    Abstract: Movable vehicular assembly including an electricity generating system includes a movable substrate such as a tire, a power generating system arranged on, in connection with or within the substrate and to generate energy from movement of the substrate, and a circuit coupled to the power generating system and including an energy storage device. The circuit is operable in an active mode when the substrate moves and the power generating system generates energy or the energy storage device contains energy for powering the circuit and in a passive mode when the substrate is not moving and the energy storage device does not contain sufficient energy to power the circuit. The circuit receives power to operate in the passive mode from a signal received by the circuit. Components which may be part of the circuit include a surface-acoustic-wave device and a radio-frequency identification device.

This information may be the type, size and/or position of the object or a part thereof. The information may be used to control vehicular components which have a variable use based on the type, size or position of the object or part thereof.

    Abstract: Crash sensor arrangement for determining whether a crash involving the vehicle requires deployment of an occupant restraint device including a first electronic crash sensor mounted in the crush zone of the vehicle for measuring a reaction of the crush zone to a crash and outputting a signal representative of the measurements and a processor coupled to the first sensor for processing the signal to determine whether the restraint device should be deployed. The first sensor may include an accelerometer, a gyroscope or an elongate member arranged to sense the reaction of the crush zone over a substantial part of the front, side or rear of the vehicle. Optionally, a second electronic crash sensor is mounted outside the crush zone to measure a reaction of the vehicle other than crush of the crush zone. Both sensors input signals to the processor which is programmed to determine whether the restraint device should be deployed using an algorithm and data from the first and/or second sensors. The second sensor may be mounted in association with the passenger compartment.
