摘要： In certain embodiments, a thermoelectric heat pump includes a heat transfer region having an array of thermoelectric modules, a waste channel in substantial thermal communication with a high temperature portion of the heat transfer region, and a main channel in substantial thermal communication with a low temperature portion of the heat transfer region. An enclosure wall provides a barrier between fluid in the waste channel and fluid in the main channel throughout the interior of the thermoelectric heat pump. In some embodiments, the waste fluid channel and the main fluid channel are positioned and shaped such that differences in temperature between fluids disposed near opposite sides of the enclosure wall are substantially decreased or minimized at corresponding positions along the channels.

摘要： A method and apparatus is disclosed for providing a passenger restraint actuation signal for use in an actuatable passenger restraint system in a vehicle is provided. The method comprises a sensor for providing a time varying electric signal proportional to vehicle deceleration. A crash energy is determined and compared against a predetermined limit. If the determined crash energy equals or exceeds the predetermined limit, a passenger restraint actuation signal is provided.

摘要： A gas damped acceleration switch for use as a vehicle crash-sensing device. A mass is supported for movement along an axis against a spring, the mass actuating a switch only after moving a predetermined distance against the spring by an accelerating force. A gas damping system makes the device sensitive to the duration as well as the magnitude of the velocity change. Damping is provided by a plate movable with the mass having surfaces that are perpendicular to the axis of motion. The plate is normally pressed against a mating surface to exclude air. A seal is formed between the mating surfaces around the periphery so that a partial vacuum is formed as the mass moves the surfaces apart. When the surfaces move apart a predetermined distance, the seal is broken and the pressure equalizes. However, the moving plate still produces viscous damping as a function of velocity as it continues to be moved through the air by acceleration of the mass against the spring.

摘要： A solenoid in which the coil is positioned inside a housing of magnetic material. The housing has a tubular projection forming a recess in the inside of the end wall along the axis of the coil, one end of the plunger projecting beyond the coil into the recess when the plunger is in the energized position. The portion of the plunger that extends into the recess is tapered to obtain a constant force-displacement characteristic for the full travel of the plunger.
