Abstract: A chemical vapor sensor (100) is provided that measures a chemical species of interest with high sensitivity and chemical specificity. In an aspect, an ethanol vapor sensor is provided, sized for being inconspicuous and on-board a vehicle, having a passive measurement mode and an active breathalyzer mode, for detecting a motor vehicle driver that exceeds a legal limit of blood alcohol concentration (BAC), for use with vehicle safety systems. For the passive mode, a vapor concentrator is utilized to amplify a sampled vapor concentration to a detectible level for use with an infrared (IR) detector (126). In an aspect, ethanol vapor in a vehicle cabin is passively measured and if a predetermined ethanol level is measured then a countermeasure is invoked to improve safety. In an aspect, an active breathalyzer is used as a countermeasure. The active breathalyzer can be imposed for a number of vehicle trips or for a predetermined time period.

Abstract: An integrated sensor (10) comprising a thermopile transducer (12) and signal processing circuitry (4) that are combined on a single semiconductor substrate (20), such that the transducer output signal is sampled in close vicinity by the processing circuitry (14). The sensor (10) comprises a frame (18) formed of a semiconductor material that is not heavily doped, and with which a diaphragm (16) is supported. The diaphragm (16) has a first surface for receiving thermal (e.g., infrared) radiation, and comprises multiple layers that include a sensing layer containing at least a pair of interlaced thermopiles (22). Each thermopile (22) comprises a sequence of thermocouples (24), each thermocouple (24) comprising dissimilar electrically-resistive materials that define hot junctions (26) located on the diaphragm (16) and cold junctions (28) located on the frame (18). The signal processing circuitry (14) is located on the frame (18) and electrically interconnected with the thermopiles (22). The thermopiles (22) are interlaced so that the output of one of the thermopiles (22) increases with increasing temperature difference between the hot and cold junctions (26,28) thereof, while the output of the second thermopile (22) decreases with increasing temperature difference between its hot and cold junctions (26,28).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a volatility of a fuel sample. A fuel sample is collected in a container (22) and heated for a time period using a heater device (24). Periodically during the heating, the capacitance of the fuel sample and the temperature of the heater device (24) are determined. After a time period passes, the volatility of the fuel sample is determined using the capacitance decrease and the temperature increase. Specifically, a voltage across the heater device (24) is used, along with the current through the heater device (24) to determine the resistance of the heater device (24), which gives the temperature of the heater device (24) and the sample. The capacitance and temperature are compared to values derived from experimentation for fuels of varying DI. The first measurement of capacitance with a known sample volume can be used to determine the MTBE or ethanol content in gasoline fuels.

Abstract: A windshield display system for installation into a vehicle that includes a windshield (16), a transparent display (18) overlaying the windshield (16), and an array (24) of electrowetting lenses (26A, 26B) overlaying the transparent display (18). Each lens of the array (24) is operable to a flat-state where light (28B) passes through the lens (26B) substantially undistorted, and a shaped-state where emitted light (28A) from an underlying portion (30) of the transparent display (18) is directed in order to increase an apparent brightness of the emitted light (28A). The array (24) selectively magnifies pixels or portions of the transparent display (18), while maintaining vision clarity for the operator in regions of the windshield (16) where images are not being displayed. The array (24) may also outline or highlight images being displayed with a region of distortion of surrounding the image to distort the view of the scene outside the vehicle to help the operator discern the image when the outside lighting conditions are less than ideal.
