US Patent:

6477893, Nov 12, 2002

Filed:

Sep 8, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/658018

Inventors:

Miomir Blagoje Djordjevic - Milwaukee WI

Assignee:

Dana Corporation - Toledo OH

International Classification:

F16D 6602

US Classification:

73129, 188 111 L

Abstract:

A progressive brake lining wear having a triangular wedged shaped resistive member disposed between a pair of conductive plates to define a triangular shaped sensor. The sensor is disposed within an erodable molding and connected to a sensing circuit. A pair of leads are connected one each to a ground lead and a resistive lead which in turn are connected to a closed sensing circuit. The ground lead and resistance lead and thermistor lead emerge from the encapsulated sensor for connection to the sensing circuit. The sensor is disposed within the brake lining and is connected to the brake shoe. As the brake lining progressively wears, the triangular wedged shaped resistive member is progressively worn away thus continuously changing the overall resistance of the sensor. The change in resistance provides for continuous indicates of the state of wear.

Eaton Corporation - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

G01J 5/00

US Classification:

250330

Abstract:

A motor vehicle has a video system that analyzes images of the interior of the vehicle to detect certain characteristics for controlling functions of the vehicle, such as detecting the presence of a person on the seat to control deployment of air bags in the event of a crash. The system employs infrared light to illuminate the vehicle interior without affecting the driver's ability to see the highway. In order to distinguish different objects in the image which have similar colors, such as a person dressed in black sitting on a black seat, a selected object, such as the seat, are coated with a substance that alters the object's reflectivity to infrared light, while not changing the reflectivity to visible light. Thus analysis of the infrared image can distinguish between the objects without affecting the appearance of the vehicle interior to a human user.

International Classification:

H01Q 1/38
H01P 11/00
H01Q 21/28

US Classification:

343893, 343700 MS, 29600

Abstract:

Thin, flexible antenna arrangements for use in communication devices, such as mobile communications devices, and methods of making and using the antenna arrangements are provided. The methods used to make the antenna arrangements are print-based and provide a simplified procedure, with a reduced number of process steps, the use of fewer materials and the production of less material waste than conventional methods based on etching and die cutting.
