Appeal 2007-2032 Application 10/275,102 1 computer or as single sensors with no built-in intelligence.” (Gunderson, 2 col. 2, ll. 6-9). 3 5. Signal interface 14 receives input signals and provides 4 a means to output signals to one or more information devices 5 such as a display module, a centralized computer system, a 6 collision avoidance system, sensors, a data recorder such as a 7 black box data recorder, a satellite tracking system and/or a 8 warning system and the like. 9 10 (Gunderson, col. 5, ll. 1-6). 11 12 6. “It is understood that the signal interface provides a means to 13 output signals to any number of devices and is not limited by the information 14 devices listed above. In one embodiment, the information devices are 15 wirelessly coupled to a stand alone sensor module 100.” (Gunderson, col. 5, 16 ll. 6-10). 17 7. “The collision avoidance system includes two stand alone 18 sensor modules 800 and two display modules 32 and provides rear object 19 detection.” (Gunderson, col. 10, ll. 16-18). 20 8. In one embodiment, stand alone sensor module 1800 directs 21 vehicle 1879 to stop or slow down to a predetermined speed. In 22 another embodiment, stand alone sensor module 1800 transmits 23 a signal to stand alone sensor module 1879 which in turn 24 activates one or more warning lights or signs to alert vehicle 25 1889 of the hazard condition. In a further embodiment, stand 26 alone sensor module 1800 activates one or more warning lights 27 or signs to alert vehicle 1879 of the hazard condition and 28 transmits a signal to stand alone sensor module 1833 which in 29 turn actives one or more warning lights or signs to alert vehicle 30 1889 of the hazard condition. 31 32 (Gunderson, col. 13, ll. 58-col. 14, l. 2). 5Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Next
