  • Integrated circuit device, electronic device and method for frequency detection
    Patent number: 9722648
    Abstract: An integrated circuit comprises a frequency detector. The frequency detector comprises a timer state machine unit operably couplable to a timer and arranged to receive an incoming carrier signal; determine whether the incoming carrier signal comprises a valid frequency; generate a valid carrier indication when the incoming carrier signal is determined as having a valid frequency; and adjust the timer between at least a first timing mode of operation and a second timing mode of operation of the frequency detector in response to the determination.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 1, 2017
    Assignee: NXP USA, Inc.
    Inventors: Philippe Freitas, Olivier Doare, Valerie Escarpit, Christophe Landez, Xavier Lhuillier
  • Pump system and motorized vehicle
    Patent number: 8688324
    Abstract: A pump system for inflating a tire of a motorized vehicle, comprises a pump unit. The pump unit has an outlet connectable to an inlet of the tire, for providing a fluid to the inside of the tire. A communication interface is communicatively connectable to a tire pressure monitoring system, TPMS, in the vehicle, for receiving from the TPMS data representing information for controlling the providing of fluid to the tire. A pump controller is connected to the pump unit and to the communication interface and can control the pump unit based on at least the information.

  • PUMP SYSTEM AND MOTORIZED VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20120232753
    Abstract: A pump system for inflating a tyre of a motorized vehicle, comprises a pump unit. The pump unit has an outlet connectable to an inlet of the tyre, for providing a fluid to the inside of the tyre. A communication interface is communicatively connectable to a tyre pressure monitoring system, TPMS, in the vehicle, for receiving from the TPMS data representing information for controlling the providing of fluid to the tyre. A pump controller is connected to the pump unit and to the communication interface and can control the pump unit based on at least the information.
