  • Patent number: 9194951
    Abstract: A vehicle obstacle detection device includes a sensor that transmits and receives ultrasonic waves, and a controller that instructs the sensor to transmit the ultrasonic waves. The controller compares amplitude of reflected waves received by the sensor with a threshold to determine presence or absence of an obstacle. The controller includes a voltage monitoring unit that detects a power supply voltage. The controller more reduces the threshold as the power supply voltage detected by the voltage monitoring unit is lower.

  • Patent number: 6522291
    Abstract: A compact GPS receiver includes a GPS antenna composed of a patch and a ground plane to receive high frequency satellite signals, an analog circuit which processes the high frequency satellite signals into a digital signal, a digital circuit which processes the digital signal to compute positional coordinates of the GPS antenna, and an interface connector which outputs the positional coordinates to an external device. A substrate is provided to support the GPS antenna, the analog circuit, the digital circuit, and the interface connector. An EMI (electromagnetic interference) shield is provided to shield at least the digital circuit to block a noise developing at the digital circuit from interfering with the GPS antenna. The GPS antenna is mounted on the EMI shield to share the ground plane with the EMI shield, while keeping the patch insulated electrically from the EMI shield.
