    摘要: A crash detector activates a safety device (3, 4) such as an air-bag in a vehicle. The crash detector incorporates an acceleration sensor (10), the output of which must pass a threshold (11) before the signal is processed by a signal processor (2). The signal is processed optionally in conventional ways (13, 14; 16, 17) to activate the safety device. Activation of the safety device is inhibited by a slam algorithm generator (18). In the slam algorithm generator a control signal is generated which converges towards an average of the acceleration signal during periods of time in which the acceleration signal indicates an inward acceleration in excess of a predetermined level, the control signal being reduced at a substantially constant rate with time during periods in which the acceleration is not in excess of said predetermined level. The control signal is passed to a threshold means (19) which enables (15) actuation of the safety device (3, 4).

    摘要: A crash detector arrangement comprises a crash sensor(1) in the form of an accelerometer which provides a signal to a micro-processor(2) which uses a first algorithm to determine if the signal is representative of a crash of a predetermined severity and which consequently provides an output(8) rendering a first switch(9) conductive. The output of the accelerometer(1) is provided also to the micro-processor(2) through a high pass filter. This input to the micro-processor is processed by another, different, algorithm determined to differentiate a crash from a signal error in the accelerometer. A second output(7) is generated by the micro-processor which is used to assist in the control of a further switch(13). The two switches(9,13) are in a series connection incorporating a source of power(10) and a resistor(12). When current passes through the resistor, the safety device is activated. The second output(7) of the micro-processor(2) passes through an AND-gate(6) which also receives an input from a threshold detector(4) and from a check circuit(14).
