  • System and method of providing scalable sensor systems based on stand alone sensor modules
    Patent number: 7061372
    Abstract: A stand alone sensor module having built in intelligence that provides object detection for a both a vehicle and stationary applications. The system includes a processor connected to a sensor and a signal interface. The processor receives signals from the sensor and the signal interface and generates a status signal based on the signals received from the sensor and the signal interface. The processor drives the status signal to the signal interface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 18, 2003
    Date of Patent: June 13, 2006
    Assignee: Altra Technologies, Incorporated
    Inventors: Richard A. Gunderson, David Thiede, Michael A. Parisi, R. Jeffrey Nelson
