual value. The difference between the actual and estimated value provides a refrigerant charge indicator value. The charge indicator value is indicative of the amount of refrigerant contained within the system. A change value is combined with the charge indicator value to provide a prediction for the future value of the charge indicator value. This future value is determined based on a rate of change and charge indicator value over a selected period of time.

    摘要: A cabin communication system for improving clarity of a voice spoken within an interior cabin uses a microphone array including a first microphone, positioned at a first location within the cabin, for receiving the spoken voice primarily in a first direction and for converting the spoken voice into a first audio signal, and a second microphone, positioned at a second location within the cabin, for receiving the spoken voice primarily in the first direction and for converting the spoken voice into a second audio signal. A sound source, such as the speaker of an entertainment system, inputs sound into the cabin such that the input sound approaches the microphone array primarily in a second direction different from the first direction. A processor combines the first and second audio signals to provide a resultant audio signal, wherein the combining of the first and second audio signals defines a beampattern of the microphone array that includes a plurality of lobes and a plurality of nulls such that the spoken voice is primarily received by the microphone array along the first direction at a first one of the plurality of lobes and such that the input sound is primarily received by the microphone array along the second direction at a first one of the plurality of nulls, whereby any component in the resultant audio signals indicative of the input sound is substantially minimal. The cabin communication system further includes a loudspeaker for converting the resultant audio signal into an output reproduced voice within the cabin, and advantageously the beampattern is such that the output reproduced voice is also received at a null of the beampattern.

    摘要: A security system that is useful for protecting vehicles from theft and buildings from unauthorized entry, for example, includes utilizing random numbers within remotely transmitted signals. A remote signaling device transmits a signal to a system controller with instructions for a desired operation of the system. The invention prevents a potential thief from capturing one or more transmitted signals and later mimicking or predicting a subsequent signal by including or utilizing a random number when generating the transmitted signal. The random number is incorporated into the transmitted signal in one of several ways according to this invention. Single-use or limited re-use of random numbers enhances the security and integrity of the system.
