摘要： A tire monitoring system for a vehicle. The tire monitoring system includes a sensor assembly mountable on a wheel and has a first sensor for detecting a tire parameter and a second sensor for detecting proximity of the sensor assembly to the wheel. The sensor assembly is detached from the wheel when the second sensor is not proximate to the wheel.

摘要： A trailer tire monitoring system and method is employed with a trailer having tires and being towed by a vehicle. The trailer tire monitoring system has tire sensor assemblies, each mounted in a respective one of the trailer tires, with each tire sensor assembly including a sensor apparatus that monitors at least one tire operating parameter and a wireless transmitter apparatus capable of wirelessly transmitting data relating to the at least one tire operating parameter. The monitoring system also has a relay unit preferably mounted on the trailer and including a relay receiver adapted for receiving the wirelessly transmitted data from the wireless transmitters of the tire sensor assemblies, and a wireless relay transmitter that wirelessly transmits the data. An in-vehicle receiver receives the wirelessly transmitted data from the wireless relay transmitter, and an in-vehicle indicator is in communication with the in-vehicle receiver and available to the vehicle operator.

摘要： A thermal control system (11) for a light source (46) of a vision system (10) includes a heater (63) that is thermally coupled to the light source (46). A thermal sensor (60) is thermally coupled to the light source (46) and generates a temperature signal. A controller (50) is coupled to the heater (63) and to the thermal sensor (60). The controller (50) operates the heater (63) when the temperature signal is below a maximum temperature limit.

摘要： A combined immobilizing and steering column control system for a vehicle includes a device, a steering wheel, and a vehicle immobilizing system. The device has a transponder for transmitting an identification signal. The steering wheel includes controls and a first inductor. The first inductor transmits a control signal for controlling a vehicle function in response to a corresponding steering wheel control being actuated. The immobilizing system has a second inductor and a controller. The second inductor is operable to sense the identification signal transmitted by the transponder and to sense a control signal transmitted by the first inductor. The controller performs a vehicle immobilizing function in response to the second inductor sensing an identification signal transmitted by the transponder. The controller enables the vehicle function corresponding to an actuated steering wheel control in response to the second inductor sensing the corresponding control signal transmitted by the first inductor.
