Wireless remote control transmitter and receiver for electrical appliances

To reduce the number of remote control transmitters required to control multiple domestic electrical appliances, the transmitter and the receiver establish a temporary communication link by going through a certain identification procedure. As long as the communication link still exists, subsequent signal sent by the transmitter will be interpreted by this receiver alone. Therefore, one transmitter is able to communicate with many receivers, thus in turn to operate many appliances. In the identification procedure, identity codes are sent by the transmitter 1. The receiver turns on a visual device 7 as soon as its identity code is received. This visual signal is relayed to the transmitter through mechanical action actuated by the human. The transmitter will stop sending identity codes and ends the identification procedure. ...

Wheel position detecting device and tire air pressure detecting apparatus having the same

A wheel position detecting device can suppress an erroneous detection of a wheel position even if a moving direction of a vehicle cannot be determined by wheel speed sensors whether in a forward direction or in a rearward direction. When an edge number (or a tooth number) is incremented based on detection signals of the wheel speed sensors of one, two or three wheels while the vehicle is at a halt, the edge number (or the tooth number) is not used as learning data. Thus, it is less likely that the wheel position is erroneously detected based on erroneous learning data. Therefore, even if the moving direction of the vehicle cannot be determined whether in the forward direction or the rearward direction by the wheel speed sensors, the wheel position detecting device can suppress the erroneous wheel position detection.
