  • Patent number: 10862413
    Abstract: An electrical assembly includes a motor, a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, and a fourth switch. The first switch may be connected to a first contact of the motor, and/or the second switch may be connected to a second contact of the motor. The third switch may be connected to the first switch, and/or the fourth switch may be connected to the second switch. The first switch, the second switch, the third switch, and/or the fourth switch may be configured to switch the electrical assembly between a first state, a second state, and/or a third state. If the electrical assembly is in the first state, at least one of the first contact and/or the second contact of the motor may be connected to an open circuit, and/or the motor may be configured to rotate freely.

  • Publication number: 20200346597
    Abstract: An electrical assembly includes a primary controller, a secondary controller, and a switch assembly. The primary controller, the secondary controller, and/or the switch assembly may be electrically connected, and/or the secondary controller may be configured to control the primary controller according to a position of a switch of the switch assembly. The switch assembly may be connected to the primary controller, and/or the primary controller may be configured to control movement of a vehicle seat according to the position of the switch. The primary controller may include a first state and/or a second state; and the primary controller may be configured to instruct the secondary controller to change the primary controller from the second state to the first state. The first state of the primary controller may be a low power mode.

  • Publication number: 20050285551
    Abstract: A method for controlling a vehicle power seat motor including the steps of generating at least one control signal using a controller, and adjusting the speed of the motor in response to the at least one control signal such that speed of the motor is maintained to a predetermined curve. Maintaining the speed of the motor to the predetermined curve reduces at least one of mechanical wear, erratic motion, and noise of a respective seat mechanism.

  • Patent number: 6914522
    Abstract: A low power consumption RF receiver system that is adapted for receiving and shaping transmitted digital data signals into a digital data stream for processing by a microprocessor is provided. The receiver system comprises an integrated circuit, which includes a data slicer adapted to accept the received digital data signals, shape the signals into a digital data stream, and pass the digital data stream to the microprocessor. The integrated circuit further includes a peak detector adapted to sense ambient circuit noise when digital data signals are not present, develop a voltage reference signal representative of the peak value of the ambient circuit noise, and pass the voltage reference signal to the data slicer.
