摘要： A seat belt buckle (12) includes a latch mechanism (20) and a Hall effect assembly (26). The latch mechanism (20) releasably interlocks with a seat belt tongue (16). The Hall effect assembly (26) has a first output if the seat belt tongue (16) is not interlocked with the latch mechanism (20) and has a second, different output if the seat belt tongue (16) is interlocked with the latch mechanism (20). The output of the Hall effect assembly (26) thus indicates whether or not the seat belt tongue (16) is interlocked with the latch mechanism (20).

摘要： A vehicle seat belt retractor system (10) includes two seats (16, 18) each having its own integrated seat belt webbing retractor (60, 112). Each retractor (60, 112) includes a locking assembly (76, 80) for blocking belt withdrawal in response to an electrical signal. At a central location in the vehicle spaced from the seats (16, 18), a sensor (24) is disposed for sensing vehicle deceleration exceeding a predetermined deceleration and for providing a control signal indicative thereof. An RF transmitter (42) is electrically connected with the sensor (24) and is actuatable in response to the control signal to transmit an RF signal. An RF receiver (100, 114) on each vehicle seat (16, 18) receives the RF signal and provides an output signal to actuate the locking assembly (76, 80) of the two seat belt retractors (60, 112). Each vehicle seat (16, 18) also has (a) a battery (98) for supplying electric power to actuate the locking assembly (76, 80) of the retractors (60, 112) and (b) a piezoelectric member (90) responsive to an occupant sitting on the seat for generating an electric current to charge the battery (96). In a second embodiment, a separate deceleration sensor (24a) is mounted on each vehicle seat for electrically actuating its associated retractor. In a third embodiment, the transmitted signal provides the power for actuating a vehicle occupant restraint (178).

摘要： A method for determining frequency components present in a particular type of vehicle crash for which it is desirable to actuate a passenger restraint system in a vehicle of a predetermined class of vehicles is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of providing a time domain vibratory electric signal that is responsive to and that includes frequency component values indicative of a vehicle crash, crashing a vehicle of the predetermined class under at least one condition in which it is not desirable to actuate the vehicle passenger restaint system and recording an associated vibratory electric signal, crashing a vehicle of the predetermined class under at least one condition in which it is desirable to actuate the vehicle passenger restraint system, recording an associated vibratory electric signal, and performing a frequency domain transform function on the time domain recorded signals so as to identify frequency components for the electric signals recorded both crash conditions. The method further comprises the steps of comparing the frequency components for the crash conditions for which it is not desirable to actuate the passenger restraint system against the frequency components for the crash conditions for which it is desirable to actaute the passenger restraint system, and identifying frequency components present in crash conditions in which it is desirable to actuate the passenger restraint system and not present in the crash conditions in which it is not desirable to actuate the passenger restraint system.

摘要： An apparatus (10) and a method for controlling a plurality of controllable devices (14, 16, 18 and 20). Preferably, the devices (14, 16, 18 and 20) are located within a vehicle. A touch pad (46) of the apparatus (10) has an array of manually touchable areas (48) and provides signals indicative of manual touches to the areas (48). The array of manually touchable areas (48) are arranged such that various swiping and non-swiping manual touch patterns to the array can be accomplished. The touch patterns include touch patterns which correspond to controllable aspects of the devices (14, 16, 18 and 20). The apparatus (10) includes a control module (52). A receiver function (60) of the control module (52) receives the signals provided by the touch pad (46). An interpreter function (64) of the control module (52) interprets information contained within the received signals to identify touch patterns to the touch pad (46). A communication function (66) of the control module (52) provides control signals to control the controllable aspects of the devices (14, 16, 18 and 20) in response to the identified touch patterns.

The apparatus includes a sensor securable to the vehicle for providing a vibratory electric signal having various frequency components indicative of whether the vehicle is in a deployment condition. The particular frequency components indicative of an deployment condition are not present when the vehicle is in a non-deployment condition. A filter circuit is connected to the sensor for providing an electric signal having a value indicative of the value of the particular frequency components indication of the occurrence of a deployment condition that are present in the signal provided by the sensor. A signal generator provides the actuation signal when the signal from the filtering circuit exceeds a predetermined value.

摘要： A rotatable spool has seat belt webbing wound around the spool. A motor, when actuated, rotates the spool in the belt withdrawal direction. A spring has a biasing force which rotates the spool to wind the belt webbing onto the spool. A worm gear mechanism is located between the motor and the spool and is selectively drivingly connectable with the spool. When drivingly connected with the spool, the worm gear mechanism prevents the biasing force of the spring from winding the belt webbing onto the spool. A clutch, when engaged, connects the spool and the worm gear mechanism. The clutch is disengaged and the motor is deactuated when a belt tension signal is below a lower predetermined threshold value. The clutch is engaged and the motor is actuated when the belt tension signal is above an upper predetermined threshold value which is greater than the lower predetermined threshold value. The clutch is engaged and the motor is deactuated when the belt tension signal is between the upper and lower predetermined threshold values. A pressure sensor provides the belt tension signal which continuously varies in magnitude as the amount of tension in the belt webbing continuously varies.
