    摘要: An air bag system for protecting the occupants of a motor vehicle in the event of a collision has a plurality of firing circuits comprising air bag igniters (3a,3b,3c) in series with respective power transistors (T.sub.1,T.sub.2,T.sub.3) which can be triggered in the event of an accident to inflate a corresponding plurality of air bags. A single energy storage capacitor (E) is connected to all of the firing circuits for supplying energy to activate the bag igniters over the upper common power stage (7) in the event that there is a loss of battery voltage when the system has been actuated. A comparator (9) monitors the voltage drops across respective resistors (R.sub.1,R.sub.2,R.sub.3) in series with the power transistors (T.sub.1,T.sub.2, T.sub.3) and reduces the current through these transistors in the event that an excessive current is detected. Steps are taken to ensure that the period of activation of the current supply to the igniters is limited.

    摘要: A detonation circuit for an inflation capsule (10) of a vehicle air bag has a capacitor (20) which supplies energy to the capsule during a crash condition. The circuit has a transformer (12), the energy source (20) being electrically connectible to the primary coil (P) thereof by two transistors (30, 48) which assume a conducting state when associated control means (16, 18) determine that a crash condition has occurred. Only when both transistors conduct can the energy source (20) cause a change in the current flow through the primary coil (P), which in turn induces a change in current in the secondary coil (S) to which the capsule (10) is connected.It has been found that by monitoring the voltage and current characteristics in the primary coil (P), the state of the capsule (10) can be monitored. For example, it can be determined whether the capsule has fired, and if so further firing pulses may be suppressed.

    摘要: A method for measuring the resistance of a load, preferably the firing pellet of an airbag, that is connected on the secondary side of a rotary transformer, in which the resistance measurement is largely unaffected by the magnetic coupling between the windings of the transformer. According to this method, the capacitor is partially discharged twice in succession. During the first partial discharge, the capacitor is discharged continuously, and during the second partial discharge, the capacitor is discharged in steps. After the two partial discharges, the residual charge voltages at the capacitor are measured and the difference between the two charge voltages is obtained. This difference is an indication of the resistance of the load connected on the secondary side of the transformer.
