  • Patent number: 9671817
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to an accumulator-based phase memory. An aspect includes a phase correction calculator configured to, based on receipt of a new frequency tuning word on a frequency tuning word input, determine a phase difference between the new frequency tuning word and a current frequency tuning word, and determine a product of the phase difference and a value of a counter. Another aspect includes wherein the accumulator-based phase memory determines a phase offset value based on the product of the phase difference and the value of the counter. Another aspect includes the accumulator-based phase memory further comprising a waveform generator configured to generate a waveform based on the new frequency tuning word and the phase offset value.

  • Publication number: 20060231319
    Abstract: A non-contact seat position system is provided. The system includes a lower seat track, an upper seat track, a target and a sensor. The upper seat track is positionably connected to the lower seat track, whereby the upper seat track may be positioned into a desirable location. The target is connected either to the lower seat track or the upper seat track, and the sensor is connected to the other of the lower seat track and the upper seat track. The sensor has a line of sight with the target, wherein the sensor when powered, outputs a sensor signal determined from a reflected signal coming from the target. In a first embodiment of the system, the sensor is an infrared sensor. In a second embodiment of the system the sensor is an optical sensor. A method of non-contact seat position system determination is also provided.
