Abstract: A side curtain airbag for a vehicle includes a serial main chamber that inflates and deploys along an interior side surface of the vehicle; a protruding chamber disposed at a front side of the main chamber to further protrude toward an interior of the vehicle relative to the main chamber; and a cutting line arranged between the main chamber and the protruding chamber to partially separate the protruding chamber from the main chamber such that the protruding chamber overlaps with a portion of the main chamber upon non-inflation of the airbag. In this configuration, upon a vehicle collision, the head portion of the occupant is prevented early from being ejected toward the front of the vehicle.

Abstract: A processor-based electronic system for use in a vehicle may be used to automatically control the vehicle's velocity and position to cause the vehicle to automatically merge into a lane on a roadway or to maneuver around a road hazard or obstacle. A message can be transmitted to other vehicles indicating the vehicle is to occupy a future lane position at a future point in time. The vehicle electronic system may receive a message from one or more of the other vehicles in response thereto. One or more of the other vehicles may adjust their position based on the indicated future lane position. The vehicle electronic system may transmit a further message to the one or more of the other vehicles before merging into the lane.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for generating a horn actuation signal. A load cell is placed inside a steering wheel, which changes its resistance when being stressed or deformed by a force transmitting part of the steering wheel. An actual voltage (Va) depending on the resistance of the load cell is measured and the horn actuation signal is generated based on the measurement of the actual voltage (Va). The actual voltage (Va) depends additionally to the resistance of the load cell and on an adjustable voltage (Vad) generated by an adjustable voltage generation unit. Additionally, the result of the measurement of the actual voltage (Va) is permanently compared to a defined value, and the adjustable voltage (Vad) is adjusted in response to the difference between the result of the measurement of the actual voltage (Va) and the defined value at least as long as no horn actuation signal is generated, such that closed circuit for controlling the actual voltage (Va) is provided.

Abstract: A belt retractor having a belt shaft having a shaft body, a profile head and a torsion bar, wherein the torsion bar arranged in the shaft body is connected on one end to the shaft body and on a second end to the profile head, and the profile head can be securely attached to the vehicle, and having a belt pretensioner, wherein a pretensioner drive wheel of the belt pretensioner is directly connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the profile head of the belt shaft, and mass bodies can be engaged with the pretensioner drive wheel so as to transmit force to drive the belt shaft in winding direction. The pretensioner drive wheel (16) is configured by means of two parts, the profile head (1) of the belt shaft and a push-on ring (2) that is pushed onto the profile head (1) and is positively and non-positively connected thereto, wherein respectively mutually opposite dome-shaped partial receiving socket segments (3), which form together receiving sockets for the mass bodies, are formed on the profile head (1) and on the push-on ring (2).

Abstract: A switching mechanism (100) in a force limiter mechanism of a seat belt retractor including: a locking mechanism including a locking element (68) that locks a torque tube (64) with respect to a spindle (61) so that the torque tube (64) rotates together with the spindle (61) and a spindle ring (70); a switch ring (120) rotatable to unlock the locking mechanism; and a switch housing (101) that stores the switch ring (120), a switch piston (115) adapted to activate the switch ring (120). A switching gas generator (116) generates gas for pushing out the switch piston (115) upon activation of the switching mechanism. The switch housing (101) of the switching mechanism (100) has a protrusion (110) that protrudes in an incoming direction of an operated part (122) at an abutment part hit by the switch ring (120) rotated by the switch piston (115) to control movement of the switch ring.
