Abstract: A motion detector camera is configured to differentiate between an object or objects passing through the field of view of the camera and an object or objects approaching the sensor. In one example, motion is detected with a camera configured to identify and selectively filter specific directions of motion. The motion detector compares pixel changes, corresponding to the basic area or size of the object, from frame to frame, and detects the amount of increase in change or decrease in change. An increasing change in the area or size of an object indicates that an object is approaching, and a decreasing change in the area or size of an object indicates that an object that is receding.

Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a method is provided for charging a movable barrier operator transmitter in a vehicle. The method includes connecting a transmitter and a component of the vehicle, transmitting an initiation signal from the transmitter to the component, and transmitting an inquiry signal from the component to the transmitter. The inquiry signal may include charging information. The method includes transmitting an answer signal from the transmitter to the component that includes information responsive to the charging information. The method further includes energizing a charging coil of the component to create an electromagnetic field and charge a battery of the transmitter.

Abstract: A packaged apparatus includes a wireless communication device capable of communicating via a variety of different communication protocols. The communication device can be adapted to communicate according to one particular communication protocol from within the package and without physical access to the device. Accordingly, the configuration of the communication device can take place after packaging and either before, during, of after shipment of the product. The packaged apparatus communicates with an external device, reads, or receives information from the external device and then configures the communication device based on the read or received information. The external device can be an identification tag read by a reading device within the package, or it can be a transmitter that transmits signals that can be read by a communication device internal to the package.

Abstract: An obstacle detection system includes an emitter that emits a wide angle signal, and a receiver that receives at least a portion of the wide angle signal. The obstacle detection system also includes a memory for storing a time window and a baseline signal characteristic, and a processing device that compares attributes of the received signal to information stored in the memory. The processing device determines whether at least a portion of the emitted signal was received at the receiver within the time window. The processing device also determines whether a signal characteristic of the received signal corresponds to the baseline signal characteristic.

Abstract: A barrier operator feature enhancement device is designed to provide one or more features found in modern barrier operator devices and to incorporate those features into a previously installed barrier operator system. To facilitate ease of use, the barrier operator feature enhancement device can communicate with a large variety of barrier operators. Such communication may be wireless or wired, depending on the communication protocol implemented by a particular previously installed barrier operator. To facilitate the ease of installation, the device is designed to configure itself to operate with the communication protocol of the previously installed barrier operator. Once configured to be able to communicate with the previously installed barrier operator, the feature enhancement device works with the barrier operator to provide one or more additional features to enhance the capabilities of the previously installed barrier operator.

Abstract: A loop detection apparatus and corresponding methods are provided that includes an inductive loop and a processing device. The processing device includes circuitry to connect to the inductive loop and control and sense from the inductive loop a change in a characteristic thereof. The inductive loop is disposed at least partially above a surface on which a vehicle travels. The processing device detects a change in a characteristic of the inductive loop beyond a first threshold value, and in response, transmits a first signal configured to effect a first action. The processing device further detects a change in the characteristic of the inductive loop beyond a second threshold value, and in response, transmits a second signal configured to effect a second action different than the first action.
