  • Patent number: 12227036
    Abstract: A tire pressure monitoring system includes tire pressure sensors installed within vehicle tires, a receiver, an alerting device, an electronic input/output device and an electronic controller. The receiver receives tire pressure signals from the tire pressure sensors, The electronic input/output device provides manual input of instruction and data. The electronic controller is configured to monitor tire pressure and in response to tire pressure in each of vehicle tires achieving a change from a first preset tire pressure to a second preset tire pressure the alerting device is operated to alert a person changing the tire pressure that the change has been achieved. The first preset tire pressure corresponds to paved road driving conditions and the second preset tire pressure corresponds to off-road driving conditions.

  • Publication number: 20050183926
    Abstract: Techniques include sensing electric signals from an actuator during a document stacking operation and determining whether an abnormal event has occurred based on the sensed signals. The techniques may find particular applicability, for example, to document acceptors that include piston-type stackers driven by a direct current motor.
