Patent number: 10611241Abstract: An illuminated pointer cap for an vehicle instrument panel outputs different colors from a white light source by directing the white light through different color filters. The white light is transmitted through a light-conductive substrate and reflected to the color filters by triangular-shaped undercuts formed in one side of the substrate that is opposite the color filters.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Continental Automotive Systems, Inc.Inventors: Vyacheslav Birman, Enrique Chavez

Publication number: 20200041720Abstract: Image information from a region of a rectangular flat-panel device is made to appear round or nearly round by routing light from a region of the flat panel display device into the narrow end of a bundle of tapered fiber optic cables. Each cable in the bundle is tapered over its length. The taper effectively causes an image input into the narrow end to be enlarged or magnified at the opposing wider end.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2019Publication date: February 6, 2020Inventors: Irving Morales Rodriguez, Enrique Chavez Luna, Hermes Ivan Rodriguez-Apodaca

Patent number: 9865047Abstract: Systems and methods for providing improved wafer geometry measurements are disclosed. A wafer geometry measurement system may utilize techniques that enable the wafer geometry measurement system to identify and reduce wafer surface errors caused by structures such as patterns on the wafers being measured. The wafer geometry measurement system may also utilize techniques that enable the wafer geometry measurement system to accurately reconstruct patterned wafer surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2015Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: KLA-Tencor CorporationInventors: Haiguang Chen, Jaydeep Sinha, Enrique Chavez, Sathish Veeraraghavan

Patent number: 9702829Abstract: Interferometer systems and methods for providing improved defect detection and quantification are disclosed. The systems and methods in accordance with the present disclosure may detect surface defects on patterned or bare wafer surfaces and subsequently quantify them. In certain embodiments in accordance with the present disclosure, amplitude maps of the wafer surfaces are obtained and are utilized in addition/alternative to phase maps for wafer surface feature detection. Furthermore, local one-dimensional and/or two-dimensional unwrapping techniques are also disclosed and are utilized in certain embodiments in accordance with the present disclosure to provide height and depth information of the detected defects, further improving the detection capabilities of the measurement systems.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2014Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: KLA-Tencor CorporationInventors: Haiguang Chen, Jaydeep Sinha, Sergey Kamensky, Enrique Chavez, Shouhong Tang, Mark Plemmons

Patent number: 9428017Abstract: A valve assembly having a housing, and a valve portion disposed in the housing, where the valve is able to change between an open position and a closed position. The valve assembly also includes a variable pneumatic device disposed in the housing, which is able to change between a first configuration and a second configuration, and an inner cavity in fluid communication with the housing. An exhaust aperture is formed as part of the housing, and as pressure builds in the variable pneumatic device, the variable pneumatic device changes from the first configuration to the second configuration such that air is prevented from flowing around the variable pneumatic device, and air flowing through the valve body passes through the exhaust aperture.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Continental Automotive Systems, Inc.Inventors: Enrique Chavez Luna, Diego Alejandro Alvarez-Alonso, Antonio Moya Carrillo

Publication number: 20150197152Abstract: Velocity Control System is an interactive process between GPS satellite and each vehicle, where the possible maximum speed developed for each car is controlled by satellite, using an electronic module described in this article. The allowed maximum speed will vary depending on location, time or particular situations, in an automatic way, or by voluntary action for the police department. With this invention, car accidents will be considerably reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2014Publication date: July 16, 2015Inventor: Enrique Chavez

Publication number: 20130311075Abstract: A safety system for motorcycle comprises at least one sensor mounted to the motorcycle to sense a feature of an environment surrounding the vehicle. An electronic control unit is configured to receive a signal from the at least one sensor and determine a probability that a safety incident may occur based upon the at least one feature. The probability is compared to at least a first threshold and the electronic control unit is configured to send at least one indicator signal when the at least one feature is above the first threshold. The indicator signal may be displayed on a helmet display. The safety system may be one of blind spot detection, forward collision alert, rear collision alert, cross-traffic alert, merging-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and traffic sign recognition.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2013Publication date: November 21, 2013Applicant: Continental Automotive Systems, Inc.Inventors: Vinh H Tran, David Muscat, Juan Rivera Cruz, Antonio Moya Carrillo, Diego Alejandro Alvarez Alonso, Enrique Chavez

Patent number: 8170265Abstract: An example vehicle instrument panel includes a speaker for producing alert and warning sounds. A membrane prevents water from intruding into the speaker assembly and instrument panel. The membrane is spaced apart from the speaker and over an open end of the speaker housing. Sound energy from the speaker travels through an open space against the membrane. The membrane possesses acoustic properties to receive and pass on the sound energy.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2008Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Continental Automotive Systems US, Inc.Inventors: Jurgen C. Hagedorn-Maillard, Enrique Chavez-Luna
