Abstract: A cabinet light apparatus has a light source that is controlled according to ambient light conditions in the room where the cabinet is mounted, such as a kitchen or bathroom. The cabinet has a door and a light source positioned on the door. A sensor detects light levels present on the door and activates the light source upon detection of a pre-determined low light level. Once activated, the apparatus is configured such that light is projected outwardly from the door. When the cabinet door is open, the light source also projects upwardly to illuminate portions of the interior of the cabinet. The cabinet light is deactivated after the ambient light level surpasses the pre-determined level.

Abstract: A coil at a first location in magnetic communication with a door of a vehicle generates a magnetic field responsive to a time varying signal applied thereto.

Abstract: A coil is operatively associated with a magnetic circuit of a vehicle body, and is adapted to cooperate with a time-varying magnetic flux therein responsive to a condition of the vehicle body sensed by the magnetic sensor. A capacitance in series with the coil provides for reducing the reactance of the resulting series LC circuit, and provides for increasing the sensitivity of changes in impedance and impedance phase angle of the impedance thereof responsive to changes in the associated resistance or inductance thereof. A second inductance in the series LC circuit provides for independently selecting the associated capacitance value, and an associated adjustable inductance and/or capacitance in the series LC circuit provides for adapting to variation in the inductance of the coil.

Abstract: An occupant detection system comprises a weight sensor and an electric field sensor, each operatively coupled to a seat. The electric field sensor generates an electric field from at least one electrode in the seat bottom of the seat, provides for generating a response to an influence of the occupant thereupon, and is adapted to provide for discriminating from the response a seated infant or child seating condition from another seating condition. If a measure of weight from the weight sensor is less than a threshold, or if a seated child seating condition is detected by the electric field sensor, then a signal processor provides for disabling an associated restraint actuator. The electric field sensor may comprise a plurality of electrodes over separate first and second regions of differing proximity to a seated infant or child, or at least one electrode in cooperation with a shield or void over at least one of the regions.

Abstract: A method and system for enabling secure IPsec tunnels within NAT without compromising security. A local network is configured with a gateway machine connected to the Internet and having an IPsec ID for interfacing with the Internet and a local IP/interface address for interfacing with the local network. Client machines are connected to the gateway machine and communicate with the Internet via the gateway and network address translation (NAT) techniques. Each client machine is configured with a local IP/interface address. The client machines are also provided with an alias of the IPsec ID for the gateway machine. When an IPsec request is received by the gateway machine to establish a tunnel (secure communication) with one of the clients, the gateway machine forwards the packet to the particular client using NAT. The client machine receives the request and since it has an alias of the gateway's IPsec ID, the client machine will confirm that it has one of the IPsec IDs in the packet.
