    • An automatic rearview mirror system having a reflective element that is actuatable between at least two different reflective conditions by a control that discriminates between glare-causing and nonglare-causing light simultaneously sensed by a single light sensor. The control includes a processor that is more responsive to decreasing levels of light than to increasing levels of light to produce a signal that is indicative of the slow-transient characteristic of the light sensed by the single light sensor. The processor may include a very slow signal processor that is always operative and a somewhat faster-slow signal processor, which may be selectively inhibited when the mirror is fully colored, or when a differential circuit indicates that the difference between the glare and the non-glare light sensed by the light sensor exceeds a predetermined level. The differential circuit may additionally limit the differential between the glare and the nonglare lights sensed by the light sensor.

    • An electronic compass is described for use in vehicles. The compass employs a magnetoresistive sensor for sensing the earth magnetic field and the sensor is operated in alternate set/reset bias modes. In a first embodiment, the compass is provided with deviation compensation by a closed loop system including measurement of the sensor output signals and an offset current strap for nullifying the vehicle deviation field. In a second embodiment, deviation compensation is provided by operation in an initial calibration mode and by operation in a normal compensation mode to adjust compensation, as needed, on a long term basis during normal operation of the compass. In the initial calibration mode, while the vehicle is being driven, the signal peak values are adjusted to a nominal earth field level by changing the offset current. Then, compensating signal reference values for each axis are determined as each peak for that axis is determined. The system automatically exits the initial calibration mode when certain criteria have been met. In the normal compensation mode, the signal reference value for each axis is adjusted at least once during the time interval between turn-on and turn-off of the vehicle ignition switch.

    • An adaptive moisture sensor system includes a moisture sensor unit having a moisture sensor, which produces a moisture signal, a reference signal generating circuit and a comparator circuit for comparing the moisture signal with the reference signal and for producing an indication to the vehicle's wiper control of the relationship between the signals. The reference signal generating circuit indicates a fast positive signal processing circuit for rapidly processing changes in the moisture signal representing decreasing moisture and a slow signal processing circuit to process changes of the moisture signal in both directions at a slow rate. The fast positive signal processing circuit is only enabled during rain conditions due to a contaminant film on the sensed window. The reference signal generating circuit further includes a fast negative signal processing circuit which responds to a stable moisture signal occuring during rain conditions by rapidly offsetting the reference signal to discontinue wiper operation. Multiple sensing assemblies, each including a sensor, a reference signal generating circuit and a comparator, are combined with a master control unit, which responds to any sensing assembly indicating a rain condition, in order to switch all sensing assemblies to a rain mode.

    • A control for a moisture sensing assembly, adapted for mounting on the inner surface of a vehicle window or windshield to control vehicle accessories such as windshield wipers, maximizes the window area being sensed in relationship to the size of the assembly and provides immunity to interference from environmental influences. In the preferred embodiment, moisture on the outer window surface is detected by first and second moisture sensors each including infrared energy radiating diodes and radiant energy detectors which detect and process radiant energy to produce a moisture signal that is a function of the moisture on the window. A synchronizing circuit intermittently actuates the radiating diode for the two sensors individually and alternatingly at equally-spaced intervals. The synchronizing circuit also inhibits the radiant energy detectors from processing the radiant energy signal except when the corresponding radiating diodes are emitting energy in order to prevent interference from the other radiating diodes and environmental influences. The synchronizing circuit includes a pair of oscillators which include capacitors and coupling devices that coordinate the discharging of the capacitors in a manner which provides equal intervals between alternating output pulses from the oscillators.

    • A rearview mirror system for a vehicle having a reflective element with a reflective surface and a variable light transmission element includes an optical display device behind the reflective element in order to produce a visual display to the driver. A control is provided having a light sensor that senses light conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle and produces a continuously variable light signal indicative of such sensed light conditions. The control further includes a drive circuit that is responsive to the light signal in order to supply a drive signal to the reflective element and thereby establish the light transmission level of the light transmission element. The control further includes an intensity control circuit that varies the intensity of the optical display as a function of the value of the sensed light in the vicinity of the vehicle in order to accommodate physiological changes in the driver's eyes. The intensity control circuit further varies the intensity of the optical display device as a function of the drive signal supplied to the reflective element in order to compensate for reduced light transmission levels of the light transmission element. The intensity control circuit sums values of the light signal and the drive signal and processes the sum to a pulse-width modulated signal using a non-linear processor. The intensity control also provides a substantially constant high intensity of the optical display device for all values of sensed light above a predetermined high light level and for all values of sensed light below a predetermined low light level.
