| 20100266290 | LASER COMMUNICATION POSITIONING SYSTEM - A system for receiving an optical communication signal includes a first array of light responsive devices defining a first target area and a second light responsive device defining a second target area. The second target area is smaller than the first target area. A detection device is coupled to the first array of light responsive devices and configured to identify at least one individual light responsive device in the first array of light responsive devices receiving the greatest light input relative to other light responsive devices in the first array of light responsive devices. A positioning device is configured to position the second light responsive device relative to the at least one individual light responsive device, such that the second light responsive device receives the optical communication signal. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20080234907 | Override of Automatic Braking in a Collision Mitigation and/or Avoidance System - A method for returning driver control in a vehicle during automatic braking includes the steps of determining a minimum value of accelerator pedal position during the automatic braking, determining a current value of accelerator pedal position, and disengaging the automatic braking, if the current value is greater than the minimum value by at least a predetermined value. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090002222 | Method of estimating target elevation utilizing radar data fusion - A collision avoidance system for reducing false alerts by estimating the elevation of a target, includes short and long range single-dimensional scanning radar sensors having differing ranges and beam angles of inclination, and a digital fusion processor, and preferably includes a locator device, an inclinometer, and a memory storage device cooperatively configured to further perform trend analysis, and target tracking. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090021429 | LOW COST SHORT RANGE RADAR - A low cost radar system that employs monopulse beamforming to detect objects in the road-way both in elevation and azimuth. In one non-limiting embodiment, a beamforming receiver architecture includes a first beamforming device and a plurality of antennas coupled to the first beamforming device, and a second beamforming device and a plurality of antennas coupled to the second beamforming device. The first and second beamforming devices are oriented 90° relative to each other so that the receive beams provided by the first beamforming device detect objects in azimuth and the receive beams provided by the second beamforming device detect objects in elevation. A first switch is provided to selectively couple the sum pattern signal from the first and second beamforming devices to one output line, and a second switch is provided to selectively couple the difference pattern signals from the first and second beamforming devices to another output line. | 01-22-2009 |

| 20110190972 | GRID UNLOCK - A method to operate a vehicle during a grid-lock traffic condition includes monitoring a vehicle speed, tracking a target vehicle in proximity of the vehicle including monitoring a range to the target vehicle, monitoring activation of a grid unlock mode when the vehicle speed is less than a threshold grid-lock speed, monitoring a location of the vehicle based upon data from a GPS device, monitoring a distance envelope with respect to the vehicle, and controlling operation of the vehicle while the vehicle speed remains less than the threshold grid-lock speed based upon the vehicle speed, the range to the target vehicle, the location of the vehicle, and the distance envelope. Controlling operation of the vehicle includes controlling acceleration of the vehicle, controlling braking of the vehicle, and controlling steering of the vehicle. | 08-04-2011 |
