Abstract

A new method and apparatus whereby the velocity of an object is utilized to precisely activate a control device. First (14) and second (16) sensors provide an indication of the ve­ locity of the object which is then utilized with predetermined standards representative of system parameters to determine an appropriate time delay before the control device (20) should be activated. A signal functionally representative of the ap­ propriate time is then utilized to provide generally precise tim­ ing control of a control device.
