摘要： The capacitance of a shielded capacitive load cell is determined so as to minimize the effect of stray or parasitic capacitance between the load cell and other objects including the shield. The load cell conductors are coupled across input and output terminals of an operational amplifier that is tied to a reference voltage. A constant current is applied to the load cell, and the resulting rate of change in voltage at the amplifier output is measured as a representation of the load cell capacitance. In a vehicle seat sensor application including an electromagnetic interference shield between the load cell and the seating surface, the amplifier output is coupled to the load cell electrode furthest from the shield, the amplifier maintains the other load cell electrode at a virtual reference voltage, and the shield is tied to the reference voltage.

摘要： Image processing parameters of an imaging chip in a vision-based occupant sensing system are adjusted for each frame based on ambient illumination responsive information obtained in the idle period preceding that frame. The same sensing data is also used to determine if active illumination is needed to supplement existent ambient illumination during the ensuing image acquisition interval. The inter-frame ambient illumination is detected with an external light sensor or with selected pixels of the imaging chip, and the information is used to calculate and set the gain and integration time of the imaging chip. In applications where the resolution of the imaging chip significantly exceeds the resolution required for occupant sensing, intensity data from one or more otherwise inactive pixels is averaged with the intensity data from the normally active pixels to adapt the sensitivity of the imaging chip to changing ambient illumination.
摘要翻译：基于基于视觉的乘员感知系统中的成像芯片的图像处理参数基于在该帧之前的空闲周期中获得的环境照明响应信息针对每个帧进行调整。相同的感测数据也用于确定在随后的图像采集间隔期间是否需要有源照明来补充现有的环境照明。用外部光传感器或成像芯片的选定像素检测帧间环境照明，并且使用该信息来计算和设置成像芯片的增益和积分时间。在成像芯片的分辨率显着超过乘员感测所需的分辨率的应用中，来自一个或多个非活动像素的强度数据与来自正常有源像素的强度数据进行平均，以使成像芯片的灵敏度适应于变化的环境照明。

摘要： A child restraint system for transporting a child within an automotive vehicle includes a weight sensor for determining the weight of the child and compares the child's weight to a recommended weight range. The weight sensor is disposed within a cushion that lines a shell and provides an electrical signal to a control unit. The control unit processes the electrical signal and provides an alert signal when the weight is not within the recommended range. Also, the child restraint system may include a second sensor for sensing a condition that depends upon the child's weight such as directional orientation or angular orientation of the child restraint system, or location or tension of a vehicle seat belt or tether that secures the child restraint system within the vehicle, or the location or tension of a harness for restraining the child occupant within the child restraint system.

摘要： An occupant sensing apparatus for a vehicle passenger compartment includes a laser line scanning unit. A line of IR light produced by a laser line generator is mechanically scanned over a region including a vehicle seat and a restraint deployment location. The reflected IR light is received by a solid-state imager, and a digital signal processor constructs a 3-D profile of the scanned region. The 3-D profile is used to detect and characterize a seat occupant or other object in the viewing region and to determine the proximity of an object to an inflatable restraint.

摘要： A vehicle passenger detection apparatus includes passive RF seat force sensors at each seating location and a single-point electronic control unit (ECU) for wirelessly acquiring passenger-related data from each of the sensors. A sensor-loaded surface acoustic wave (SAW) device is installed in each seating location of the vehicle, and the ECU successively interrogates the SAW devices to determine passenger presence for each of the seating locations. The SAW devices have distinguishable fundamental resonance frequencies for differentiation among the seating locations. A fluid-filled elastomeric bladder is installed in the seat bottom of each seating location, and a pelletized sensor including a capacitive pressure sensor and a SAW device is disposed in each bladder. The pressure sensor capacitively loads the respective SAW device so that when interrogated by the ECU, the SAW device emits an RF response indicative of the fluid pressure in the bladder.
