    摘要: An object detection system includes an acoustic wave generator to generate an acoustic wave by generating heat upon energization and a processing circuit to perform object detection processing to detect an object in target space using an acoustic wave generated by the acoustic wave generator. The object detection processing includes setting processing, wave transmission processing, and determination processing. The setting processing sets a search range corresponding to a distance to the object in the target space. The wave transmission processing controls the acoustic wave generator to generate an acoustic wave at a target sound pressure associated with a search range set in the setting processing. The determination processing acquires, from a wave receiver to receive an acoustic wave from the target space, a received-wave signal representing an acoustic wave received by the wave receiver and determines whether the object is present based on the received-wave signal.

    摘要: An ultrasonic sensor includes a transmitter configured to transmit an output wave signal in an ultrasonic region using a piezoelectric element, a receiver configured to receive an input wave signal in the ultrasonic region using the piezoelectric element or an additional piezoelectric element, and a logic part configured to control the transmitter and the receiver. The transmitter is configured to superimpose ID information on the output wave signal. The logic part is configured to perform proximity detection and distance measurement of a detection object by identifying the input wave signal based on the ID information.

    摘要: Methods, systems and device are provided for improving the range and accuracy of proximity measurement such as in ultrasonic sensing systems. In particular, the blind zone caused by reverberation signals can be reduced or eliminated by attenuating signals received during the time period corresponding to the blind zone without. In an implementation, an attenuator circuit is selected by a switch to process received signals during the blind zone time period and deselected by the switch after the time zone time period. Additionally, the accuracy and range of the measurement can be improved by varying the gain provided to the received signals based on the varying measuring distance. In an implementation, a gain-adjustable amplifier is controlled by a gain control signal to provide incremental gain as time increases.

    摘要: An obstacle detection apparatus for vehicles includes: a first ultrasonic sensor for detecting a distance to an obstacle; a second ultrasonic sensor at a position of the vehicle for receiving a reflection wave from the obstacle of an ultrasonic wave from the first ultrasonic wave; a notifier that gives a notification of detecting the obstacle present within a preset distance in one or more of predetermined notification areas including a first notification area for the first ultrasonic sensor, and a second notification area for the second ultrasonic sensor detects the obstacle for the vehicle; and a controller that controls contents to be notified by the notifier. Furthermore, the controller determines whether a first indirect wave distance and a second indirect wave distance are used to determine whether to give the notification of detecting the obstacle in the first notification area.
