Inventor: JONES DAVID
IPC: B60C23/06
Filed: 1997-02-05
Abstract: A method of detecting a deflated tyre on a vehicle by comparing the rolling radii of the tyres by means of comparing angular velocity speed signal values C1, C2, C3 and C4 from wheel speed sensors on wheels 1-4 at the left-hand front, right-hand front, left-hand rear and right-hand rear wheel positions respectively, comprising the step of calculating an error value DEL' in normal driving by processing the four angular velocity speed signal values C1-C4 in a central process unit (10) which subtracts the sum of the signal values from one pair of diagonally opposite wheels from the sum of the signal values from the other pair of diagonally opposite wheels and expressing the result as a percentage of the mean of the sums       DEL' = (C1+C4-C2-C3) x 50/((C1+C2+C3+C4)/4),          the step of sensing when the magnitude of the error value DEL' is between a DEL'MIN value of 0.05 and a DEL'MAX value of 0.5 and when it is carrying out the step of deciding which tyre is apparently deflated by comparison of the angular velocity speed signal values C1-C4 with each other, and finally operating a tyre warning indicator in the vehicle to warn the driver that that particular tyre is deflated, characterised by a semi-automatic standardisation procedure initiated by the driver comprising firstly recording a data-set DS of four values Ct1-Ct4 comprising the total wheel speed signal values C1-C4 for each wheel 1-4 in a predetermined time period t, secondly deciding if the data-set DS is acceptable or unacceptable, repeating the said recording and deciding until a predetermined number N of acceptable data-sets Ds have been accumulated, deriving wheel speed factors FAW(1)-FAW(4) for each of the four wheels 1-4 respectively by dividing the accumulated overall total number of wheel speed signal values Ctl-Ct4 of each wheel 1-4 by the accumulated overall total wheel speed signal values of any one of the wheels 1-4, and subsequently in normal driving correcting the four wheel speed signal values C1-C4 by dividing each value by its respective wheel speed factor FAW(1)-FAW(4) and using these corrected wheel speed values to calculate the error value DEL'.

Abstract: A connector assembly comprising a retainer (38) mounted axially to tubing,
conduit, rod, cable or other axially loaded components behind a male insert (32) having an
annular ring or bead or an expanded end portion (36). Upon assembly of the male insert
and retainer into a female receptor (20), the retainer arm's spring extensions (40) compress to
permit entry into the female receptor and once past an annular protrusion (30B) in the
receptor, resume their normal state. This prevents the female receptor and the male
insert from disengaging by the interference between the annular ring, the annular
protrusion and the retainer arms.

Abstract: The fingerprint image is collected by relative sliding motion between a finger (11) and the sensor (10). The sensor is in the form of a bar that is longer than a finger is wide, but is relatively narrow compared to the length. The sensor thus 'scans' the fingerprint. The sensor is an integrated circuit with an active layer that is sensitive to pressure and/or temperature. The image of the fingerprint is formed from a matrix of sensor elements. A circuit integrated in the sensor delivers the image as it is scanned in a multiplexed form. The partial images are delivered to a processing unit that reconstructs the full image of the fingerprint from the scanned information.

Abstract: A rotational speed sensor (29) generates pulses having a
period proportional to the speed of a motor, and a pulse period
calculator section (32) calculates the period of the pulses. A
jamming determination section (36) calculates the motor load
based on the pulse period and determines that an object is
jammed when the load exceeds a predetermined threshold. Once
it has been judged than an object is jammed, a drive control
section (40) stops the motor, then controls the motor for
reverse rotation, thereby releasing the object. A door opening
and closing detection section (34) further detects the opening
or closing operation of a door which is one disturbance factor.
If the door is opened or closed, an inhibit control section
(38) inhibits jamming judgment for a predetermined period of
time thereafter. This prevents an incorrect judgment due to
the opening or closing of the door.
