61 Distance Detector US15202189 2016-07-05 US20160310868A1 2016-10-27 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.

A distance measuring system includes a device for detecting ringing signals (false echoes) generated by ultrasonic transducers used to generate probe signals and detect echoes of the probe signals to determine the distance of an external object from the measurement system. The absence or duration of ringing signals are determined, and the display of the distance measuring system is operated accordingly. False indications of distance measurements are limited by storing a number of distance measurements in a memory, and selecting the measurement most likely to indicate the presence of an object from which the distance to the measuring system is determined.

A small motor powered boat guidance system is disclosed and includes an arrangement for sensing the vertical distance between the boat and the bottom of a body of water in which the boat is floating and for providing a visual indication of the sensed vertical distance. A first series of visible pulses and a second series of visible pulses of the same frequency as the first series of pulses are generated with the pulses of the first and second series being interleaved and with the phase difference therebetween being indicative of the vertical distance. The visual indicator also generates, simultaneous with the visual indications, electromagnetic radiation in a region of the electromagnetic spectrum remote from the visible portion of the spectrum. An antenna and associated circuitry is responsive to the electromagnetic radiation remote from the visible portion of the spectrum for determining the phase difference between the first and second series of pulses, and therefor also an indication of the distance between the boat and the bottom of the body of water. This distance indication is compared to an operator entered selected distance and an output indication is provided when the distance indication and the selected distance differ by more than a predetermined value. Upon an indication that the distance indication and the selected distance differ by more than a predetermined value, the direction of motor thrust relative to the boat is modified appropriately.
