Patent EP-0921056-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DUPAY STEVEN CRAIG
IPC: B62D53/08
Filed: 1998-10-08
Abstract: The coupling alignment warning system (CAWS) of the instant invention is
designed to provide the driver of a towing unit (60),  e.g.,  a commercial truck, with
visual and/or audible cues that indicate whether the towing unit (60) is aligned relative to
a towed unit (62), e.g. a trailer, for proper engagement of the coupling components
mounted thereon, including a fifth wheel hitch (78) on the towing unit (60) and a king
pin (74) on the trailer. The CAWS combines a laser light source (12) and a series of
sensors (28,30) with a reflective target (70) to provide alignment information to the user.
In particular, the system combines a low-power laser diode (12) mounted on the towing
unit (60) with a retro-reflective target (70) that is attached, preferably temporarily, on
the towed unit (62). The target (70) will continuously return positive coupling alignment
information back to the sensors (28,30) as long as laser light impinges upon the target
(70) ,  i.e.,  as long as target acquisition is maintained. The sensors (28,30) transmit
detection signals to a processing unit that includes a microprocessor and relay. The
microprocessor is programmed to calculate a threshold level of light that is based on
sensed ambient light signals. In operation, the microprocessor decodes the detected light
and determines whether the detected light level reaches the threshold level of light. If
so, the CAWS indicates to the user that target acquisition has been achieved, and thus,
that the towing unit (60) is aligned with the towed unit (62) for positive coupling. The
microprocessor also controls the relay, thus controlling the delivery of power to the laser
light source (12) so that the system can continually compute an updated threshold level
of light based on the ambient light in the surrounding operating environment. As a
result, the system minimizes the chance of triggering on false light signals,
notwithstanding varying ambient light conditions. The CAWS is particularly useful in
zero or low visibility conditions because it can be used in conjunction with mirrors and
external reference points to provide reliable position information to the user.

Abstract: A controller for a voice coil actuator includes sensors that are
connected with the actuator probe to monitor both the linear and angular
position of the probe, as well as the axial and rotational forces on the probe.
Using predetermined instructions, the probe can be controlled in either an
open loop mode or in a closed loop feedback mode, for either static or
dynamic operations. For static operations, the axial and rotational forces on
the probe can be controlled by referencing set values for the forces which are
to be applied to/by the probe. For dynamic operations, in addition to the axial
and rotational forces on the probe, the linear and angular movements of the
probe can be controlled. In the closed loop mode, linear and angular
positions, velocities, and accelerations can be used for control. In its
operation, the controller selectively establishes linear and rotational
movements and forces for the probe which are useful in accomplishing the
wide variety of tasks wherein such forces and movements are required.

Abstract: A stylus for use in a coordinate input system (e.g.
digitizer tablet system) includes a finger wheel. The
degree of rotation of the finger wheel by the user determines
the extent to which a chosen graphical parameter
(e.g. line thickness, color, shading, gray scale, etc.)
is varied. Thus, a user can easily vary the graphical
parameter while drawing by merely rotating the finger
wheel about its fixed rotational axis. Preferably, rotation
of the wheel causes an intermediate gear wheel with
teeth thereon to rotate which in turn causes a potentiometer
to detect the degree of rotation of the finger
wheel. In alternative embodiments of this invention, a
touchpad for inputting finger position and/or finger
pressure information may be provided on the side of the
stylus instead of the finger wheel.
