摘要： The present invention is a strengthened fiber optic cable and the process for inserting the strengthened cable into a duct. The invention consists of pre-coating a fiber optic waveguide with an ultra violet (UV)/visible light curable resin such that the resin buffers the fiber optic waveguide. The pre-coated fiber optic waveguide is then cured in an UV/visible light oven at a temperature at ambient or above. An UV/visible light curable resin is pre-heated to a selected temperature and the buffered fiber optic waveguide and the at least one reinforcing fiber are transported through a binding resin bath, the fiber optic waveguide maintaining linear alignment throughout the bath as at least one reinforcing fiber is disposed about the fiber optic waveguide. The resin coated fiber optic waveguide and the least one reinforcing fiber are then cured in an UV/visible light curing station so as to form a fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cable is then transported to and insertion means which imparts sufficient translational force to the cable to impel the cable to a selected location in a duct.

摘要： An acceleration sensor having a sensing mass supported relative to a frame by a plurality of beams having a plurality of resistors integral therewith. The resistance of the beam resistors varies as the sensing mass is displaced relative to the frame in response to acceleration of the frame in a direction generally normal to the plane of beam extension. The displacement of the sensing mass due to such acceleration produces a corresponding change in the output of a Wheatstone bridge incorporating the beam resistors in the legs thereof. At least one leg of the bridge additionally has a resistor of variable resistance in series with the beam resistor thereof, the resistance of which is controlled by a microprocessor, whereby the range of bridge outputs is adjusted to initially compensate for manufacturing tolerances and thereafter compensate for temperature effects and component aging. The resistance is varied by way of the microprocessor switching fixed resistors in paarallel connection with the leg of the bridge.

摘要： An air bag firing circuit comprises a firing path which includes redundant acceleration sensors, i.e., two sensors of like threshold connected in parallel. Each sensor comprises normally-open switch means operated by an inertial mass and shunted by a resistor. A battery maintains a known voltage across the firing path while a microprocessor checks the integrity of the firing path by periodically reading and comparing the voltages achieved at various points thereabout. The microprocessor further tests each sensor individually by electromagnetically biasing the sensor's inertial mass in a manner so as to close the switch means thereof while determining the effect of such testing on the voltages achieved about the firing path. Upon the detection of a sensor failure, the microprocessor electromagnetically biases the sensor's inertial mass in a manner so as to maintain the switch means thereof in its open position, whereby the malfunctioning sensor is functionally removed from the firing path without impairing the function of the other sensor connected in parallel therewith.

摘要： A vehicle impact detection system (10) for controlling the actuation of an occupant safety restraint device includes a dual, independent sensor arrangement (12) having a vibratory sensor (24) affixed to an outer surface (16) of the vehicle for continuously generating an output signal (14) representative of the condition of the outer surface, and a processor (22) for performing signal processing on the output signal (14) to predict the time at which a second crush sensor (26) will produce an output signal (18). The system (10) allows a single point outer surface sensor to reliably predict severe impacts within a few milliseconds of initial impact, and therefore is particularly suited for controlling the actuation of a safety restraint device in response to side impacts.

摘要： A circuit for a actuating a vehicle passenger safety restraint such as an air bag includes pyroelectric sensors, pressure transducers, and ultrasonic acoustic sensors for sensing the presence, weight, and relative position of the passenger within a vehicle, respectively, which information is supplied to a control module controlling operation of the restraint. The control module, which includes processor means, calculates the likely effectiveness of the restraint in preventing or otherwise mitigating injury to the vehicle passenger in the event of subsequent operation of the restraint. A signal lamp is illuminated by the control module in the event that the passenger assumes a position which reduces the calculated likely effectiveness of the restraint below a threshold level therefor, thereby warning the passenger of the heightened risk of injury. Preferably, the control module uses the information generated by the sensors to supplement or otherwise corroborate other information received from inertia-type "crash" sensors or frangible "crush" sensors, thereby ensuring operation of the restraint only in those instances where the passenger is indeed placed as risk. Most preferably, the restraint is capable of providing a variable response, and the control module adjusts the response of the restraint prior to triggering the operation thereof so as to provide maximum protection to the passenger against injury.

摘要： An air bag firing circuit comprises a firing path including in series a safing sensor, a squib, and a crash sensor. Each sensor comprises normally-open switch means operated by an inertial mass and shunted by a resistor. A battery maintains a known voltage across the firing path while suitable control means checks the integrity of the firing path by reading and comparing the voltages achieved at various points thereabout. The control means further tests each sensor individually by sequentially operating suitable test means incorporated therein, such as means for biasing the inertial mass of each sensor towards its switch means to operate same, while determining the effect of such testing on the voltages achieved about the firing path. Upon the detection of a sensor failure, the malfunctioning sensor is removed from the firing path as by operating low-resistance shunt means therefor, or by operating means incorporated within the sensor for operating the switch means thereof without regard to acceleration, such as means for biasing its inertial mass towards its switch means to close same, thereby ensuring continued protection of the vehicle passengers until the sensor is serviced or replaced. If the malfunctioning sensor is the high-threshold crash sensor, the control means operates means on the low-threshold safing sensor to increase the threshold thereof upon removal of the crash sensor from the firing path, thereby providing continuing protection for vehicle passengers.

摘要： An occupant position sensing system incorporates an electric field sensor (30) into or on the cover (14) of an air bag inflator assembly (12) for purposes of sensing an occupant proximate the air bag inflator so that the air bag inflator may be disabled, or a warning device (26) may be activated, if the occupant is found to be within the associated danger-zone thereof. The electric field sensor (30) may comprise a plurality of electrodes (16), at least one of which is incorporated into or on the cover (14) of the air bag inflator assembly (12), wherein an occupant proximate the sensor electrodes modifies the associated inter-electrode capacitance (50). The output from the electric field sensor (30) may be used to control a controllable air bag inflation system responsive to occupant position. The instant invention provides improved discrimination between animate and inanimate objects, and improved detection of rearward facing infant seats, with reduced likelihood of false position measurements due to occupant extremities or objects proximate the air bag inflator.
