20090005932 | Trailer articulation angle estimation - This invention takes the advantage of existing radar, vision and ultrasonic sensors available for side blind spot detection, rear view, rear virtual bumper, and rear parking assist. Using a sensor fusion technique to combine the useful information from these sensors, the trailer articulation angles as well as trailer track width and tongue length is accurately estimated. When an active steering system is present, vehicle and trailer can be controlled with increased stability by applying the trailer information. | 01-01-2009 |
20090157276 | AUTOMATIC TIME HEADWAY SETTING FOR ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM - An adaptive cruise control system automatically sets a desired headway value upon system initiation. If a preceding vehicle is not detected the desired headway is established at a predetermined value. If a preceding vehicle is detected the control compares the actual headway to a predetermined minimum value and predetermined maximum value to select a desired headway. Following the desired headway value being established, the value is stored in the control and the adaptive cruise control system begins customary operations. | 06-18-2009 |
20100019570 | Auxiliary electrical power system for vehicular fuel economy improvement - Method and apparatus for improving the fuel economy of a vehicle of the type having a vehicle electrical system that includes a generator senses a vehicle voltage of the vehicle electrical system during determined intervals, and supplies an offset current from an external source of electrical energy to the vehicle electrical system in response to the sensing of a vehicle voltage of the vehicle electrical system. In this manner, the electrical power output of the generator, and its effect on fuel consumption, are reduced in response to supplying of the offset current. A source of electrical energy external to the electrical system of the motor vehicle is controlled by an electronic control unit coupled to the source of electrical energy. A power converter receives on and off commands from the electronic control unit in response to vehicle voltage measurements by the electronic control unit. | 01-28-2010 |
20110125457 | TRAILER ARTICULATION ANGLE ESTIMATION - A method for operating a vehicle includes acquiring position information including an azimuth angle between a non-contacting sensor and a wheeled axle of an attached trailer, determining a trailer tongue length correlated to the position information, determining a track width of the attached trailer correlated to the position information, and calculating a trailer hitch articulation angle corresponding to the trailer tongue length and the track width of the attached trailer. | 05-26-2011 |

20150260624 | SNAP GRIP INDENTER MOUNT USED ON A HARDNESS TESTER - The present disclosure relates to a snap grip indenter mount, used on a hardness tester, particularly a microhardness tester, or similar apparatus. The snap grip indenter mount includes three major components—an indenter ball adapter, an upper housing assembly (or snap-grip male element) and a lower housing assembly (or snap-grip female element). The indenter ball adapter forms a ball-and-socket arrangement with the lower housing assembly. The lower housing assembly includes various set screws for fixing the orientation and symmetry of the indenter ball adapter with the lower housing assembly. | 09-17-2015 |

20100318215 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE TRANSPORTATION OF AN OBJECT TO A RECEIVING UNIT - A device and a method for controlling the transportation of an object, particularly a mail article to a receiving unit. The device includes an image recording device, a reader, a computer-available allocation table and a data-processing device with an output device and an input device. The image recording device generates a computer-available image. The reader decodes the receiver identification by using the image from the image recording device. The allocation table has in each case one record with an identification of the receiver for a set of possible receivers and a code of a receiving unit for an object. The data-processing device selects a record in the allocation table by using a decoding result from the reader and outputs the receiving unit code of this record on the output device in a form perceptible by a person. During this process, a computer-available selection list is generated, the selection list including each receiver identification of an identified record. | 12-16-2010 |

20150056451 | PROTON-BINDING POLYMERS FOR ORAL ADMINISTRATION - Pharmaceutical compositions for and methods of treating an animal, including a human, and methods of preparing such compositions. The pharmaceutical compositions contain crosslinked amine polymers and may be used, for example, to treat diseases or other metabolic conditions in which removal of protons and/or chloride ions from the gastrointestinal tract would provide physiological benefits such as normalizing serum bicarbonate concentrations and the blood pH in an animal, including a human. | 02-26-2015 |
