摘要:
A semi-autonomous parking system calculates the current position as well as the desired trajectory required to accomplish the parking task by utilizing vehicle position measurements. The parking system alters the power steering's required effort to maneuver the vehicle thus providing tactile feedback to the vehicle operator. The required effort is decreased when it is determined that the operator is steering the vehicle within the desired trajectory and is increased when it is determined that the operator is steering the vehicle outside the desired trajectory. The operator can feel increases and decreases in steering effort at the steering wheel.
摘要:
An acoustic production system having multiple signal sources and a power amplifier driving an acoustic transducer such as a loudspeaker includes an arbitrator in a power limiter circuit to selectively limit the input level of one of the sources to the power amp in response to an overdrive signal from the amplifier. The input level to the power amplifier is automatically reduced in response to the overdrive signal until a predetermined level of limiting has been attained. Once the predetermined level of limiting is reached, the arbitrator outputs a second overdrive signal to prompt additional limiting of the power amplifier output. Preferably, the arbitrator is included in an interior active noise cancellation module combined with an audio entertainment system for a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The audio system also preferably separates the audio reproduction into high frequency and low frequency branches, whereby the arbitrator acts upon the signals output in the frequency ranges of active noise cancellation and the bass output of the audio entertainment system that are most likely to overdrive an amplifier.
