摘要： An apparatus for determining physiological data is provided for determining age of a vehicle passenger in the context of safety apparatus deployment. For picking up the physiological data, a sensor is used. In particular, the apparatus is configured for measuring the pupil size, which is a good parameter for distinguishing age. This parameter may be correlated with further measured values, in order to put the age determination on a reliable basis.

摘要： A method is proposed for evaluating a seat profile, in which a quality parameter with which the profile is evaluated, is first weighted with a dynamic factor. This dynamic factor is determined with the aid of the seat profile and/or at least one center of gravity. The seat profile characterizes the continuous changes in sensors of a sensor matrix, whereas, for the center of gravity, position changes in the at least one center of gravity are continuously monitored. The dynamic factor is then determined from a weighted sum of the changes in the sensors of the sensor matrix and the position changes of the at least one center of gravity. If appropriate, a holding function may be applied to the dynamic factor.

摘要： A method and a device are for evaluating sensor signals from a seat mat in a vehicle seat, the signals functioning to characterize the sensors in the seat mat as active and inactive. In this manner, a linear evaluation method is performed to make possible a weight classification of passengers situated on the vehicle seat. For this purpose, a seat profile is generated using the active and inactive sensors.

摘要： A method for adjusting the sensor cells of a seat mat to a mechanical stress caused by the installation of the seat mat in a vehicle seat, a diagnostic tester being connected to a control unit at the seat mat, and the diagnostic tester reads out the sensor values of the seat mat and compares them to setpoint values, in order then to transmit back correcting values to the control unit, which the control unit uses in further operation for calibrating the sensor values.

摘要： A device for classifying persons or objects, in particular for occupant classification in a motor vehicle, includes an arrangement for acquiring characteristic data on the person to be classified or the object to the classified; at least one algorithm for extracting features from the instantaneously acquired characteristic data; at least one filter for determining the classification of the person or the object from the instantaneously extracted features, taking into account the time progression of the features extracted for the person to be classified or the object to be classified; and a first counter for initiating the resetting of the filter when the algorithm, during the first time interval specified by the first counter, has exclusively provided features for the non-presence of a person or an object, so that the resetting behavior of the algorithm, or the filter downstream from the algorithm, may be decoupled from the output of the determined classification in a simple manner. A holding member is connected downstream from the filter to forward the classification determined by the filter, and a second counter is provided to initiate the resetting of the holding member if the algorithm, even after the second time interval specified by the second counter has elapsed, has provided only features for the non-presence of a person or an object.

摘要： A parking brake actuator for a cable-operated vehicle parking brake, comprises a mounting bracket on the vehicle, a sector gear mounted on the mounting bracket for rotation about an axis to variably tension the cable. A pedal lever is coaxially pivoted on the mounting bracket for independent rotation between a brake release position and a plurality of brake apply positions. A spiral-wound spring extends between the operating lever and the drive plate for rotating the drive plate relative to the lever to apply an initial tension on the cable. A drive clutch couples the drive plate to the lever upon initial rotation of the lever out of brake release position to enable rotation of the lever to increasingly tension the cable and apply the parking brake. The drive clutch includes a pinion gear mounted on the lever in engagement with the sector gear. A torsion clutch spring is wrapped about the pinion gear hub and has one end fixed to the lever and a free end, and normally contracts to prevent rotation of the pinion gear, thus operatively coupling the drive plate to the lever. A release pin on the mounting bracket is engaged by the torsion clutch spring free end in the brake release position to expand the torsion clutch spring to free the pinion for rotation, thus decoupling the drive plate from the lever. A similar position control clutch employing a torsion spring releasably maintains the drive plate in brake apply position.
