Patent CA-2499740-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WEHNER LAWRENCE C
IPC: G01S5/00
Filed: 2003-09-30
Abstract: Wireless communication between vehicles may permit position information about one vehicle to be communicated directly to another vehicle. Such an information exchange between vehicles may increase the awareness of an operator of a vehicle to other vehicles in the surrounding environment and may help a vehicle operator operate the vehicle more safely. Vehicles may share through the use of wireless communications position, direction, speed, or other information, such as the deployment of safety devices or the presence of particular types of vehicles (e.g., an emergency vehicle or school bus). The vehicle that receives a wireless communication compares the position, direction, and speed of incoming information from another vehicle to the vehicle~s own speed, direction, and postion to determine whether action is required. The action taken by the vehicle may include providing general or specific warnings to the operator of the vehicle or, in some cases, taking direct action, such as turning off cruise control, applying brakes, or deploying traction control.

Abstract: A gas sensor capable of reversibly and continuously measuring the concentration of a catalyst poison gas such as CO without specially needing a recovering means such as a heater, and measuring a catalyst poison gas concentration without being affected by an H2O concentration. The electrical circuit (15) of the gas sensor has an ac power supply (19) for applying an a c voltage to between both electrodes (3), (5), an ac voltmeter (21) for measuring an ac voltage (ac effective voltage V) between the both electrodes (3), (5), and an ac ammeter (23) for measuring a current (ac effective curre nt I) running between the both electrodes (3), (5). An impedance is determined from an ac effective voltage V and an ac effective current I generated when an ac voltage is applied to the both electrodes (3), (5). Since this impedance corresponds to a catalyst poison gas concentration, a catalyst poison gas concentration can be determined from an impedance by using a map showing the relation between an impedance and a catalyst poison gas concentration.</SDOA B>
