  • Patent number: 7106171
    Abstract: A wireless remote-control transmitter includes means for entering an identification code so that only an authorized operator can use the device. Use as a keyless entry system provides the owner of a wireless receiver with an additional keypad-operated transmitter which may be vehicle mounted to perform some or all of the same functions as those available through an existing remote. In this embodiment, the keypad may be mounted behind a small section of the vehicle's window glass, with command inputs being sensed using electrical, magnetic, or optical detection techniques. To save on battery power, the system automatically powers down during periods of non-use, with some form of wake-up signal being used to enter operational modes requiring increased power consumption.

  • Patent number: 6404607
    Abstract: A power distribution module is especially suited to vehicular applications. An input/output module port is adapted for connection to an external multiplexed communication path, with transceiver circuitry being operative to send and receive messages over the communication path in digital form. The module is flexible enough to support a standard or user-defined commination protocol. An input is adapted for connection to a source of power. A plurality of controllable power switches are used to selectively route power from the source to a plurality of power output ports each port being associated with one of the switches. Control circuitry, operatively connected to the transceiver circuitry and to each power switch, facilitates the sending and receiving of messages over the communication path and provides control signals to the switches in accordance with a message received.

  • Patent number: 5142183
    Abstract: A piezoelectric switch assembly and method of manufacture. A piezoelectric module is provided which is comprised of a carrier disk and a wafer of piezoelectric material disposed thereon, with electrical leads connected thereto. The piezoelectric module is disposed inside a hollow recess formed in a switch plug, with the periphery of the carrier disk supported on a rim thereof. A disk of compressible material is disposed between the body of the plug and the piezoelectric module. The switch plug is inserted into a hollow chamber formed in a switch insert, said switch insert having a pressure receiving front wall. A front member is provided which is formed with an aperture for receiving the switch insert. Pressure on the pressure receiving front wall of the socket causes deformation of the piezoelectric wafer to generate an electrical signal which is received by circuitry attached to the electrical leads to effect one or more preselected switch functions.

  • Patent number: 4906808
    Abstract: A tease-free switch includes a plurality of electrical terminals of planar configuration disposed in spaced apart relationship upon an electrically insulating base as well as a generally planar contact plate including at least two electrical contact regions thereupon. The plate is engaged by a push-button actuated stepping mechanism so as to be alternately rotated between a position where contact between particular of the terminals is alternately established and terminated. The switch is configured so that the contact plate is constantly biased into contact with the terminals and/or the insulating surface upon which they are disposed. In this manner partial activation of the switch will not alter the condition of the electrical contacts.

  • Patent number: 4809199
    Abstract: A keyless marine access and engine control system. The system is caused to change from a dormant state to an enabled state when a sequence of actuation signals entered through a keypad matches data representing either one of two access sequences stored in the system's memory. When the system is in its enabled state, the system responds only to signals representing a keypad actuation exceeding a first predetermined time interval. These signals are used to crank, choke, and stop a marine vehicle engine. The secondary access sequence can be changed by a person who knows either the primary access sequence or the secondary access sequence, while the primary access sequence can be changed only by a person having knowledge of the present primary access sequence. In order to reprogram either access sequence, a programming button must be actuated for a predetermined time interval exceeding the first time interval. The system can be used with either a single or dual engine installation.
