Abstract: An antitheft system installed on a motor vehicle has an electronic control unit connected to a localization information detector and to a telephone apparatus, so that the control unit can produce a voice message and then transmit it directly to the police and/or to a security organization by means of the telephone apparatus, when a plurality of sensors detect certain conditions such as the theft of the vehicle. The message may also be sent by the system to a person authorized to use the motor vehicle by means of a transmitter-receiver radio and a portable transceiver radio. Voice messages are contained in a first mass memory unit, localization information derived from a second mass memory unit, the message selected on the basis of satellite signals received and decoded by the system.
Abstract: An Integrated Power and Signal Transmission System A system is described which links by means of a pair of lines the command signals in square waveform from a unit broadcasting such command signals to an operating unit lying a long distance sway so that since the signals are sent at a low voltage of about 36 V and a frequency of about 1 kHz, they are enough after being stored in top quality capacitors to provide power to the operating point at said operating unit, without there being any need to stop power supply when signals are being sent, as used to happen in the previous system. Such system is particularly suitable for the transmiting of operating signals and the receiving of information from a wellhead.

Abstract: This invention relates to traffic control means for emergency-type vehicles including an on-board plotter screen having a diagram of streets, roads, highways and the like displayed thereon. A light pen is used to draw the preferred route which is then either accepted or rejected in part or as a whole by a computer based on a current street condition program. Once the route has been accepted a traffic signal map program can be activated that will automatically control traffic along the route to the destination of the emergency vehicle.
