  • Vehicle safety sensor system
    Publication number: 20040046647
    Abstract: A vehicle safety sensor allows a vehicle operator such as a truck driver to detect the presence of adjacent objects in order to avoid collision with same. In one embodiment, three detection ranges providing feedback with various lights and sounds can be used with separate sensors, with some sensors automatically made “live” upon reversing or turning of the vehicle, and some sensors being manually activated, such as when a overpass is encountered.

  • Method and apparatus for parallel processing of digital signals using multiple independent signal processors
    Patent number: 4591971
    Abstract: A digital computer has an addressable store 1, which may comprise segments 1a, 1b, etc. and a plurality of independent digital processing units 3a, 3b, etc. all communicating with the store 1 through a communication facility 2.Addresses in store 1 containing packets of digital data which require processing are held in a group of identifier stores 4a, 4b, etc. to which group the processing units all have access. Where processing results in the generation of fresh packets of data addresses for such data in store 1 are held in a second group of identifier stores 5a, 5b to which the processing units also have access. Controllers 6a, 6b, etc. and 7a, 7b, etc. ensure even transfer of identifier address among the stores of a group and act as interfaces between the identifier stores and the processing units.
