摘要： In a method of operating a passive safety system, such as an airbag supplemental restraint system in a motor vehicle, the trigger threshold value for triggering the deployment of the airbag or the like is updated or changed over time as the vehicle deteriorates with age or operation. As a result of material fatigue, rust and the like, the vehicle chassis becomes less stiff with increased age and/or increased operation. Consequently, the crash behavior of a deteriorated vehicle differs from that of a new vehicle of the same type. Namely, the deceleration during a crash will be less abrupt. To achieve reliable, consistent and timely triggering of the airbag regardless of advancing deterioration of the vehicle, the trigger threshold value is reduced by pre-determined correction values responsive to an increase of one or more degradation-related parameters, such as the age of the vehicle as indicated by a clock, the cumulative operating time of the vehicle as indicated by an operating hour meter, and/or the cumulative distance traveled by the vehicle as indicated by an odometer.

摘要： The safety of occupants in a vehicle is increased by avoiding an unnecessary deployment of a safety device, such as an air bag in the vehicle. For this purpose the trigger signal for deploying the safety device is generated either in response to a vehicle motion signal exceeding a high threshold level or in response to the vehicle motion signal exceeding a low threshold level as determined by a precrash signal (S1) followed by a crash signal (S2) preferably within a limited time duration (TMAX). For this purpose the signals (S1) and (S2) are logically linked and the resulting signal at the output of an AND-gate or at the output of a timing circuit determines whether the vehicle motion signal is compared with the high threshold level or with the low threshold level for generating the trigger or deployment signal (DS). Only when this double condition occurs, is the trigger threshold lowered for deploying the safety device. An optical sensor is preferably used as the crash signal generator.

摘要： In order to secure a circuit board or the like in a housing, the board is provided with a through-hole, and the housing is provided with a mounting stud that protrudes into the housing from an outer wall thereof. A securing pin simultaneously passes through the through-hole of the board and into a hollow space or bore of the mounting stud. The securing pin is preferably conically tapered so that it exerts a wedging and spreading force radially outwardly against the inner surface of the hollow bore of the securing stud, and directly or indirectly against the inner surface of the through-hole of the board. Thereby, the board is securely fastened to the stud, and the pin is secured in the stud, by the wedging effect. An end portion of the stud may also be received in the through-hole of the board, and the pin may be integrally formed as a protrusion of a lid for the housing.

摘要： A contact bridge arrangement in a housing of an electronic assembly provides a simplified electrical interconnection of circuit boards while avoiding the need of electrical plugs, sockets and connector cables for connecting the circuit boards. The contact bridge includes an insulating block provided on the floor of the housing, and a plurality of conducting connectors embedded in the insulating block. First electrical contacts, such as contact pads with holes therein, are provided on the circuit boards, and engage the second electrical contacts in the form of contact pins provided by the free ends of the conducting connectors protruding from the insulating block. Assembling the arrangement simply requires pressing the circuit boards onto the contact pins of the contact bridge. The insulating block of the contact bridge may have a step configuration providing two offset flat support surfaces on which two circuit boards may be supported one above the other with a spacing therebetween.

摘要： An arrangement of electronic components in a housing includes a housing, at least one circuit board arranged in the housing with electronic components of a first type (such as SMDs) mounted thereon, at least one electronic component of a second type (such as a non-SMD coil or capacitor) that is not arranged on the circuit board but rather is mounted on a mounting surface in the housing, and an electrical connection established between the second electronic component and the circuit board. The electrical connection may be established by a connector member having two connecting shanks connected to the wires of the second component and two mounting shanks that are press-fit into contact holes of the circuit board. Alternatively, the electrical connection may be established by respective contact clips electrically and mechanically clamped onto the wires of the second component, whereby the contact clips have contact pins that plug into contact holes in the circuit board.

摘要： A passenger protection system is triggered directly at least when a second stage is reached among at least two different stages of an accident hazard an/or accident force, determined in accordance with sensor signals. Already when a first accident hazard and/or accident force stage is reached, at least an indirect trigger command is sent to individual passenger protection systems, a specified time interval is started, and, in the event of the second accident hazard and/or accident force stage not being reached within the specified time interval, a cancel command is sent to cancel the indirect trigger command. On receipt of such an indirect trigger command the passenger protection systems also start a relevant time interval, and in the event of the cancel command not being received on expiry of the relevant time interval, they automatically activate the triggering of the passenger protection systems.

摘要： A housing for an assembly of electronic components mounted on a circuit board is predominantly made of plastic, and includes a plastic housing cover and a housing floor. Metal surfaces are provided in the housing to preferentially condense moisture from the air in the housing upon cooling, to avoid condensation on the circuit board or the electronic components. The metal surfaces may be a metal casing around an electronic component, a metallized layer deposited on an inner surface of the housing, a metal insert in the housing, a metal housing floor, or an additional metal floor plate adjacent to a plastic housing floor. A hydrophobic film enforces condensate droplet formation, and channels and drain holes drain the condensate droplets out of the housing. An encapsulating film is unnecessary on the electronic components, because condensation on these components is avoided.

摘要： In a method of labeling housings of electronic assemblies, and especially electronic assemblies used in motor vehicle systems, at least some of the identifying indicia are applied directly as a deformation on or in the outer surface of a wall of the housing. The identifying indicia can be formed by laser etching of the housing surface, stamping of the housing surface, or forming the identifying indicia directly in the injection or casting mold used for molding the housing. The security and reliability of the labeling is improved because the identifying indicia cannot become detached from the housing as in the case when all of the identifying indicia are provided on a separate label plate or sticker. Additional identifying indicia, such as an optically scannable bar code, are printed on an adhesive label including a peel-off strip, and the adhesive label is affixed onto the outer surface of the housing.

摘要： Previously in a bus system, voltage signals were transmitted from the central unit to the modules, which could reply thereto by variation of the current input. A disadvantage thereby is the relatively high susceptibility to interference of the current input, which itself already must be kept relatively small due to the energy consumption, as well as the correspondingly high effort and expense for an error-free recognition of the signals transmitted from the modules in the central unit. It is now suggested, that the modules also answer to the central unit by means of voltage signals superposed on the direct supply voltage, whereby for the time duration of the signal transmission by the modules, the central unit provides the direct supply voltage to the bus line over a resistor, so that the voltage signal of the module can be detected in the central unit on the bus line on the side of the resistor facing away from the direct supply voltage. A preferred application for bus systems in motor vehicles, especially for a sensor data bus, is provided.
