Abstract: A vehicle turn signaling apparatus includes a light source that is powered by a turn signal circuit of the vehicle. The light source is configured to project a low divergence visible line onto a driving lane adjacent to the vehicle in response to activation of the turn signal circuit to visibly warn other drivers where a driver of the vehicle may intend to move the vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, comprising a circuit arrangement having at least one sensor (5) and a connected control unit (7), wherein the sensor (5) has at least two switching states (“open” and “closed”), which correspond to varying current intensity (I1; I2) at the output of said sensor and are detected by the control unit (7), and the two switching states (“open” and “closed”) of the sensor (5) belong to different current paths (6a; 6a, 6b) of a line network (6) and/or to different voltage states of an output line.

Abstract: A door system includes a sensor device for monitoring a vertical door edge. The sensor device has a transmitter that generates a light beam that runs along the vertical door edge, and a receiver to receive the light emitted by the transmitter. Further, an element of the sensor device is mounted in a region of a base of the door, with the sensor element being either in or on the base in front of the vertical door edge.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a device for protection against intrusions into the landing gear housings of an aircraft, including at least one sensor, for at least one housing, covering at least one housing entry area and connected to a calculator capable of processing the data from the sensor for detecting the intrusion of a target and generating intrusion occurrence information for triggering an alarm, wherein the calculator is connected to a device for providing aircraft flight phases and/or ground speed information, the device including a means adapted for changing the detection status from an active mode to an inactive mode based on the flight phases and/or ground speed information.

Abstract: An RFID read/write station includes read/write equipment with a transmitter, a receiver, a processor unit, and at least one read/write antenna. A first passive electronic tag is coupled via a first coupling element to an output from the transmitter and an input to the receiver with a pre-set coefficient of coupling, while a second passive electronic tag is coupled to a read/write antenna through a second coupling element with a pre-set coefficient of coupling. For the purpose of periodically or aperiodically monitoring the RFID read/write station, an identification of the first and second tags can be made and/or the data content of which can be read.

Abstract: To provide an information providing service system for railroad users, which enables provision of appropriate information according to a running status or the like of a train used by railroad users to improve convenience when the railroad users acquire information. A passenger who is holding an IC ticket with a wireless communication function and is on a car can acquire car information held by a train-information management device or information held by a ground system based on the car information held by the train-information management device via wireless communication of the IC ticket, and the passenger can confirm the acquired information on a display screen of the IC ticket.

Abstract: A control device has a first sensor set with a first detection region, a second sensor set with a second detection region, and a control unit for controlling a predetermined operation based on a detection result by the first sensor and a detection result by the second sensor.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclose a liquid level detecting device and method, which comprises: a control unit configured to output control instructions corresponding to environmental information according to the environmental information of a location of a sampling needle; an amplifying unit configured to set a gain according to the control instructions; a converting unit configured to receive and convert a capacitance signal from the sampling needle to a voltage signal; the amplifying unit receives the voltage signal and amplifies the voltage signal according to the gain; the control unit receives the amplified voltage signal and compares the amplified voltage signals with a preset voltage threshold to determine whether the sampling needle contacts the liquid level. Some embodiments further disclose a sample application system. Various embodiments consider both sensitivity and reliability of a detection system and is adaptable to various detection environments.

Abstract: A secure data entry device including a housing, a keypad mounted in the housing and including a plurality of selectably depressible keys, tampering alarm indication circuitry and at least one electrical conductor located in the housing in operative association with the keypad, the at least one electrical conductor being coupled to the tampering alarm indication circuitry and being arranged such that extraction of at least one of the plurality of selectably depressible keys results in at least one break in the at least one electrical conductor, which causes the tampering alarm indication circuitry to provide a tampering alarm indication.
