摘要： A steering column assembly (18) of the type for controlling one or more steerable wheels in a motor vehicle includes a steering wheel (14) interface secured to the free end of a steering column (20). The steering column assembly (18) includes powered telescope adjust and tilt adjust features which a driver (16) uses to adjust the position of the steering wheel (14) for maximum comfort. One or more condition sensors (48) monitor numerous parameters about the vehicle. When an emergency condition is detected, such as the seat belt warning, a door that is ajar, various engine conditions, or erratic driving activity, a haptic controller (50) rapidly vibrates the steering wheel (14) through the telescoping and tilt adjusting motors (32, 40) as a means of alerting the driver (16) to the emergency condition. These warnings can be given priority so that a first warning is communicated by steering wheel (14) vibrations in one direction, and a second warning is communicated by vibrations in both the first direction and a second direction simultaneously. In addition, a third warning can be given emphasis by increasing the power of the vibration to a resonance mode to cause an audible warning.

摘要： A steering column assembly for operating a vehicle packages mechanical components and electrical devices normally found in or around the steering column of the vehicle into a single unit. An on-board processor accepts signals from the electrical devices, which may include motor actuators for steering column adjustments and/or pedal position adjustments. The on-board processor connects to a vehicle communications bus to communicate data received from the electrical devices to various systems throughout the vehicle. The on-board processor also receives data from the various systems. The steering column assembly also includes a display connected to the on-board processor. The display and on-board processor moves with the steering column as it is adjusted for telescope and/or tilt position. The operator receives information about the operation of the vehicle from the display. All components, including the on-board processor, are operatively connected to a column support, allowing the steering column assembly to be installed as a unit. Therefore, the steering column assembly installs quickly into the vehicle with a reduced chance of installation error.

摘要： An information system for a vehicle includes a computer for handling informational data corresponding to operation of the vehicle. A primary display is connected to the computer in a position to be viewed by a driver of the vehicle for presenting the informational data in multiple, sequential, interactive menu screens. A manual controller mounted on the steering wheel allows input to the computer and manipulation of the primary display through the menu screens. The controller includes a scroll wheel which is oriented so that its rotational axis is parallel to the steering axis. The controller includes a central push button for activating a particular selection highlighted on the primary display. A plurality of category selector buttons operate as mode switches for activating various vehicle system subjects through the information system. The scroll wheel and push button selectors establish an interface for the driver which can be operated intuitively, without taking eyes off the road or releasing the driver's grip of the steering wheel.

摘要： Inflowing data is summarized in real time. The summarized data is displayed as a graph in real time. A portion of the graph is selected using dual sliders. And data that was summarized in real time and represented by the selected graph portion is operated on. Operating on the data that was summarized in real time and represented by the selected graph portion involves displaying components of the data that was summarized in real time and represented by the selected graph portion and/or exporting the data that was summarized in real time and represented by the selected graph portion. Displaying components of the data that was summarized in real time and represented by the selected graph portion involves displaying components of the data that was summarized in real time in one or more new graphs and/or displaying components of the data that was summarized in real time in tabular form.

Predetermined information for the network transmission event is obtained at a first network location and the network transmission event predetermined information is provided to a predetermined monitoring location (or server). From the predetermined monitoring location, the predetermined information is provided to other network monitoring devices at one or more other network locations. At the one or more other network locations, the network transmission event, corresponding to the predetermined information obtained at the first location, is monitored. Network transmission event information, corresponding to the predetermined information obtained at the first location, is provided to the predetermined monitoring location from the first location and the other network locations. The monitoring of network transmission can be thereby coordinated.

摘要： A sensor assembly for measuring temperature at a target location includes a sensor adapted to detect infrared radiation and produce an electrical output. A focusing lens focuses infrared radiation from the target location onto the sensor while substantially preventing infrared radiation from points outside the target location from being detected by the sensor. In a first embodiment, a sensor assembly for a focusing thermometer includes a sensor and a focusing lens. In a second embodiment, a focusing thermometer for measuring temperature at a target location includes a sensor assembly and electronic circuitry that receives electrical output from the sensor assembly and processes the output into a temperature reading. The sensor assembly includes a focusing lens for focusing infrared radiation from the target location onto the sensor while substantially preventing infrared radiation from points outside the target location from being detected by the sensor.
