摘要： An automatic barrier operator system for operating a gate or upward acting garage door, for example, includes a controller for operating a reversible motor, a base radio frequency transmitter and a base radio frequency receiver. One or more remote control units include a radio frequency remote receiver and remote transmitter. The controller is operable to automatically close or open the barrier in response to a query signal sent from the base transmitter to the remote receiver and when the remote receiver is within range, returning a signal to effect operation of the barrier. The system is operable to effect operation or maintain the status quo of the barrier depending on the state of the barrier and a particular signal or lack of signal received by the controller from an authorized remote control unit or units. The system provides essentially hands-free automatic operation of opening and closing a garage door and the like.

摘要： An RFID transponder is embedded in a glass surface, such as a vehicle windshield, to provide for the storage and retrieval of vehicle related data. In an embodiment of the invention, the RFID device comprises a flexible circuit substrate with an antenna formed thereon and a transponder circuit disposed on the substrate and coupled to the antenna. In a multi-layer glass panel, the RFID device is disposed between adjacent ones of the glass layers and becomes embedded therein upon lamination of the glass layers together. Alternatively, the RFID device may be formed using one of the glass layers as a substrate, thereby avoiding the need for a distinct substrate layer. Where a glass panel has a transparent conductive layer for thermal insulation, the transparent conductive layer may be used to form a conductive portion of the RFID device. In a single layer glass panel, the RFID device is embedded into the glass while the glass is in a molten or plastic state.

摘要： An apparatus for sourcing an interrogation signal for use in a object identification system including a frequency hopping source for generation of an interrogation signal which is coupled to a homo dyne radio for transmission by a bi-directional antenna to a tag. Upon receipt, the tag provides a return signal that is backscatter modulated to include tag identification or other data which is processed by the sourcing system. The frequency hopping source includes a voltage controller oscillator which is driven by a pseudo random code generator for selecting one of a plurality of hopping frequencies at which the interrogation signal is to be generated based on the available bandwidth.

摘要： An on-board vehicle computer system for a vehicle includes at least one processing unit and a memory having stored therein computer-executable instructions configured to cause the on-board vehicle computer system to implement various aspects of a predictive cruise control (PCC) system. In one aspect, the computer system provides a plurality of available speed control bands in a PCC system, and the available speed control bands are selectable by an operator of the vehicle. In another aspect, the computer system provides an upper speed margin and a lower speed margin for a PCC system, and the upper and lower speed margins are adjustable by an operator of the vehicle. Related notifications may be presented via an operator interface (e.g., a touchscreen display provided in a vehicle dashboard or other easily accessible area).

摘要： Generally described, aspects of the disclosed subject matter are directed to managing communications from a mobile device. In accordance with one embodiment, a method for establishing a communication session with a contact is provided. The method includes causing information about at least one contact associated with the user to be displayed on the mobile device and receiving input to initiate a communication session with the contact. Then, if the identified contact is associated with a CB radio, a CB based communication session is established in which audio is transmitted and received from the mobile device using a CB radio communication unit. On the other hand, if the identified contact is associated with a remote device capable of performing data-based communications, a data-based communication session is established and which data is transmitted and received in accordance with IP-based protocols.

摘要： A vehicle safety system is disclosed that monitors vehicle surroundings, operational conditions, etc., in order to identify potential safety concerns or hazardous operational conditions. In doing so, the vehicle safety system collects data from one or more sources, such as sources that generate data from the vehicle itself (e.g., internal sensors), sources that generate data from the surroundings of the vehicle (e.g., external sensors), and sources that receive data from local or remote locations with respect to the host vehicle (e.g., a satellite, telematics, cellular, short or long range RF, etc., data acquisition unit). In response to data collected by components of the system, the system may use a hierarchical system to address the potential hazardous conditions or safety concerns.

摘要： An RFID transponder is provided with an active backscatter amplifier that amplifies and re-transmits a received signal. The RFID transponder comprises an antenna and a circulator having a first port connected to the antenna. A modulator is connected to a second port of the circulator. An amplifier is connected to a third port of the circulator, with the amplifier connected to the modulator. An RF signal impinging upon the antenna passes through the circulator, the amplifier, and the modulator, and returns to the antenna through the circulator. The modulator further comprises an input coupled to the second port of the circulator and an output coupled to an input of the amplifier. The amplifier has an output coupled to the third port of the circulator. The modulator is adapted to modulate the RF signal using on-off keying.
