    摘要: A vehicle occupant sensing system that includes a sensor assembly. The sensor assembly has a housing that includes a base and an upper slide member. The upper slide member is moveable toward and away from the base. A sensor is operatively fixed relative to at least one of the upper slide member and the base and is operable to detect movement of the upper slide member toward and away from the base. Additionally, the vehicle occupant sensing system includes a variable biasing member adapted to bias the upper slide member away from the base with a force that is non-linearly related to movement of the upper slide member toward and away from the base. The vehicle occupant sensing system of the present invention may be employed in a vehicle seat assembly to detect a condition of the vehicle seat assembly.

    摘要: A vehicle occupant sensing system for a vehicle seat assembly that includes at least one emitter and at least one sensor operable to detect relative distance between the sensor and the emitter to thereby detect a condition of the vehicle seat assembly. The vehicle occupant sensing system also includes a biasing pad adapted so as to be disposed below a seat cushion of the vehicle seat assembly so as to deflect in response to deflection of the seat cushion. The biasing pad supports at least one of the emitter and the sensor such that the emitter and the sensor are biased away from each other and such that one of the emitter and the sensor are supported for movement toward and away from the other.

    摘要: A vehicle occupant sensing system including a controller and at least one sensor assembly. The sensor assembly has a housing with a base and an upper slide member supported for movement toward and away from the base. At least one sensor is operatively mounted relative to the upper slide member and base. The sensor is operable to detect movement of the upper slide member toward and away from the base and is operable to generate an electrical signal correlative of the movement of the upper slide member toward and away from the base. Additionally, the system includes at least one discrete wire electrically connecting the sensor and controller. The discrete wire is operable to communicate the electric signal from the sensor to the controller. The vehicle occupant sensing system may be employed in a seat assembly.

    摘要: A method of determining an equivalent output value for a failed sensor in a vehicle seat having an occupancy sensing system. The method includes the steps of sensing the output of each sensor in an array of sensors that detect a physical presence in the seat. If the output of the sensor falls below a predetermined value, exceeds a predetermined value, or remains fixed the sensor is classified as inoperative. The method then calculates an equivalent sensor output value for any sensor classified as inoperative and applies the sensor array output values for each operable sensor in the array and the calculated equivalent output value for any inoperative sensor to a neural net. Then, the applied sensor output values are recognizing as falling within one of a group of predetermined classification patterns that represent a physical presence in the seat defined by size, weight, and physical orientation.

    摘要: A vehicle occupant sensing system including a circuit carrier, an electric circuit with leads, and a sensor with a body and a plurality of formed terminals. Each of the terminals has a lower portion spaced a predetermined distance away from a plane defined by the bottom surface of the body. Moreover, the system has a plurality of conductive connectors each including a blade extending into the circuit carrier and into electrical communication with a lead of the electric circuit. The body is supported on the circuit carrier, and the terminals are supported by the top end of the connector. Also included is a method of manufacturing the same. The formed terminals allow the sensor to be more easily positioned relative to the connector, thereby facilitating assembly. Also, the connectors support the terminals when the connector attaches to the terminal, thereby inhibiting damage to the terminals that could otherwise occur.
