  • Patent number: 8570146
    Abstract: An in-vehicle wireless system, capable of operating at least in a copy mode and a transmission mode, comprises: at least one receiving unit receiving a wireless signal transmitted from a remote control transmitter and demodulates a control code signal; and at least one transmitting unit transmitting wireless signals at a plurality of carrier frequencies; and a control unit controlling so as to obtain a control code from the control code signal and store it in the copy mode, and so as to perform transmitting the modulated wireless signals at all carrier frequencies unique to a plurality of the garage door opening-closing mechanisms or the like. The receiving unit may include a detection circuit connected to a reception antenna directly.

  • Patent number: 7717507
    Abstract: A head rest of a vehicle seat may include a head support portion for supporting a head of a passenger, and a drive unit for moving the head support portion. The drive unit has a moving mechanism that is arranged and constructed to move the head support portion toward and away from the passenger head, an actuator for actuating the moving mechanism, a load detecting device that can detect a load applied to the actuator and generate a control signal representative of the detected load, and a controller that can control the actuator so as to control the moving mechanism. The controller controls the moving mechanism so as to move the head support portion toward the passenger head. The controller controls the moving mechanism based on the control signal so as to stop the motion of the head support portion.
