System And Method For Controlling Vehicle Equipment Responsive To A Multi-Stage Village Detection

View page
US Patent:
20130320193, Dec 5, 2013
Filed:
Jun 1, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/486636
Inventors:
Peter Liken - West Olive MI, US
David M. Falb - Grand Rapids MI, US
Jeremy A. Schut - Grand Rapids MI, US
Phillip R. Pierce - Grand Rapids MI, US
International Classification:
H01L 27/146
US Classification:
2502081
Abstract:
A system for controlling equipment of a vehicle is provided. The system is configured to image a scene external and forward of the controlled vehicle and to generate image data corresponding to acquired images, including a controller for receiving and analyzing the image data and for generating a control signal in response to analysis of the image data and in response to a selected mode of operation. The controller analyzes the data in order to detect at least one characteristic in the image data and selects a mode of operation from at least one of the following modes of operation: The controller selects a dark village mode if at least one characteristic reaches a first threshold, a bright village mode if at least one characteristic reaches a second threshold, and a non-village mode if the controller is not operating in either the dark village mode or the bright village mode.

Unitized Test System With Bi-Directional Transport Feature

View page
US Patent:
51912821, Mar 2, 1993
Filed:
Oct 23, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/780623
Inventors:
Peter A. Liken - West Olive MI
Robert J. Holmes - Grand Rapids MI
George J. Bouwman - Saugatuck MI
Assignee:
Venturedyne, Ltd. - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:
G01R 3102
H01R 13631
US Classification:
324158F
Abstract:
An improved system for testing electrical circuit boards in an environmental test chamber includes a carrier moveable into and out of the chamber. The carrier supports a relatively large number of printed circuit boards to be tested by exposure to extremes of temperature, for example. Each board is electrically linked to a carrier-mounted multiple-conductor "gang" connector. The chamber has a multiple-conductor gang receptacle into which the connector is plugged as the carrier moves fully into the chamber. Such arrangement provides a way to electrically monitor board testing by instruments outside the chamber. An automated insertion/extraction assembly powers the carrier between an interconnect position and a disconnect position. The circuit boards are handled as a group of "unit" and the assembly provides both automatic connection and disconnection upon initiation by the chamber operator. Circuit board testing may thereby be accomplished accurately and more expeditiously than with earlier systems.

Through-Port Load Carrier And Related Test Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
55281613, Jun 18, 1996
Filed:
Sep 15, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/306709
Inventors:
Peter A. Liken - West Olive MI
Steven B. Ensing - Wyoming MI
Assignee:
Venturedyne Limited - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:
G01R 3102
US Classification:
324760
Abstract:
Disclosed is a load carrier for use with a test chamber. Such carrier includes (a) an insertion portion having a length about equal to the thickness of a chamber wall, (b) a carrier portion extending away from the chamber and (c) a flange interposed between the portions for sealing contact with the wall. The insertion portion extends through an opening in a chamber wall to connect to a rack holding printed circuit boards. The carrier portion holds a test device connected to the circuit boards through the load carrier. The load carrier is removable and can operate in "standalone" fashion or be tested at a location remote from the chamber when another load carrier is substituted in the chamber. Chamber backplane wiring is eliminated or substantially eliminated.

Method For Analyzing A Circuit Board Waveform For Faults

View page
US Patent:
54850789, Jan 16, 1996
Filed:
Mar 23, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/216409
Inventors:
Peter A. Liken - West Olive MI
Mark C. Jacobs - Holland MI
Monte E. Van Nortwick - Hudsonville MI
Assignee:
Venturedyne, Ltd. - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:
G01R 3100
US Classification:
324 7612
Abstract:
A new method for analyzing an electrical waveform of the type portrayed on a graph includes the steps of selecting a waveform to be analyzed, establishing the boundary of a window-like area and generating a signal if the waveform is in a predetermined position with respect to the area. For example, a signal such as a failure signal is generated if the waveform is to be out of the area but, in fact, is in the area. The method also includes features for determining certain parameters, e. g. , rise time, period and the like, for the waveform. The steps include selecting first and second points on the waveform and determining the time lapsed between points. Details regarding the structure of a new waveform analyzer are also disclosed.

Carrier For Testing Circuit Boards

View page
US Patent:
52686370, Dec 7, 1993
Filed:
Jan 14, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/004668
Inventors:
Peter A. Liken - West Olive MI
Robert J. Holmes - Grand Rapids MI
Assignee:
Venturedyne, Ltd. - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:
G01R 3102
H05K 714
US Classification:
324158F
Abstract:
The invention is an improvement in a carrier of the type used for testing circuit boards in an environmental test chamber. The improvement includes a plurality of frame-supported, spaced-apart shelves. Pairs of shelves are used to hold circuit boards being tested. The position of at least one shelf in such a pair is adjustable to select the proper dimension to support circuit boards of any of several particular sizes. In a highly preferred arrangement, shelves are arranged in two groups. At least one of the two or more shelves in each group is adjustable so that the carrier simultaneously accommodates circuit boards of differing sizes for test. Arrangements are shown whereby circuit boards of varying heights and/or lengths can be mounted in the carrier for simultaneous testing.
