  • Patent number: 11400890
    Abstract: A system, the system including one or more sensors arranged to detect an area in a proximity of a vehicle and a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors. The controller is configured to determine that an ignition switch of the vehicle is turned off, determine that a user within the proximity of the vehicle based on data from the one or more sensors, determine that an object is approaching the vehicle based on the data, and alert the user of the object.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 8, 2020
    Date of Patent: August 2, 2022
    Assignee: Toyota Motor North America, Inc.

  • Publication number: 20190351501
    Abstract: Welding power supplies and user interfaces for welding power supplies are disclosed. An example interface includes control circuitry configured to: in response to inputs from first, second, third, and fourth buttons, select a welding process, electrode wire type, electrode wire size, and shielding gas composition from respective sequences; select a welding program based on the selections; in response to input from the first input device, select a wire feed speed; based on the selected wire feed speed, automatically select a voltage based on a relationship between the wire feed speed and the voltage, the relationship based on at least one of the selected welding process, the electrode wire type, the electrode wire size, or the shielding gas composition; and control at least one of an output of power conversion circuitry based on the selected voltage, or a feed speed of a wire feeder based on the selected wire feed speed.
