摘要： A supplemental impact protection system for an automotive vehicle includes an external energy management structure having a first position for normal vehicle operation and a second position for deployment during an impact event. A mounting system allows selective positioning of the energy management structure in either the first or second position, as determined by a controller which assesses an impact potential of the vehicle and operates the mounting system to move the energy management structure to the second, or deployed, position in the event that the assessed impact potential satisfies a predetermined threshold.

摘要： The present invention provides a vehicle airbag assembly and method for deployment. An inflator is connected to an airbag wherein the inflator generates gases that cause inflation of the airbag. A housing substantially encloses the airbag and the inflator. The housing includes a vent hole for venting gases. An airbag tether is included having at least a first and a second end, wherein the first end is attached to the airbag and the second end is attached to a venting member. The venting member, being configured to cover the vent hole, is moveable with respect to the housing. During a first airbag deployment stage, the venting member is forced away from the vent hole as the inflator generates gases. An actuator releases the second end of the airbag tether from the venting member during a second airbag deployment stage for the passage of gases through the vent hole.

摘要： A system and method for regulating the deployment of an airbag inflator in response to an out-of-position occupant is provided. An airbag tether is operatively associated with a tether position sensor which is itself operatively associated with a restraints control module (RCM) through an interface. Upon normal in-position deployment, the primary surface of the airbag cushion deploys car-rearward. In this event the tether acts on the tether position sensor at a normal time. If the airbag cushion contacts an out-of-position occupant, the expansion of the airbag cushion will be slowed and the tether will act on the tether position sensor at a later time. The resistor element signals the RCM of the slowed airbag expansion and, with this information, the RCM may decide to modify the deployment of the airbag by adjusting the inflator's second stage deployment time delay. The decision criteria for the deployment of the second inflator are thus time-based.

摘要： A system for protecting the digital rights of content owners allows digital media to be delivered to only those media rendering client devices that have been approved for the media content. Before delivering requested media, the media service provider may determine whether the media rendering client device that requested the media is the type of device that is authorized to receive the request media. If it is, the media service provider may transmit the media to a middleman server over a network (such as the Internet). A middleman server may then serve the media to the client device over a local network. By allowing the media content to be distributed to approved devices only, the media service provider can prevent a user from using the media in a way that is not authorized by the content owner.
