摘要： A method and apparatus (20) for recognizing and determining a location of an object (40) in an area of interest (31) comprises an imaging device (61) for obtaining an image of the area of interest. At least three identifying marks (104) are located at predetermined positions in the area of interest (31). The apparatus (20) also comprises a memory (78) in which the predetermined positions of the at least three identifying marks (104) are stored. A controller (80) determines whether the imaging device (61) is calibrated properly by analyzing the image obtained by the imaging device to determine whether positions of the at least three identifying marks (104) in the obtained image correspond to the predetermined positions stored in the memory (78). The controller (80) is also adapted to determine whether a view of the area of interest (31) from the imaging device (61) is obstructed.

摘要： A communication system (10) for use in a vehicle occupant restraint system (12). A central controller (14) is connected to a plurality of restraint devices (16) by a power and communication conductor (20). A signal function (28), via a voltage modulator (30), of the central controller (14) sequentially outputs voltage modulation messages to the restraint devices (16) on the conductor (20). The application sequence of the voltage modulation messages corresponds to a predetermined sequence of the restraint devices (16). A signal function (40), via a current draw modulator (42), in each of the restraint devices (16) outputs current modulation messages to the central controller (14) on the conductor (20). The application of the current modulation message from each respective restraint device (16) coincides with the outputting of a voltage modulation message from the central controller (14) to another specified one of the restraint devices.

摘要： A vehicle occupant protection system (10) includes an actuatable device (e.g., 20) for protecting a vehicle occupant (12). An accelerometer (e.g., 50) and a crash determination portion (66) of a controller (56) derive a first metric indicative of a vehicle crash condition. A Z-axis accelerometer (54) and a safing portion (50) of the controller (38) derive a second metric indicative of a vehicle vertical acceleration characteristic. The controller (66) actuates the device (e.g., 16) to protect the occupant (12) in response to the first metric indicating a vehicle crash condition and the second metric exceeding a predetermined threshold. Preferably, the system (10) includes a second device (e.g., 18) and another accelerometer (e.g., 58) and another crash determination portion (72) of the controller (56) to derive a third metric indicative of a vehicle crash condition. The controller (66) actuates the device (e.g., 18) to protect the occupant (12) in response to the third metric indicating a vehicle crash condition and the second metric exceeding a predetermined threshold. Thus, the second metric is utilized twice.

摘要： A system (10) conveys energy and communication between a master (16) and a plurality of slaves (18, 20), via a bus (14). A power/voltage transmitter (44) of the master (16) provides electrical energy, having a voltage, onto the bus (14) to power the slaves (18, 20). The power/voltage transmitter (44) adjusts voltage past a predetermined threshold to provide a message frame and modulating voltage during the message frame to convey messages to the slaves (18,20). Voltage receivers (58, 64), at each slave (18, 20), detect the voltage modulations to discern messages from the master (16) during the message frame. Current transmitters (56, 62), at each slave (18, 20), modulate current during the message frame to convey messages to the master (16). The current transmitters (18, 20) utilize the modulation of voltage of the electrical energy to clock modulation of current. A current receiver (48) of the master (16) detects current modulations to discern messages from the slaves (18, 20). Preferably, the system is part of an occupant protection system (12), and the slaves (18, 20) include an occupant protection device.
