Patent number: 7988308Abstract: A control system for one or more electrochromic elements used in an outside electrochromic (OEC) mirror used in automobiles or other vehicular applications, to control the glare of both IEC elements used as a rearview mirror (20) as well as the OEC elements (24, 26) used as sideview mirrors (24, 26). An ambient light sensor (129) and glare sensor (133) operate to determine a glare level used to control both IEC and OEC electrochromic elements. The drive circuits for the OEC's elements may be controlled so as to account for various factors such as tinted glass characteristics in the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2007Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Gentex CorporationInventors: Robert R. Turnbull, Michael T. Dillane, Robert C. Knapp, Darin D. Tuttle

Patent number: 6776143Abstract: A fuel injector pump in a direct-injection fuel delivery system for an internal combustion engine including a solenoid valve for controlling transfer of fluid from a high pressure chamber to a fuel injector nozzle. A supply passage and a return passage provide a fuel flow circuit for the fuel delivery system, the high pressure chamber being defined in part by a camshaft-driven plunger. An independent fuel leak flow path is provided to accommodate fuel leakage past a plunger of the pump, the fuel leak flow path extending to a zero pressure fuel tank.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2003Date of Patent: August 17, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Scott A. Goodenough, Tim D. Haas, Thomas K. Rapp, Aaron M. Jacobs, Michael T. Dillane, Gregg R. Spoolstra, Daren N. Bolbolan
