    摘要： System and method for detecting the presence of an object in an aperture in which an electromagnetic pulse is directed from an edge of a frame defining the aperture and electromagnetic waves reflected from an opposite edge of the frame are received at substantially the same location. A time of flight between the emission of the electromagnetic pulse and the reception of the reflected electromagnetic waves is measured. The presence of an obstacle in the aperture causes a variation in the time of flight from a reference time of flight in a situation where an obstacle is not present in the aperture. The system and method can be used in vehicles to determine the presence of obstacles in the path of a closing window, door, trunk lid, convertible top, or sunroof.

    摘要： Wireless sensing and communication system including sensors located on the vehicle, in the roadway or in the vicinity of the vehicle or roadway and which provide information which is transmitted to one or more interrogators in the vehicle by a wireless radio frequency mechanism. Power to operate a particular sensor is supplied by the interrogator or the sensor is independently connected to either a battery, generator, vehicle power source or some source of power external to the vehicle. The sensors can provide information about the vehicle and its interior or exterior environment, about individual components, systems, vehicle occupants, subsystems, or about the roadway, ambient atmosphere, travel conditions and external objects. The sensors arranged on the roadway or ancillary structures would include pressure sensors, temperature sensors, moisture content or humidity sensors, and friction sensors.

    摘要： The fuel gage of the present invention uses a combination of (i) one or more load cells or fuel level measuring devices, plus in some cases other sensors which measure the pitch or roll angle of the vehicle or the fuel density, to approximately measure the quantity of the fuel in the tank and (ii) a processor and algorithm, which may be a look-up table or formulae, to correct for the inaccuracies arising from the pitch and roll angles of the vehicle, other external forces or from variations in fuel density. Although several weighing systems are disclosed for illustrative purposes, the invention applies to any method of making an approximate measurement of the fuel quantity (weight or volume) and then using analytical techniques to improve on the measurement.

    摘要： Method for developing and adapting a system for determining the location of an object in a passenger compartment of a vehicle using a variety of transducers and pattern recognition technologies and techniques that applies to any combination of transducers that provide information about vehicle occupancy. These include weight sensors, capacitive sensors, inductive sensors, ultrasonic, optic, infrared, radar among others. The adaptation process begins with a selection of candidate transducers for a particular vehicle model based on, e.g., cost, vehicle interior passenger compartment geometry, desired accuracy and reliability, vehicle aesthetics, vehicle manufacturer preferences. Once a candidate set of transducers is selected, these transducers are mounted in the test vehicle and the vehicle is subjected to an extensive data collection process wherein various objects are placed in the vehicle at various locations and various databases are collected. A pattern recognition system is developed using the acquired data and an accuracy assessment is made. Further studies are made to determine which if any of the transducers can be eliminated from the design. The design process usually begins with a surplus of sensors plus an objective as to how many sensors are to be in the final vehicle installation. The adaptation process can determine the degree of importance of the transducers and the least important could be eliminated to reduce system cost and complexity. Various data collection techniques are utilized such as collecting data under the influence of thermal gradients and the use of neural networks to insure data quality. Other techniques used include the use of pre-processors, post-processors, modular networks, large databases and multiple databases.
