Patent number: 9208629Abstract: A garage door can be detected as being open by sensing various physical conditions the existence of which indicate the garage door as being open. When a door is determined to be open, a notification message is wirelessly transmitted to a predetermined entity or person notifying them that the door is open. Corrective action can then be taken to close the door to keep the vehicle and contents of the garage secure.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2014Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: Continental Automotive Systems, Inc.Inventors: Peter Saladin, Michael Daleki, Thomas Brey

Patent number: 8436775Abstract: A circuit-board mountable antenna (50, 80, 90) has a substrate (12,14) compliant with the IPC/JEDEC J-STD_0202C and IEC-norm standard 60068, which specifies the spacing and pin arrangements for a printed circuit board (PCB) mountable connector commonly known in the automotive electronic art as a “FAKRA” or “Fakra.” A radio frequency (RF) energy transducer or antenna (54) is applied to or formed over the substrate (12, 14) which is provided with at least one mounting pin (16) and a signal lead (18), the spacing and locations of which are compliant with the Fakra ISO-compliant hole pattern. The antennae (50, 80, 90) thus provide a circuit board (70) mountable antenna, compliant with the Fakra standard. The Fakra-compliant antenna or a Fakra-compliant connector can be attached to the circuit board (70) for a communications device (100) at the time of assembly to enable the communications device to use either a concealed or concealable antenna or an external antenna.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2009Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Continental Automotive Systems, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Brey, David Teteak, Bhavna Mantha, Peter Saladin

Patent number: 6324040Abstract: A sensor circuit (10) device for detecting an open circuit to an electronic component (20) is disclosed. The sensor circuit (10) includes a detector circuit (12) operatively coupled to the electronic component (20), with the electronic component (20) drawing a known current and with the detector circuit (12) including an energy storage component (24). A charging circuit (14) is arranged to charge the energy storage component (24), and a processing system (16) is operatively coupled to the detector circuit (12). The processing system (16) is arranged to monitor the voltage across the energy storage component, and the processing system determines the fault status indicative of an actual current drawn by the electronic component.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1999Date of Patent: November 27, 2001Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Peter Saladin, Michael Moroz
