    摘要: A satellite crash sensor for use in a noisy area such as a crush zone has a crash dependent clock that uses an accumulated velocity signal derived from the acceleration signal, rather than the acceleration signal itself, to determine initiation and counting of the clock count. Successive velocity values are accumulated in an accumulated velocity value that is limited between zero and a maximum limit value. The clock count is incremented away from an initial zero value when the accumulated velocity value is greater than zero and back toward the zero value when the accumulated velocity value is equal to zero. The clock count is used as a measure of time from initiation of a possible crash event in the generation of a restraint deploy indicating signal in the satellite crash sensor.

    摘要: A keyless entry system for a motor vehicle is modified to be operable when the vehicle's engine is running and the vehicle's park brake is set. Keyless entry systems conventionally include an ignition switch position signal source and a door lock module having an enable input connected to the source of the ignition position signal. The disclosure teaches connecting the output of the ignition switch position sensor to the door lock modulo enable input through the part brake lamp. The enable input to the door lock module is then connected in common with the a park brake lamp switch. When the park brake lamp switch is closed by setting the park brake and activates the park brake lamp, the ignition position feed signal on the enable input is sunk by the switch and the potential level on the enable Is reduced, enabling the door lock module to operate as though the ignition switch had been moved to off.

    摘要: If deceleration in excess of a predetermined value is detected (step 104 in FIG. 2), a speed integral value &Dgr;V as time integration of the deceleration is calculated (step 110 in FIG. 2). A segment length of a characteristic curve of the speed integral value &Dgr;V in a predetermined range is calculated (steps 112, 114 in FIG. 2) . If it is decided that the segment length is smaller than a predetermined value l2 (step 116 in FIG. 2), the crash is decided as the low speed crash, etc. other than a soft crash. An air bag is inflated if the speed integral value &Dgr;V exceeds a predetermined threshold value VTH, whereas the speed integral value &Dgr;V is incremented by a predetermined value &agr; (step 118 in FIG. 2) if it is decided that the segment length exceeds l2 (step 116 in FIG. 2). Then, if it is decided that the speed integral value &Dgr;V exceeds the threshold value VTH (step 112 in FIG. 2), inflation of the air bag is executed to detect generation of the soft crash.

    摘要: A object on a seat of a motor vehicle is classified by creating a video image of the area and forming a silhouette of the object. The silhouette is divided into two segments and a separate ellipse is positioned to approximate the shape of each segment. The parameters that define the location and size of the two ellipses form a feature vector for the object. A Bayesian classification function utilizes the feature vector to determine the probability that the object fits which each of a plurality of classes. A class for the object is determined based on the probabilities. This method can be used to control operation of an air bag in the motor vehicle in response to the class of the object on the seat.

    摘要: In a process for capacitive object detection in a vehicle seat, capacitors arranged in the backrest and in the seat surface are influenced by an object. The capacitors are acted upon by alternating voltage and their capacitance is determined individually. From the value of each of the two capacitances, an evaluation of the object is derived by means of a value table. When the two evaluations correspond to one another (concerning the type of an object), an occupant protection system assigned to the seat is correspondingly activated or deactivated.

    摘要: A method and an arrangement are described for controlling activation of occupant restraining devices in a motor vehicle in which actual data relating to vehicle motion are detected and applied to an activation algorithm to generate activation signals as required for the activation of at least one of the restraining devices. In the disclosed method the following steps are performed: detecting actual data relating to vehicle motion; determining a target condition of vehicle motion corresponding to the desired operating behavior of the vehicle; comparing an actual condition of vehicle motion determined from at least some of the actual data detected with the corresponding target condition; parametering an activation algorithm employed to generate activation signals, taking account of differences between an actual condition and a target condition of vehicle motion; and applying the activation algorithm to at least some of the detected actual data for generation, as required, of situation-adapted activation signals for activation of at least one of the occupant restraining devices.

    摘要: A combined seat belt cover and pillow for use relative to a vehicular seat belt arrangement comprising an elongate seat belt cover for coupling to an elongate seat belt and a pillow coupled to the elongate seat belt cover adjacent to a first end of the elongate seat belt cover. The elongate seat belt cover and pillow can cooperate to simulate a head and a body of an animal wherein the pillow simulates the head of the animal and the elongate seat belt cover simulates at least a portion of the body of the animal. First and possibly second generally rigid widened portions of the elongate seat belt cover can simulate sets of legs of the simulated animal to disperse the force of the elongate seat belt relative to the vehicular occupant. A miniature simulation of the simulated animal can be retained by the elongate seat belt cover in a pocket, and a strip of ultra-smooth material can be affixed to the elongate seat belt cover and pillow. Still further, a speaker and a means for causing the speaker to provide audible communications to a vehicular occupant can be incorporated for providing, for example, automatic reminders to a vehicular occupant to fasten his or her seat belt. Even further still, the elongate seat belt cover and pillow can cooperate to simulate a game projectile and a striking implement.
