  • Patent number: 7973700
    Abstract: A vehicle system includes a signal processing module and a first antenna that provides a first transmitted signal that has a first phase. A second antenna of the system provides a second transmitted signal that has a second phase that differs from the first phase. At least one receive antenna of the vehicle system receives first and second received signals that correspond to the first and second transmitted signals, respectively. The signal processing module processes the received first and second signals based on the first and second transmitted signals and selectively controls transmissions of the first and second transmitted signals.

  • Patent number: 7211020
    Abstract: A power transmitting device including a housing having an input shaft, at least one output shaft and a gear set positioned in the housing. The gear set transmits rotary power between the input shaft and the output shaft. An electrical actuator includes a linearly moveable member and is operable to drivingly engage the moveable member with the gear set. A sensor is positioned within the housing and operable to output a signal indicative of the linear position of the moveable member.
