41 Distance detector US14211771 2014-03-14 US09381445B2 2016-07-05 Robbie Ventura; Michael D. Paley; Robby Ketchell
A distance detecting device is mounted on a user's vehicle to detect a distance between the user's vehicle and a leading vehicle moving in front of the user's vehicle. The distance detecting device communicates with a processing device, which applies race based distance rules to determine whether the user's vehicle is close to or incurring a penalty based at least on the distance between the user's vehicle and the leading vehicle. An indication can be given to the user regarding an impending penalty and/or when a penalty is incurred. Similarly, the device can be read to apply a penalty. Various modifications can be made to allow for recording, display, and transmission of racing and penalty statistics, enabling and disabling recordation of penalty occurrences, tailoring the penalty determinations to a given race, and mounting the distance detecting device to a vehicle.

The ultrasonic signal provided by the beacon unit may be pulse modulated to include digitally encoded data that may be used to identify particular individuals, objects, materials, dangers, or exits. In addition, the tracker unit may be provided with a transmitter and the beacon unit provided with a receiver such that audio communication may be established therebetween.
52 Apparatus and method for monitoring the condition of septic tanks US82825 1998-05-21 US6012020A 2000-01-04 Steven E Gardell; David L Gardell; Eric W Gardell
An electronic sensor for detecting when a septic tank reaches it's design capacity. The sensor uses a sonar transponder to measure the thickness of the three layers of material present in a properly operating septic tank. The sonar transponder is encapsulated in a environmentally sealed sensor assembly that floats in a self-orienting fashion at the top of the material contained in the septic tank. The sensor relays signals through a cable harness to a signal interpretation module located in a convenient indoor location. The signal interpretation module contains a digital signal processing (DSP) sub-system and an alarm sub-system. The DSP sub-system interprets the electronic signals from the sonar sensor resulting in a measurement of the relative volume of the material in septic tank as well as measures of the elevation of the bottom of the top (scum) layer and the top of the bottom (sludge) layer. Any of these measures may indicate that the tank has reached it's design capacity and should therefor be pumped. The alarm sub-system provides visual and audio alarms in a escalating fashion providing early warning of the impending need to service the tank.

The method further comprises, displaying a reference data-block adjacent to any one of the sets of data-blocks for comparing with any one of the data-blocks in the series.
57 Liquid crystal display of time dependent signals US89105 1979-10-29 US4352102A 1982-09-28 Gunter Kramer
A liquid crystal display has a first system of parallel elongated electrodes and a second system of parallel elongated electrodes. The first and second systems are perpendicular to each other. The electrodes in the second system are biased in such a fashion that each electrode in the second system has a greater bias voltage than has the next electrode in the second system. An analog multiplexer connects an analog input signal to all of the electrodes in the first system in a sequential fashion of repeated sweeps. The signal is displayed on the liquid crystal display in a histogram-like format of signal strength versus time.

A device for sensing a passing athlete. The device has one or more signal sources for irradiating distinct segments of space about the device. One or more sensors are associated with the segments of space, and are arranged to sense a signal reflected off an athlete. The sensor(s) output a sensor signal indicating whether an athlete is present in each segment based on whether a reflected signal is detected from that segment. The segments are angularly positioned about the device so that the sensor(s) signals may be assessed to determine angular progression of the athlete relative to the device.
