  • Patent number: 12141275
    Abstract: A system for configuring an intrusion detection system. The system includes an input device, a display device, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive input, via the input device. The input the electronic processor receives includes a previous configuration file, a databus configuration file, and user input. The electronic processor is also configured to run, with an intrusion detection system configuration tool, a simulation of communication on a vehicle communication system based on the input received and display, on the display device, results of running the simulation with the intrusion detection system configuration tool. The electronic processor is further configured to output a new configuration file and a file configured to be uploaded to a vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20210379990
    Abstract: A vehicle access system is disclosed having the plurality of system nodes for localizing a target portable device. In addition to Passive Entry/Passive Start (PEPS) features, the vehicle access system is configured to provide a variety of additional intelligent features depending on which zone of the vehicle the target portable device is located, depending on an identity of the person carrying the target portable device, and depending on other parameters or conditions.

  • Patent number: 10926738
    Abstract: A vehicle access system is disclosed having the plurality of system nodes for localizing a target portable device. The plurality of system nodes includes a master ECU that is asymmetrically installed at a predetermined location within the vehicle. The plurality of system nodes includes a plurality of slave system nodes. The plurality of slave system nodes includes an assigned system node that is asymmetrically installed at a predetermined location within the vehicle and a plurality of unassigned system nodes that are installed arbitrarily at any one of a plurality predetermined possible installation locations within the vehicle. The known installation locations of the assigned system node and the master ECU are used to self-learn the unknown installation location of each unassigned system node, for example after manufacturing assembly or repair of the vehicle access system.

  • Patent number: 8398413
    Abstract: An electrical contact device, configured for electrical signals to be transmitted therethrough and for movable contact with an electrically conductive track, includes a composite carbon fiber material including plural carbon fiber elements aligned in substantially the same direction. At least a portion of the plural carbon fiber elements is bonded together in a semi-conductive (low-resistance) synthetic resin compound.

  • Patent number: 8029296
    Abstract: A nonmetallic electrical contact or wiper composed of a composite carbon fiber material through which an electrical signal is terminated. The carbon fibers are arranged in and bonded into a multi-layer structure used to conduct a primary electrical signal. A nonwoven carbon fiber mat is used as one or more of the layers structure, which also includes one or layers of carbon fiber, aligned substantially in the same direction, and encapsulated within a matrix of electrometric material. This mat also improves an off-axis conductivity of the material and provides increased mechanical stability required for the fabrication of electrical contacts or wipers produced using this material.

  • Patent number: 6495780
    Abstract: A sealed switch has two switch contacts arranged inside a cavity formed in a molded switch body and the terminal connection for each switch contact are also arranged in respective cavities in the switch body. The switch contacts are sealed by a rigid sheet material that is adhered to the bottom of the switch body and a flexible sheet material that is clamped to the top of the switch body by a spring-like metal element that includes an actuator arm arranged adjacent the moveable one of the two switch contacts. Upon depression of the actuator arm, the flexible sheet material is deformed and a moving force is applied to the moveable switch contact to make a switch connection. The cavities housing the terminal connections are covered by a pierceable insulating material, so that connection pins on a circuit board pass through the insulating material and engage with the terminal connections during mounting of the sealed switch.

  • Patent number: 6444102
    Abstract: A nonmetallic electrical contact or wiper composed of material such as carbon fiber, in which an electrical signal is transmitted along a length of the carbon fibers. The carbon fibers can be fused or conductively bonded together. The carbon fibers can be affixed to a carrier using various bonding and fastening techniques. The carrier can be electrically conductive or not depending on the application and can be affixed to the carbon fibers by bonding, fusing, or mechanical fastening. Alternatively, the electrical contact can be formed entirely from the carbon fiber material, with any carrier being also formed of carbon fiber material.
