  • Patent number: 9650235
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for distinguishing the correct type of fuel to be disposed in a vehicle (4) is provided. The apparatus includes an RFID tag (40) disposed on one of a vehicle (4) or a fuel providing means (2), and a radio receiving means (42) disposed on the other of the vehicle (4) or fuel providing means (2). A signal, indicative of a type of fuel, is emitted by the RFID tag (40) and compared with a predetermined radio signal stored in a storage means (41), and a warning is generated on the basis of a determination of correspondence between the detected radio signal and predetermined radio signal. The present invention therefore provides a safe and reliable system that removes or reduces human decision from a refuelling process, and ensures the correct fuel is provided to the vehicle (4).

  • Patent number: 8816837
    Abstract: An in-vehicle information display system including a GPS receiver that determines the location of a vehicle, and a user interface for communicating information received over a wireless communication network. The information received over the wireless communications network is communicated to a user interface depending on the velocity of the vehicle. Further, the content of the information received over the wireless communications network and communicated to the user depends on the velocity of the vehicle. The system makes use of a head-up display so that content information is only directed to the user. A method communicates information over a wireless communications network to a vehicle.
