摘要： A three-dimensional grid is created by a series of panels arranged in a s-circle about a seated subject. The panels are configured or otherwise arranged to allow the seated subject full range of reach in all directions. The subject may be seated or standing and is placed a distance from the panels. The panels include a plurality of rods which slideably project through the panels in the direction of the seated subject. To determine reach, the subject reaches toward the rods and pushes them with either hand as far away from him/her as possible. Measurements may then be taken from the end of each rod that has been moved. Similarly situated panels, including visual indicia, may be used to evaluate field of view.

摘要： A vehicle safety seat system includes a contoured vehicle seat bottom and a foam layer disposed over the supporting vehicle seat bottom and supported by the supporting vehicle seat bottom. The foam layer has a rate sensitive compression characteristic. The rate sensitive compression characteristic is a compressive response to a slow application and a rigid response to a rapid application of force. To adapt an existing seat bucket to the desired configuration, a rigid foam layer may be molded within the supporting vehicle seat bottom. This rigid foam layer is contoured and disposed at an angle with respect to the horizontal. Seat belts having a pretensioner device are also provided. The pretensioner device is controlled according to both a frontal crash sensor and a vehicle-off ground control system to couple occupant to the seat bottom prior to a wheels first landing.

摘要： A vehicle safety seat system includes a seat, and a frame and support surface that are movable with respect to each other between rest and attenuated positions, wherein the frame and support surface are respectively a first and second distance apart. A biasing mechanism biases the frame and support surface to the rest position between blast and slam down phases. A damper coupled between the frame and support surface has blast and rebound recovery resistance settings. The blast resistance setting is set to a predetermined value based on a weight of a seat occupant. The damper, during the blast phase, resists motion between the frame and support surface toward the attenuated position based upon the blast resistance setting, and after the blast phase and prior to the slam down phase, resists motion between the frame and support surface toward the rest position based upon the rebound recovery resistance setting.

摘要： An actuation system for a two-section encapsulating life raft system is pided which includes a manually releasable spring-biased linkage assembly that normally serves to link a cable from the pressurized source for the encapsulating raft section and a cable for automatically actuating both the main raft section and the encapsulating section. Furthermore, by a simple manual operation, the linkage assembly undergoes rapid disassembly, and the cable for the pressurized source is disconnected from the actuating cable. A spring in the spring-biased assembly is compressed to store energy during connection of the assembly to the pressurized source cable, and the spring is retained in a compressed state as long as the linkage function is maintained. A manually removable retention pin is provided that normally retains the spring in the compressed state to retain the linkage function. However, when the retention pin is manually removed from the linkage retention position, the energy from the compressed spring is released, and the linkage assembly positively disassembles and disconnects the cable from the pressurized gas source from the linkage assembly. By breaking connection between the cable for the pressurized source and the linkage assembly, the cable for the pressurized source is disconnected from the actuation cable, thereby preventing the encapsulating raft section from being inflated.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种用于两部分封装救生筏系统的致动系统，其包括手动可释放的弹簧偏压连杆组件，其通常用于将来自用于包封筏部分的加压源的缆线与用于自动地驱动主筏 截面和封装部分。 此外，通过简单的手动操作，联动组件经历快速拆卸，并且用于加压源的电缆与致动电缆断开连接。 弹簧偏置组件中的弹簧被压缩以在组件连接到加压源电缆期间存储能量，并且只要保持联动功能，弹簧就保持在压缩状态。 提供了一种手动可移除的保持销，其通常将弹簧保持在压缩状态以保持联动功能。 然而，当从连杆保持位置手动地移除保持销时，来自压缩弹簧的能量被释放，并且连杆机构将电缆与加压气体源与连杆组件正确地分离和断开。 通过断开用于加压源的电缆和连接组件之间的连接，用于加压源的电缆与致动电缆断开连接，从而防止密封筏板部分膨胀。
