Patent number: 8098144Abstract: The invention relates to an anti-theft alarm system for vehicle wheels. The system comprises at least one wireless measuring module for determining kinetic state information characterizing the kinetic state of a vehicle wheel on the basis of acceleration measurement. The wireless measuring module is further configured to be attached to the vehicle wheel, to generate a wireless data transfer signal on the basis of the kinetic state information and transmit the wireless data transfer signal. The system further comprises at least one wireless central processing unit, which is configured to receive the wireless data transfer signal and execute a predetermined alarm function when the wireless data transfer signal fulfils predetermined conditions.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2006Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: W-Secure OyInventors: Jarkko Honkonen, Yrjö Jurvansuu, Teijo Hildén, Toivo Vilmi

Patent number: 5530923Abstract: A dual mode transmitter circuit is disclosed including a non-linear high-power amplifier having an amplification that can be adjusted and a linear high-power amplifier. A first switch and a second switch are connected to the input and output of the linear, high-power amplifier. An amplification-adjustable, high-frequency transmitter control amplifier is connected to the input of the non-linear high-power amplifier. Apparatus for measuring transmission power such as a directional coupler is connected to the second switch, and a duplex filter is connected to the directional coupler. A power level control circuit is responsive to the measured transmission power from the directional coupler and to a power level signal. The power level signal is representative of the desired output power of the transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 1994Date of Patent: June 25, 1996Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones Ltd.Inventors: Jarmo Heinonen, Jaakko Hulkko, Toivo Vilmi
