An ultrasonic transducer comprises a cylindrical housing embedded within a rear bumper of a vehicle and opening backward, a reflecting plate having a parabolic reflecting surface provided within the cylindrical housing along a closed end thereof and facing an open end thereof, and an ultrasonic vibrator provided in an upper wall of the housing at the focus of the reflecting plate for emitting and receiving ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic transducer transmits ultrasonic waves behind the vehicle and receives ultrasonic waves reflected from an obstacle. The ultrasonic transducer further comprises a projecting member provided on the inner wall of the housing along the open end thereof for dispersing and cancelling the ultrasonic waves entering the housing at angles with respect to the axis of the housing. The projecting member has a smoothly curving cross section having a radius of substantially one fourth to five times the wavelength of the ultrasonic waves emitted by the ultrasonic vibrator.

A microwave probe has a cylindrical support made of stabilized zirconia being excellent in heat insulation, and the cylindrical support is threadably installed at a partitioning wall to partition an atmosphere of high temperature. The support is provided at the center with a through hole, and an antenna for transmitting or receiving microwave is installed at one opening of the through hole positioning at outside of the partitioning wall, and a metal ring member is installed at other opening of the through hole positioning within the partitioning wall. The transmitting and receiving antenna and the ring member are fixed to respective openings by a ceramic adhesive which is filled in the through hole and excellent in heat insulation. A part of the ring member projects in the atmosphere. A rotary body breakage detecting apparatus has the microwave probe installed at a cabinet wall to cover a wing body rotating in an atmosphere of high temperature, and a microwave oscillator and a microwave detector are connected to the probe through a circulator. A breakage detecting circuit is connected to the microwave detector. The breakage detecting circuit detects that peak value of the receiving signal outputted from the detector (the signal pulsating with rotation of the wing body) varies beyond a prescribed range, and generates signal informing the breakage of the wing body.

An apparatus capable of sensing sudden approach of a succeeding vehicle and emitting an alarm, while being free from malfunction that may otherwise be caused by the noise from the succeeding vehicle which has approached at a normal speed and stopped in the proximity. The sensing apparatus includes a transmitter disposed in a rear bumper of a vehicle for transmitting ultrasonic waves toward a succeeding vehicle; a receiver disposed in the rear bumper for receiving the ultrasonic waves reflected from the succeeding vehicle; a circuit for detecting the approach speed of the succeeding vehicle from the difference between the frequencies of the reflected waves and the transmitted waves, and generating an alarm signal when the detected approach speed has exceeded a predetermined value; a circuit for detecting the approach distance of the succeeding vehicle at a normal speed from the signal strength of the reflected ultrasonic waves, and interrupting the action of the ultrasonic transmitter and receiver when the detected distance has become shorter than a predetermined value; and an alarm activated in response to the alarm signal and giving a warning of danger to drivers of both the apparatus-installed vehicle and the succeeding one.

A rear monitor system for an automotive vehicle comprises a sensor secured to a vehicle door located on one side of the vehicle and adapted to be operated by a vehicle occupant when leaving the vehicle, the sensor generating a signal indicating that the occupant is going to leave the vehicle. A control unit is responsive to the signal from the sensor for transmitting radiant energy in a rearward direction to detect a reflection from an object approaching the vehicle from behind at a speed higher than a predetermined value. Further provided is a safety device which is responsive to the detected reflection for preventing the vehicle occupant from opening the door.

A diesel smoke meter which uses micro-waves to detect the density of black smoke contained in the exhaust gas discharged from the diesel engine through an exhaust pipe. A micro-wave transmitting device is coupled to the exhaust pipe and transmits micro-waves into the exhaust pipe. Micro-waves transiting the exhaust pipe are attenuated by the black smoke in the exhaust gas. A micro-wave receiving device receives the attenuated micro-waves and provides a received signal which varies in accordance with the signal level of the attenuated micro-waves. A measuring device receives the received signal and provides an output indicative of the density of black smoke in the exhaust gas.

A system for supplying energy to a microrobot disposed within a piping system for inspection or repair. The system comprises a microwave transmission section for transmitting as energy a microwave to the robot within the piping system. The microwave transmission section is arranged to transmit the microwave having a frequency equal to or higher than a frequency determined in correspondence with an inner diameter of a pipe of the piping system in which the microrobot is disposed. The microrobot receives the transmitted microwave to convert it into an electric power for operation. This arrangement can ensure a smooth operation of the microrobot within a small-sized pipe because the microrobot is not connected to the transmission section through an electric connection.

A Doppler radar speed detecting method in which periods of a Doppler signal are measured within a predetermined sampling time, and frequency data corresponding to the thus obtained period data are obtained. Upper and lower limit values are set based on the previous Doppler frequency F(k-1). The frequency data are compared with these limit values. Frequency data within a low region lower than the lower limit value, and intermedaite region between the lower and upper limit values, and a high region higher than the upper limit value are respectively counted in accordance with the comparison. Further, for the frequency data between the lower and upper limits, an integrated value of differences between these data and the previous Doppler frequency is obtained. From these integrated value and the numbers of frequency data, the change from the previous to the present Doppler frequency is calculated. By adding this change and the previous Doppler frequency together, the present Doppler frequency is obtained.

The invention relates to a transponder for a vehicle identification device in which a radio wave including vehicle information returned from transponders provided in a vehicle is received by an interrogator. The vehicle transponder receives a query radio wave and uses a detection device to generate a previously memorized coded signal train in response to a received wave. The coded signal train varies an amount of bias voltage of the detection device so that a reflection coefficient of the detection device is varied to modulate the reflection wave of the query radio wave and the modulated wave is transmitted back to the interrogator.
