Patent number: 11543514Abstract: A method for detecting an activity of an object disposed within a medium at a depth ranging from about 0 to about 100 cm using a radar system, the method including establishing a baseline radar power level of the object in the medium; and detecting one or more radar data anomalies in radar data received of the medium with respect to the baseline radar power level, wherein a presence of the one or more anomalies indicates a presence of the activity of the object.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Elemenf Hope, Inc.Inventors: Roger P. Vonderahe, Patricia L. Vonderahe, Michael W. Schab, Ryan M. Bowen

Publication number: 20140257630Abstract: A vehicle door interlock system includes a logic processor operatively connected to a door of a vehicle positioned with respect to a pedestrian egress path. A first input to the logic processor comprises a velocity detection signal that determines a velocity of the vehicle. A second input comprises an object detection signal that determines movement of an object toward the vehicle, travelling along a path that would pass in front of the door. A third input comprises an open door signal. The logic processor provides a signal to an interlock device to prevent the door from being opened when the logic processor determines any one of: the vehicle moving based on the velocity detection signal, the object being at a distance and moving in a direction to intersect the pedestrian egress path based on the object detection signal, and lack of open door signal from the operator of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2013Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: XEROX CorporationInventors: Erwin Ruiz, Michael W. Schab, Eliud Robles Flores, Roberto Ramos, III

Patent number: 7257359Abstract: An apparatus for assisting in the transfer of an image from an image bearing member onto a copy substrate, comprises an image bearing member carrying an image to be transferred, a feed mechanism for feeding a copy substrate to the image bearing member, and a transfer assist mechanism movable to an activated position bearing on the substrate to maintain the substrate in contact with the image bearing member to assist in transferring the image thereto, and to a de-activated position. A sensor generates a signal in response to passage of the leading edge and the trailing edge of the substrate to ascertain an actual length of the substrate as it moves to the image bearing member. A controller is operable to direct the transfer assist mechanism to move to the activated position and then to direct the transfer assist mechanism to move to the de-activated position after a de-activation dwell time.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2005Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Michael N. Soures, David Kenneth Ahl, Robert Arnold Gross, Michael W. Schab
