| 20100172769 | SUSPENSION SYSTEM FOR A LINEAR COMPRESSOR - The suspension system is applied in a compressor, presenting a shell in which interior is horizontally suspended a motor-compressor assembly having opposite ends that are spaced from the shell by an axial spacing. Mounting elements are each attached to an end of the motor-compressor assembly and suspension springs are mounted to the shell and to each respective mounting element. The suspension system comprises stop elements attached to the shell and having a free end portion disposed between a respective end of the motor-compressor assembly and the adjacent suspension spring. A first distance defined between the stop element and the adjacent end of the motor-compressor assembly is smaller than the axial spacing and smaller than a second distance defined between the stop element and an adjacent suspension spring. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20090195376 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A SAFETY RESTRAINT STATUS BASED ON DRIVER STATUS - A system and method for notifying primary and second drivers about a status of a safety restraint in a vehicle is provided. A primary and secondary keys are adapted to be associated to the primary and secondary drivers. A key ignition device is positioned on each of the primary key and secondary keys. The key ignition device is adapted to generate driver status signals indicative of whether the driver the primary driver or the secondary driver. A controller is adapted to determine whether the driver of the vehicle is the primary driver or the secondary driver based on the driver status signals. The controller is further adapted to generate restraint status signals indicative of the status of the safety restraint. The controller is further adapted to selectively control the operation of generating the restraint signals based on whether the driver of the vehicle is the primary or secondary driver. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090198410 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING EARLY LOW FUEL WARNING BASED ON DRIVER STATUS - A system and method is provided for controlling the operation of notifying drivers of the fluid level. Primary and secondary keys are adapted to be associated to primary and secondary drivers. A key ignition device is positioned on the primary and secondary keys and generate driver status signals. A fluid level sensing device is operable to generate a fluid level signal indicative of the fluid level. A controller is coupled to the fluid level sensing device and the key ignition device. The controller determines whether the driver of the vehicle is the primary or secondary driver in response to the driver status signals. The controller notifies the primary or secondary driver of the fluid level in response to the fluid level signal. The controller selectively controls the operation of notifying the primary or the secondary driver based on whether the driver is the primary or secondary driver. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090198413 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL BASED ON DRIVER STATUS - A system and method for controlling the operation of stabilizing the movement of a vehicle between primary and secondary drivers is provided. A primary key is adapted to be associated to the primary driver. A secondary key is adapted to be associated to the secondary driver. A key ignition device is positioned on the primary and secondary keys and is configured to generate driver status signals indicative of whether the driver is a primary or secondary driver. The controller is adapted to determine whether the driver of the vehicle is the primary driver or the secondary driver based on the driver status signals. The controller is further adapted to stabilize the movement of the vehicle. The controller is further adapted to selectively control the operation of stabilizing the movement of the vehicle in response to the driver status signals. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090198445 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OBJECT DETECTION BASED ON DRIVER STATUS - Primary and secondary keys are adapted to be associated to primary and secondary drivers. A key ignition device is positioned on each of the primary and secondary keys and is configured to generate driver status signals indicative of whether the driver the primary driver or the secondary driver. A controller is operably coupled to the key ignition device. The controller is adapted to determine whether the driver is the primary driver or the secondary driver. The controller is adapted to generate position notification signals indicative of the position of the object with respect to the vehicle. The controller is adapted to notify the primary and secondary drivers of the position of the object. The controller is adapted to selectively control the operation of generating the position notification signals based on whether the driver is the primary driver or the secondary driver. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20100277273 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSIGNING DRIVER STATUS TO A SPARE KEY AND FOR PROGRAMMING THE SPARE KEY TO A VEHICLE - In at least one embodiment, a method and device for assigning a driver status of one of a primary driver and a secondary driver to a spare key is provided. A controller is configured to receive a first key identification signal from a first key indicative of the driver status for the first key being that of one of the primary and the secondary driver. The controller is configured to determine whether the driver status indicated on the first key identification signal corresponds to the one of the primary driver and the secondary driver. The controller is configured to receive a spare key identification signal and assign the spare key identification signal to correspond to the driver status as indicated on the first key identification signal. | 11-04-2010 |
