An information processing and display system comprising steering wheel () having a rim () and at least one spoke (), and a plurality of sensors () placed about one or both of the rim and the spoke, each sensor selectively actuable due to the proximity of a finger, fingers, a hand or hands of a driver; and a processor, logic device or computer () in communication with each sensor and capable of detecting specific hand or finger movements corresponding to specific desirable functions.

Steering wheel with distributed sensors

A systemfor controlling vibratory motion in a vehicle steering wheelprone to oscillate in a given direction due to extraneous inputs at one or more frequencies. The systemhas a steering wheelof the type exhibiting a vibratory motion along a defined axis at one or more frequencies, at least one sensor for sensing the acceleration of the steering wheelalong the defined axis and an active control mechanism responsive to the output of the at least one sensor. The sensor is an accelerometer having a movable first massand a solenoid coilwhich when activated moves the massin a direction opposite to the motion of the steering wheeland at the frequency of motion of the steering wheel

Active system for damping motion of a steering wheel

A steering wheel () having a hub portion (), a rim () and at least one spoke () connected to the hub portion () and to the rim (), the rim () having a groove and a surface of the steering wheel (); a number of actuatable light sources located in or under the groove; light diffuser or lens () positioned in the groove above the light sources.
