Patent number: 7038594Abstract: A circuit powering an electrical device based on a commanded current signal is provided. The circuit includes a linear current amplifier which sets a desired current flow. The circuit also dynamically controls a supply voltage in order to minimize power dissipation of the linear current amplifier. The circuit may also include a voltage drop measurement amplifier, a voltage shaping amplifier, and a switching power supply. The circuit is useful for controlling electrical devices requiring precise current control and minimal power dissipation, for example, driving light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that provide illumination inside the passenger compartment of a vehicle for an imaging occupant detection system.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2004Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Thomas L. Voreis, Songnian Li

Patent number: 6939823Abstract: A stripper and a stripping process for removing the flue gas carried by regenerated catalyst. A cylindrical stripper mainly comprises a degassing pipe at the longitudinal axis, a horizontal pipe connected with the lower end of the degassing pipe, several sets of inner annular baffles and outer annular baffles arranged in alternative arrangement along the vertical direction. Inner annular baffles are fixed on the degassing pipe, outer annular baffles are fixed on the inner wall of the cylinder. The degassing pipe has holes below each set of the inner annular baffles. The regenerated catalyst enters the stripper from the upper part, comes into a countercurrent and crosscurrent contact with steam from the annular steam conduit, and the stripped regenerated catalyst leaves the stripper from the bottom.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2004Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignees: China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., Research Institute of PetroleumInventors: Weimin Lu, Xieqing Wang, Xiaoxiang Zhong, Songnian Li

Patent number: 6753780Abstract: A motion sensing system and method for detecting an occupant in a vehicle with enhanced sensitivity to detect small movement, such as movement caused by heartbeat and breathing of an occupant. The system includes a radar motion sensor located in a compartment of the vehicle. The radar sensor transmits and receives signals within the compartment and generates sensed signals. The system has a controller for converting the sensed signals to a frequency domain. The controller further processes the frequency domain of sensed signals and determines the presence of movement of an occupant due to one of heartbeat and breathing of the occupant.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2002Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Songnian Li

Patent number: 6243323Abstract: An ultrasonic ranging system and method for detecting the presence of and distance to a target using ultrasonic sound waves generated by an ultrasonic transducer with reduced audible noise. Electrical ultrasonic signal pulses are modulated according to a smooth modulation envelope and a transducer drive signal is generated from the modulated signal pulses. The transducer drive signal drives an ultrasonic transducer which generates ultrasonic sound waves for transmission in a desired path, and further receives ultrasonic sound waves reflected from targets in the transmission path. The received ultrasonic sound waves are converted to an electrical signal that is processed by a processor to provide time and distance information to the target. The distance information is computed by using a middle time value for the transmitted and received signals.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 1999Date of Patent: June 5, 2001Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Songnian Li
