摘要： The present invention is a power supply for a fluorescent light, particularly a sub-miniature fluorescent light (SFL) which provides compensation for temperature and age effects of the fluorescent light. One or more SFLs are powered by a variable output anode controller and a variable output cathode controller, wherein the illumination output of the SFLs is selectively adjustable based upon the voltage output of one or both of the anode and cathode controllers. In a first example of implementation of the invention, an illumination feedback circuit is provided to the anode/cathode controller, wherein the voltage output is adjusted to compensate for diminished illumination, caused for example by cold operating conditions or age of the sensed SFLs. In a second form of the present invention, a temperature feedback circuit is provided to the anode/cathode controller to provide the aforesaid voltage adjustment to compensate for diminished illumination. In another aspect of the present invention, the SFLs are placed into a ready-state for being presently illuminated based upon sensing of a wake-up signal.

摘要： A vehicle occupant protection apparatus (10) includes seat belt webbing (12), a field effect device (50) and a field source device (48) which, when energized, provides a field that energizes the field effect device (50). The webbing (12) is movable to a predetermined position in which it extends into the field to affect the field in a predetermined manner. The field effect device (50) has a first output when the webbing (12) is not in the predetermined position and has a second, different output when the webbing (12) is in the predetermined position. The output of the field effect device (50) thus indicates whether or not the webbing (12) is in the predetermined position.

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： An apparatus (20) for sensing pressure in a stiff wall sealed vessel (30) comprises a piezoelectric transducer (200) operatively coupled to the vessel (30) for transferring energy to pressurized fluid in the vessel (30). A piezoelectric sensor (202) is operatively coupled to the vessel (30) for providing a received electrical signal having a frequency value indicative of the oscillation frequency of the pressurized fluid. A receiver circuit (224, 226, 228) is operatively connected to the sensor (202) and provides a fluid resonating signal having a frequency indicative of the fluid pressure in the vessel (30). A drive circuit (230) is operatively connected to the receiver circuit (224, 226, 228) and to the piezoelectric transducer (200). The drive circuit (230) initially drives the piezoelectric transducer (206) with noise. Subsequently, the drive circuit (230) drives the piezoelectric transducer (200) with an energy wave having a frequency equal to a frequency value functionally related to the natural frequency of the pressurized fluid in the vessel (30).

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 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).
