Passive Entry System for Automotive Vehicle Doors
ActiveUS20090160211A1Durable in constructionInexpensive to manufactureDigital data processing detailsBuilding locksCar doorMembrane switch
A passive entry system for an vehicle door requires no active operator input to gain entrance to the vehicle. A door module recognizes the signal transmitted by an authorized key fob to identify the operator of the vehicle. The authentication of the operator coupled with the operator touching a sensor on the door to be opened actuates a release actuator that unlatches the selected door. The spring-load provided by the door seal will pop the door open from the closed position. A key cylinder, which can be located substantially anywhere on the door, is coupled mechanically to the release latch for use if the battery is weak and cannot activate the release actuator. An LED signals the state of the opening sequence for the door. The fixed door handle can incorporate a membrane switch or a capacitive sensor to indicate the selection of the door by the operator when touched.

Accessible ceiling grid system
A grid system for torsion spring mounting of aluminum-framed panels is provided which includes a plurality of main grid beams and spacer bars. The main grid beams support a side load mounting clip formed with a slot in the side of the side load mounting clip to engage a torsion spring held by a spring retainer clip such that the panel is supported by the torsion spring. Disengagement of the torsion springs lowers the panels and permits access to the ceiling grid system above the panel members. In a preferred embodiment, the panel has a multifaceted profile including an edge surface that abuts a corresponding edge surface on an adjacent panel. The peripheral edges of the adjacent panel members diverge above the abutting edge surfaces to accommodate either the alignment fin or the tab of the tile stop and diverge below the abutting edge surfaces to form a reveal.

Dual cone loudspeaker
InactiveUS6343128B1Reliable constructionSmooth connectionSound producing devicesDeaf-aid setsCouplingEngineering
A dual-cone loudspeaker includes a primary speaker cone and an axially displaced secondary speaker cone mounted to the back of a magnet structure. A rigid link causes both cones to move in unison. The rigid link includes an open support structure with equiangularly extending spokes that form a central hub. A ring circumscribes the spokes and ataches to the first speaker cone. A rigid element connects to the spokes and the secondary speaker cone so the primary and secondary speaker cones move in unison and improve the bass response for the loudspeaker. The rigid coupling device is also adapted to support a high frequency radiator to extend the overall loudspeaker frequency response into higher frequencies.
