摘要： A sensor package which is reliable, low cost, simple, robust, and usable to input additional seat occupant information to an airbag controller to control airbag deployment, and which is insensitive to cross axis loading of a seat belt. A second housing member is internally interfaced with the first housing member, wherein a suspension system frictionlessly suspends the first housing member springably with respect to the second housing member. A pressure sensor is mounted to one of the first and second housings, and a biasing spring is mounted to the other of the first and second housings in axial abutment with the pressure sensor.

摘要： The present invention provides a method and device for simulating impact conditions which has a test sled 10, simulated occupant (14), and a pre-impact force-generating device. The pre-impact force-generating device can apply force directly to the simulated occupant being (14), thereby overcoming many of the cost problems associated with applying a low and long duration force directly to a test sled (10). The pre-impact force-generating device can be designed such that instead of providing a low and long duration force to a simulated occupant (14), it provides a short and high impact force to the simulated occupant (14). An impact force-generating device provides impact force directly to the sled (10) which simulates impact conditions.

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.

摘要： An occupant restraint system (10), and an associated control method, for a vehicle (16). The system (10) includes an actuatable occupant restraint device (18) which has an adjustable aspect. An ultrasound sensor (34) senses an occupant condition at a sense rate and provides a signal (38) indicative of the sensed occupant condition. An ultrasound signal sampler function (46) of a controller (26) samples the signal (38) at a sample rate. A restraint control determination function (50) of the controller (26) makes determinations regarding control of the restraint device (18) at a determination rate using the signal samples. A weight sensor (56) and at least one seat belt sensor (58, 60) sense occupant conditions (e.g., occupant weight and seat belt status) and provide indicative signals (66, 68, 70) to a rates determination function (84) of the controller (26). The rates determination function (84) determines the sense, sample and determination rates in response to the sensed occupant conditions.

摘要： An apparatus for controlling actuation of an occupant restraint system in a vehicle includes an accelerometer for providing a signal having a characteristic indicative of a vehicle crash condition. A microcomputer monitors the output of the accelerometer at a plurality of different times and determines an instantaneous power value from the plurality of monitored acceleration signals. The microcomputer further determines a vehicle delta velocity value from the acceleration signal. The microcomputer compares the instantaneous power and the delta velocity against associated thresholds. The microcomputer actuates the occupant restraining device when the vehicle delta velocity value exceeds its threshold within a time period from when the instantaneous power value exceeds its threshold.

摘要： An apparatus (10) for inflating a vehicle occupant restraint such as an air bag (32) includes a container (30). The container (30) includes a liner (96) and a composite material (100) encasing the liner (96). A gas (94) is stored under pressure in the container (30) and, when released from the container, inflates the vehicle occupant restraint (32). The apparatus (10) includes opener means (180) for opening the container (30) by rupturing the composite material (100) and the liner (96) to release the gas (94) from the container (30). The liner, when ruptured, produces liner fragments (200). The composite material (100) inhibits separation of the liner fragments (200) from the container (30).

摘要： An apparatus for controlling actuation of a vehicle occupant restraint system includes a displacement sensor mounted to the vehicle dashboard for sensing the distance between the air bag storage location and the occupant in a seat. An infrared sensor is mounted in the headliner above the occupant. The infrared sensor has a plurality of viewing fields for sensing the location of the occupant relative to the air bag storage location and provides an output indicative of the occupant's location relative to the air bag storage location. A controller determines the distance between the occupant and the air bag storage location from the output of the infrared sensor. The controller is also connected to the displacement sensor. The controller provides an electric enable signal when at least one of the sensors indicates that the occupant is at least a predetermined distance from the air bag storage location.

摘要： An apparatus for restraining a vehicle occupant during a crash of the vehicle comprises a first crash sensor securable to the vehicle and having a sensitivity axis parallel with a front-to-rear axis of the vehicle. The first sensor provides a signal having a value functionally related to crash energy directed parallel to the front-to-rear axis of the vehicle and impervious to crash energy directed parallel to a side-to-side axis of the vehicle. A second crash sensor is also securable to the vehicle and has a sensitivity axis parallel with a side-to-side axis of the vehicle. The second crash sensor provides a signal having a value functionally related to crash energy directed parallel to the side-to-side axis of the vehicle and impervious to crash energy directed parallel to the front-to-rear axis of the vehicle. The first and second crash sensors have their sensitivity axes oriented along mutually orthogonal axes. The apparatus further comprises a controller connected to the first and second crash sensors for determining a crash vector of a crash condition in response to the signals from the first and second crash sensors. Each of a plurality of actuatable occupant restraint devices is connected to the controller. The controller controls which of the plurality of actuatable occupant restraint systems is or are actuated in response to the determined crash vector.
