摘要:
A method is presented of optimizing an airbag suppression threshold for an airbag suppression system in a vehicle. The method includes defining a first value as the airbag suppression threshold such that deployment of an airbag is suppressed above the first value. Next, one or more factors indicative of a presence of a child restraint seat in the vehicle seat are determined. The airbag suppression threshold is set to a predefined second value when each of the factors are met. The factors include determining whether a locking feature in a set belt webbing retractor is in a first state configured to prevent withdrawal of the seat belt webbing. Other factors may include determining whether a speed of the vehicle is within a predetermined speed range and whether a load applied to the vehicle seat is within a predetermined seatload range.

1. In combination, a first source for producing a first signal representative of intelligence to be transmitted from one point to another, second source for producing a binary carrier signal having a first voltage level and a second voltage level, means responsive to the first signal and to the binary carrier signal for frequency-modulating the carrier signal in accordance with the first signal to produce a modulated intelligence signal having first and second voltage levels and exhibiting transitions between the same, a third source for producing a binary encoding signl having first and second voltage levels and exhibiting transitions between such levels in conformance with an apparently random predetermined sequence of variations in the encoding signal between the first and second voltage levels at different multiples of a particular time interval, and circuit means coupled to said modulating means and to said third source for inverting the voltage level of the encoding signal from the first voltage level to the second voltage level and from the second voltage level to the first voltage level and upon the simultaneous occurrence of the second voltage level in the intelligence signal to produce an encoded intelligence signal.

The position transducer uses an elongated resistance which can be switched to a fixed voltage source to provide a voltage gradient along the resistance. A metal strip with a single aperture is arranged to be moved along parallel to the resistance and another elongated metal conductor is positioned on the other side of the metal strip so that the metal strip with the aperture is sandwiched between the resistance and the conductor. Physical movement of the strip moves the aperture and thus will change the voltage value electrostatically coupled from the voltage on the resistance to the conductor. An analog voltage constituting a function of a digital count value is repetitively switched onto the entire resistance and compared with this voltage value at a given high frequency. If the analog voltage is less than the voltage value on the resistance opposite the aperture, an up count signal is generated to increase the digital count and thus increase the analog voltage. If the analog voltage is greater than the voltage value, a down count signal is generated to decrease the digital count value and thus decrease the analog value. Comparisons are made on each cycle of said given high frequency. Either or both the digital count value and analog signal can be used as an accurate indication of the physical position of the aperture.

1. A radar system for determining the range to and velocity of a target comprising the combination of:Transmitting means for radiating energy at a first particular frequency toward the target,Encoding means for generating a series of binary encoding pulses having a repetitive pseudo-random pattern, said series including a plurality of groups each of which include the same number of pulses wherein the plurality constitutes an odd number,Means for operatively interconnecting said encoding means with said transmitting means for modulating the transmitted energy in response to said binary encoding pulses to thereby provide a modulation pattern on said energy,Gating means operatively interconnected with said transmitting means for periodically gating said transmitting means "ON" and "OFF" at a particular time in successive groups of the binary encoding pulses,Means operatively interconnected with said gating means to count said binary encoding pulses for actuating said gating means at the particular time in the successive groups so that said gating means will cause said transmitting means to radiate pulses of energy that have their modulation patterns repeat in accordance with the repetition rate of said series of encoding pulses,Receiving means operative during the intervals between the radiation of said pulses for receiving the energy reflected from the target to provide reflected energy having frequencies that differ from the frequency of the transmitted energy in accordance with the velocity of the target relative to the transmitting means and having modulation patterns substantially identical to but delayed from the transmission pattern in accordance with the range to the target,Means operatively interconnected with said first encoding means for producing a second series of binary encoding pulses according to said predetermined code and having said pseudo-random pattern,Means operatively interconnecting said last means with said receiving means for supplying said second series of binary encoding pulses to said receiving means with a time delay substantially equal to the time required for the radiated energy to return from the target, andMeans for comparing said delayed series with the modulation pattern on the reflected signals from the target to provide an output signal having a frequency corresponding to the difference between the frequency of the transmitted energy and the frequency of the energy received from the target.
