More particularly, the housing contains therein, a controller and at least one electronic input device electrically coupled to the controller, where the controller causes the lock to transition between a locked position to an unlocked position responsive to input from the electronic input device.
Abstract:
Vehicle with wireless sensors includes a frame, at least one sensor assembly fixed to the frame and each including a sensor arranged to obtain data about a condition or property of the vehicle or part thereof or an environment in or around the vehicle, and a wireless transmission component coupled to the sensor for wirelessly transmitting a signal derived from the data obtained by the sensor, a receiver fixed to the frame arranged to receive signals from the wireless transmission component, and a reactive component for performing an action based on the data obtained by the sensor and transmitted from the wireless transmission component to the receiver. The data can be displayed as an indication to the driver or other occupant of the vehicle, relayed the data to a remote location for analysis or response and/or used to determine adjustment or control a component in the vehicle.
Abstract:
A garage door opener (GDO) communications gateway module includes a receiver for receiving garage door signals and a transmitter for transmitting control signals to a GDO operable for opening and closing a garage door of a garage of a house. The transmitter transmits a control signal to the GDO to control the garage door upon receipt of a garage door signal by the receiver. The module includes a Bluetooth enabled first transceiver for communicating with a Bluetooth enabled appliance of a vehicle over a wireless communications path when the vehicle is located within the vicinity of the garage. The module includes a second transceiver for communicating with a device of the house over another communications path. The vehicle appliance and the house device communicate with one another over the communications paths via the transceivers. The receiver, the transmitter, and the transceivers are contained within a housing mountable to the garage.
Abstract:
A trainable transceiver for learning and transmitting an activation signal that includes an RF carrier frequency modulated with a code for remotely actuating a device, such as a garage door opener. The trainable transceiver preferably includes a controller, a signal generator, and a dynamically tunable antenna having a variable impedance that may be selectively controlled in accordance with a detector circuit signal. The detector circuit provides a measurement of the transmission power and is also used to vary the applied transmission power of the transceiver in response to operating and environmental parameters.
Abstract:
A system and method for use in wireless communication includes selectively connecting a communication circuit to at least one of multiple antennas. Each antenna is optimized for operation in one of multiple designated frequency bands.
Abstract:
A method and system for communicating information between a vehicle and a device located in a house. The system includes a vehicle appliance integrated in a vehicle. The vehicle appliance has a Bluetooth® enabled communications module. The system further includes a garage located in the vicinity of the house. The garage has a garage door opener mounted therein. The garage door opener has a Bluetooth® enabled communications module and a transceiver. The communications modules wirelessly communicate with one another when the vehicle is located in the vicinity of the garage. The system further includes a device such as a personal computer or a home security or lighting system located in the house. The device and the transceiver of the garage door opener wirelessly communicate with one another. The vehicle appliance and the device wirelessly communicate with one another via the communications module and the transceiver of the garage door opener.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a building or security closure device (2), more particularly door (2), included a wing (3) powered by a motor assembly (23) and a monitoring or controller means (15) for controlling or monitoring travel of the door leaf (3), the monitoring or controller means (15) comprising a first, stationary electrotechnical unit (12, 13) and a second movable electrotechnical unit (5-10, 16) traveling with the wing (3) for communicating with the stationary unit (12, 13). To simplify installation and maintenance of the device, lengthen its useful life, reduce its costs of production and installation and in avoiding the negative consequences of faulty installation it is proposed in accordance with the invention that an energy transducer means (1, 9) is provided for transducing energy applied wireless on said wing, preferably non-electrical energy, more particularly mechanical energy and/or radiation energy into electrical energy, such as current and/or voltage, said transducer means being mounted on the wing (3) for energy supply of said traveling second electrotechnical unit (5-10, 16) and that a transmitter/receiver system (17) is provided for wireless communication of the two units (12, 13; 5-10, 16). The invention relates in addition to an operator as well as to a controller means for such a powered building or security closure device.
Abstract:
In an auxiliary safety sensor 6 which has a first sensor set composed of a first transmitter 61 and a first receiver 63 located opposite to each other and a second sensor set composed of a second transmitter 62 and a second receiver 64 located opposite to each other, a test operation is performed by emitting a light beam only from the first transmitter 61. The state of misconnection is confirmed when a connection point 73 for the first receiver 61 does not receive predetermined light acceptance data for the amount of received light. To solve the misconnection, the light acceptance data based on the signals from the receivers 63, 64 are exchanged between each other, before they are supplied to the data acquisition means 8.
