Tonight's subject is anti-lock braking systems. Are they truly compatable with anti-locking principals? I think not. I've had ABS lock on me several times, even those from respected Nip tin stampers...It's a flaw in the system itself. No one little brakey elf can wake up when all it's little elf friends are asleep.

I know I'll be disqualified from competing in the double secret round taking place next spring in Prague, but my guess for the SECRET WORD is: optical mouse

You're thinking you have a dead wheel sensor?

No, all four wheels stopped turning. If all wheels stop on ABS system it stops reacting, I've had it happen many a time, icy parking lot, at slow speeds, but it occurred to me that the same thing could happen at 40, 50, however fast on icy roads. A simple little imager like in optical mouse could detect such a situation.

What does an optical mouse do? It takes a picture ever xxxth of a second and compares it to the last image, that's how it knows it's moved, how far, and in which direction. Someday everyone will be singing my prasies for putting mice in their cars.

OK, I see what you're saying now. I couldn't see the elves because of all the Hall effect.
