Patent number: 11440462Abstract: A liftgate lighting system for a vehicle includes a liftgate assembly having a first liftgate panel and a second liftgate panel. Each of the first liftgate panel and the second liftgate panel is operable between an opened position and a closed position. The second liftgate panel has a proximal end and a distal end. A sensor proximate to the proximal end of the second liftgate panel. The sensor defines a sensor field. A lamp assembly is coupled to the second liftgate panel. A controller is communicatively coupled to the lamp assembly. The controller activates the lamp assembly and the lamp assembly directs light to a ground area proximate to the second liftgate panel when the lower liftgate panel is in the opened position.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2021Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Stuart C. Salter, Paul Kenneth Dellock, Peter Phung, Clayton Benjamin Ford, David M. Diamond, Aaron Bradley Johnson

Publication number: 20220185170Abstract: This disclosure relates to an exterior lighting system for a motor vehicle. An example system includes a plurality of lights configured to illuminate an area adjacent the motor vehicle, a plurality of sensors, and a controller configured to selectively activate and deactivate the lights based on signals from the sensors. The example system includes various aspects configured to preserve energy, including reducing the polling rate of sensors corresponding to deactivated lights, increasing light intensity in proportion to the speed of detected motion, and only illuminating those lights that correspond to locations of a recognized user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2020Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: Stuart C. Salter, Hussein Berry, Clayton Benjamin Ford, Paul Kenneth Dellock, David Brian Glickman, Dave Diamond

Patent number: 11247635Abstract: A system for providing access to a vehicle includes first and second closure panels of the vehicle that are operable between open and closed positions. The system also includes a sensing system of the vehicle that senses at least one characteristic of a user positioned in an exterior environment of the vehicle. The system further includes a controller that determines a load carrying condition of the user based on the at least one characteristic of the user sensed by the sensing system. The controller prompts movement of the first closure panel from the closed position to the open position based on a determination of a first load carrying condition of the user. The controller also prompts movement of the first and second closure panels from the closed positions to the open positions based on a determination of a second load carrying condition of the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2021Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Stuart C. Salter, Annette Lynn Huebner, Kristopher Karl Brown, David Michael Diamond, Clayton Benjamin Ford
