  • Telematics system and method of communication
    Patent number: 8190139
    Abstract: A telematics system and method is provided, wherein the telematics system includes a processor having a core, a cell in communication with the core, and an applications processor in communication with the mobile processor. The system further includes at least one communication channel in communication between the mobile processor and the applications processor, wherein the mobile processor and the applications processor communicate data over the at least one communication channel during normal operation of a telematics system, and the mobile processor and applications processor communicate data over the at least one communication channel when the telematics system is at least one of being developed and manufactured.

  • Method and apparatus for controlling transponder signaling
    Patent number: 5748106
    Abstract: A battery powered transponder in a vehicle for communicating with a toll station or weigh station lights one of a few LEDs to indicate whether a bypass of the station is authorized or denied. A transmit/receive circuit sends data to an IC which signals the instruction to a microprocessor which is programmed to activate the proper LED when so instructed for a short period and then maintains a recall state for a long period. A pushbutton switch connected to the microprocessor, if operated within the long period, triggers a replay of the proper LED to verify the instruction while minimizing power consumption.
