  • Patent number: 11787163
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to dielectric elastomeric composites that include a retainable processing membrane, an elastomer material, and an electrically conductive material. The elastomer layer may be partially imbibed into the retainable processing membrane. The retainable processing membrane may be porous. The retainable processing membrane is compacted in the transverse direction, machine direction, or in both directions prior to the application of an elastomer material and an electrically conductive material. The compaction of the retainable processing membrane may form structured folds or folded fibrils in the membrane, giving the retainable processing membrane a low modulus and flexibility. In some embodiments, the dielectric composites are positioned in a stacked configuration. Alternatively, the dielectric elastomeric composites may have a wound configuration. The dielectric composites have a total thickness less than about 170 ?m.

  • Patent number: 9672671
    Abstract: A keyfob is disclosed for use in detecting an attack on a vehicle. The keyfob includes a microcontroller, a wake receiver and an accelerometer. The wake receiver is configured to measure received signal strength and save the measured value in received signal strength indicator (RSSI). The accelerometer is used to generate acceleration data. The microcontroller detects an attack based on the RSSI and the acceleration data.

  • Publication number: 20140368313
    Abstract: A keyfob is disclosed for use with a vehicle. The keyfob includes a microcontroller, a wake receiver, an antenna coupled to the wake receiver, and an accelerometer. The accelerometer is used to detect motion of the keyfob. The microcontroller disables the wake receiver based on signals from the accelerometer (e.g., when the keyfob is determined to be stationary and not close to the vehicle).
