Abstract: A capacitive sensing system for a liftgate of a vehicle includes at least one elongate capacitive sensor mounted on a trim panel of the liftgate. The at least one elongate capacitive sensor is arranged to extend over an area of the trim panel. The capacitive sensing system also includes a controller coupled to the at least one elongate capacitive sensor for monitoring changes in a capacitance value of the at least one elongate capacitive sensor, with the capacitance value changing when an obstacle approaches the area.

Abstract: A non-contact object and/or gesture detection system includes at least one sensor configured to sense an object or motion within a field of view (FOV) using radio frequency radiation. Various sensor and brackets are provided which may allow a position and/or tilt of the sensor to be adjusted for controlling the FOV. A sensor housing includes a vent filter that breathable but impermeable to liquids. Various antenna designs are provided to provide desired FOV sizes and shapes, particularly for optimizing a radiation pattern that is relatively wide and shallow. A steerable antenna layout is also provided for controlling the location of the FOV without an adjustable bracket. A sensor housing including a projector mount for an icon projector is provided. A seal prevents debris from entering between the antenna and the bumper.

Abstract: An ultrasonic object detection system for a motor vehicle is provided. The system includes an indicator attached to a vehicle body for informing a user of an appropriate location to make an activation gesture for initiating opening of a closure member. At least one ultrasonic transducer is attached to the vehicle body. An electronic control unit is electrically coupled to the indicator and includes at least one ultrasonic driver electrically coupled to the at least one ultrasonic transducer. The electronic control unit is in communication with a plurality of vehicle controllers and is configured to receive a plurality of operational signals from the plurality of vehicle controllers, detect the activation gesture made by the user with the at least one ultrasonic transducer, and transmit an activation signal to the plurality of vehicle controllers in response to detecting the activation gesture made by the user for operating the closure member.
