With a total of 5 patents to his name, Robson's work has had a meaningful impact on vehicle safety and performance.
Latest Patents
One of his latest innovations is the "Tire pressure monitor with diversity antenna system and method." This automotive tire pressure monitor employs a radio frequency (RF) transmitter within each wheel/tire assembly and a vehicle-mounted receiver with multiple receiving antennas. A primary antenna is located adjacent to one vehicle window, while a secondary antenna is positioned adjacent to another window opposite the primary. Both antennas are coupled to a receiver via a switch, which feeds a processor. This processor is encoded to select the optimal antenna/receiver configuration based on absolute signal strength, signal quality, or signal reception rate. The processed signal is then transmitted to the host vehicle for system intervention or display to an operator.
Another significant patent is the "Tire pressure monitoring system and method." This method includes steps for detecting a signal other than that of in-use tire pressure signals. In response to the detection of such a signal, the method maintains proper reception of the in-use tire pressure signals by the receiver.
