Abstract: Airbag cushions and airbag cushion assemblies comprising mitts or bends for mitigating injuries during oblique impacts. In some embodiments, the cushions may be configured to deploy so as to extend adjacent to an occupant in a vehicle laterally of the occupant and form a mitt configured to receive the occupant's head and/or thorax during an oblique impact event. The airbag cushion may comprise a first portion configured to, upon deployment, extend laterally of the occupant towards a front portion of the vehicle and a second portion configured to, upon deployment, extend at an angle relative to the first portion so as to form the mitt.

Abstract: A squib driver circuit for deployment of an active safety restraint in a vehicle. The squib driver circuit may include a low side protection circuit. The low side protection circuit may include a comparator circuit to compare a voltage at a low side return terminal to a reference voltage and activate a timer in response to the voltage at the low side return terminal exceeding the reference voltage, the timer generating a disable signal to disable the low side driver after a predetermined period of time. The low side protection circuit may disable the low side driver after the short is detected and elapse of the predetermined period of time. The squib driver circuit may be formed on a single chip.

Abstract: A squib driver circuit for deployment of an active safety restraint in a vehicle. The squib driver circuit may include a high side protection circuit. The high side protection circuit may include a comparator circuit to compare the input voltage to a reference voltage and activate a timer in response to the input voltage exceeding the reference voltage, the timer generating a disable signal to disable the high side driver after a predetermined period of time The high side protection circuit may disable the high side driver after a short is detected and elapse of the predetermined period of time. The squib driver circuit may be formed on a single chip.

Abstract: Airbag assemblies can reduce rotational velocity of an occupant's head during a collision event. Some airbag assemblies include a first airbag cushion that is disposed forward of an occupant and a second airbag cushion that is disposed generally lateral to the occupant. When the occupant moves in an oblique direction during a collision event, the second airbag cushion may contact the head of the occupant and reduce its rotational velocity.

Abstract: A clamping arrangement for an inflatable restraint of a motor vehicle includes a base member and a retention member. The base member has a partially cylindrical shape. The partially cylindrical shape extends circumferentially through no more than 180°. The retention member cooperates with the base member to define a circular opening.

Abstract: An inflatable airbag system can be configured to be mounted at a frontal region of a vehicle. The inflatable airbag system includes an airbag comprising a center cushion and a pair of side cushions each coupled to the center cushion on opposing sides of the center cushion. The side cushions can each have a triangular shape with an apex extending rearward further than at least a portion of an occupant-facing surface of the center cushion. The side cushions can be oriented with respect to each other at opposing angles relative to the center cushion such that an overall geometrical shape of the airbag is wider at a forward reaction base area of the airbag than at a rearward occupant-receiving area.

Abstract: An electronics module includes a housing, a connector, and a baseplate. The housing and connector are attached to each other and mounted to the baseplate. The housing includes a protrusion that is received between an inner flange and an outer flange of the connector. The housing and connector combine to define a sealing plane that extends to co-planar bottom surfaces of the housing and connector. The housing and connector, when assembled, define a water intrusion path between an outer protrusion of the housing and the outer flange of the connector. The water intrusion path includes a plurality of chicanes that reduces the pressure of water that enters the path. The bottom surface of the housing defines a recessed channel to receive water.

Abstract: An airbag is configured to be coupled to a steering wheel of a motor vehicle. The airbag includes a first panel and a second panel. The first panel is coupled to the second panel to form a split at a bottom area of the airbag forming two or more legs. The two or more legs cooperate to reduce the thickness of the airbag in a lower region upon inflation of the airbag as compared with an upper region of the airbag which interacts with the head and upper torso of an occupant.

Abstract: A method for detecting the location of and isolating a leak in a braking system by simultaneously controlling a direct apply subsystem (DAS) and an isolated apply subsystem (IAS) to enable fluid communication between the IAS and the first circuit; to block fluid communication of the DAS with the first circuit; to enable fluid communication of the DAS with the second circuit; and to block fluid communication of the IAS with the second circuit. A sensed travel of an isolated apply component and a sensed fluid pressure developed by the IAS may be used to determine if the leak is present in the first circuit, while simultaneously using the sensed travel of a direct apply component of the DAS, and a sensed fluid pressure developed by the DAS, to determine if the leak is present in the second circuit.
