Publication number: 20240162990Abstract: FSO systems rely on line-of-sight, and thus can be easily impaired due to disruptions such as atmospheric turbulence. There is a need for a more robust communication system allowing longer distances to be bridged and/or downtime to be reduced. An optical transmitter is provided generating at least one optical alignment beam. The transmitter comprises at least one alignment modulator, to modulate the alignment beam with transmitter directional data. A suitable receiver may demodulate this information and use the directional data from the transmitter to simplify the attainment and/or maintenance of a sufficient degree of alignment. Additionally or alternatively, the at least one alignment beam may be used to detect, characterize and/or monitor one or more environmental parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 25, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Daniele RAITERI, John J.E.

Patent number: 11981288Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for eliminating false activation of components of a vehicle when the vehicle is parked in a garage. Example components can be a door lock, a door latch, a door activation servomotor, or a light. In an example method, a vehicle entry authorization system of a vehicle operates a sensor system to obtain dimensional information of an interior portion of the garage. The vehicle entry authorization system may then detect a presence of a mobile device (such as a smartphone, smart device, or a vehicle key fob) and determines the location of the mobile device based on the dimensional information. If the mobile device is located outside the garage, the vehicle entry authorization system refrains from activating a component of the vehicle. However, if the mobile device is located inside the garage, the vehicle entry authorization system activates the component.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Stuart Salter, Kristopher Brown, John Van Wiemeersch, Hussein Berry
