Abstract:
A sensor for use with vehicular components. The sensors may comprise transmitting and receiving antennas that can be interleaved or placed within the various materials throughout the vehicle so that interaction with the materials will provide information related to the use. Sensors may also infuse signal into an occupant within the vehicle via the material which can provide enhanced interactions with various vehicle features and components.

Claim (Index 17):
A vehicle seat having a sensor, comprising:\n a plurality of antennas; a signal generation source adapted to generate a plurality of unique frequency-orthogonal signals, the signal generation source being operatively connected to at least two of the plurality of antennas and configured to transmit at least one of the plurality of unique frequency-orthogonal signals to each antenna to which it is operatively connected; a signal receiver operatively connected to at least two more of the plurality of antennas other than the at least two of the plurality of antennas, the at least two more of the antennas and the at least two of the plurality antennas being selected such that a touch event in proximity with respect to one of the at least two of the plurality of antennas and one of the at least two more of the plurality antennas causes a change in coupling therebetween such that;\n (a) a touch event in proximity thereto causes a change in coupling therebetween, or \n (b) a change in the position of the at least two of the plurality of antennas with respect to the two more of the plurality of antennas causes a change in coupling therebetween; \n a signal processor operatively connected to the signal receiver, the signal processor adapted to periodically make at least one measurement associated with each of the generated unique frequency-orthogonal signals; and a detector module configured to use the at least one measurement associated with each of the generated unique frequency-orthogonal signals to determine a use of the seat.
