Title: Automatic headlamp levelling device
Inventor: TODA ATSUSHI
IPC: B60Q1/115
Filed: 2000-02-14
Abstract: Headlamp 1 is driven by an actuator 10 so that a light axis L of the headlamp can be tilted up or down relative to a vehicle body. Sensor 12 detects the vehicle speed and sensor 14 detects a pitch angle of the vehicle. Control section 16 controls the driving of the actuator based on the pitch angle data so that the light axes of the headlamps stay in a certain tilted state relative to the surface of a road. Storage section 20 stores a plurality of data ranging from latest pitch angle data to pitch angle data detected a predetermined time period prior to the latest data. When the vehicle is at a stop, which is determined by sensor 12 and timer 24, the actuator 10 is driven to adjust the headlamp based on the latest pitch angle data at intervals stored at 22 related to the maximum driving time of the actuator for a levelling operation. However, when the vehicle is starting, the actuator is driven to adjust the headlamp based on pitch angle data detected the predetermined time period prior to the latest data. Control may only take place when the headlamps are turned on. The control is such that the frequency at which the headlamps are unnecessarily adjusted is reduced to improve service life and reduce cost and so that incorrect levelling due to vehicle pitching during initial acceleration at starting is prevented.

Title: Method and apparatus for monitoring communication connections within and across time zones
Inventor: SHAFFER SHMUEL
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 2000-08-02
Abstract: A method and a system to monitor communication connections from a calling communication terminal to a target communication terminal during predetermined time periods, so as to prevent calls placed at undesirable times from being automatically connected to the target communication terminal. The method includes selecting predetermined time periods (34). Preferably, the system is set to monitor all incoming calls during the predetermined time period, regardless of the calls' originating time zones, utilizing a telephony-over-LAN (TOL) application. When the system is set for monitoring incoming calls exclusively within the same time zone as the target communication terminal or monitoring incoming calls exclusively outside the target communication terminal, the system cross-checks the caller identification information against area codes and country codes contained in a local database (42). In response to detecting an incoming call (36) that is received within one of the predetermined time periods and that is set to be monitored, the system will (i) play a message informing the caller of the local time of the target communication terminal; (ii) play an announcement indicating that the call is being made within a predetermined time period in which calls are being monitored; and (iii) offer the caller the option of abandoning the call before it is connected (44).
