    Abstract: A universal, compartment-wide system identifies the presence and position of occupants of a multi-place vehicle by utilizing the occupants to conduct and radiate place-specific radio frequency signals that are received at various locations in the passenger compartment. The place-specific radio frequency signals are developed by low power transmitters disposed in the various seat/place locations, and a receiver disposed at a central location that is remote from the transmitters receives and decodes the signals radiated by the occupants to determine the number and location of the occupants. Additional receivers may be installed in specified regions to detect occupant intrusion into such regions, and in various control panels to assess driver distraction and to tailor the functional content and capability depending on whether a driver or non-driver is interacting with the control panel.

    Abstract: A fluid-filled seat bladder assembly (24) includes multiple capacitive sensing elements (110, 112) for detecting variation in bladder deformation due to occupant weight. The bladder (30) is defined by upper and lower elastomeric sheets (30a, 30b) that are peripherally sealed by radio frequency welding, and the capacitive sensors (110, 112) are defined by metalized films (50, 52-66/70­ 72) adjoining the upper and lower elastomeric sheets (30a, 30b). The bladder fluid separating the upper and lower metalized films acts as a dielectric material, and the capacitance or electric field coupling of each sensor increases when the separation between the respective upper and lower films decreases due occupant seat weight. The cumulative change in capacitance or electric field coupling reflects the total seated weight, and the individual capacitance or electric field coupling changes provide a profile of the pressure distribution across the seat for improved occupant classification. The metalized films may be located exterior of the bladder (30), or may be are formed on interior surfaces of the upper and lower elastomeric bladder sheets (30a, 30b).
