| 20090008915 | Motor vehicle comprising an occupant restraint device - A motor vehicle with an occupant restraint device, including a control device which produces a triggering signal when a predefined hazard signal is generated as a function of signals of a safety sensor system, and, accordingly, the occupant restraint vehicle acts on a vehicle occupant by at least one impact cushion. The control device generates the hazard signal at least as a function of vehicle acceleration signals and a belt state signal representing the activation or deactivation of a seat belt, deactivating the occupant restraint device at least for a certain period of time and/or activating the occupant restraint device at reduced power if the seat belt is identified as having been deactivated and vehicle acceleration signals are assigned to a critical forward displacement of the occupant if the seat belt is deactivated. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090014991 | Gunner Retraction System and Apparatus - A rollover protection system for protecting exposed gunners during ground vehicle rollovers. The system retracts the gunner into the vehicle thereby removing him/her from physical danger. The system apparatus comprises a safety harness for the gunner with a retraction mechanism that is activated upon vehicle rollover. The safety harness is attached by elastic runners to pre-loaded springs which are held in a tension mode by clamps. The springs are placed in enclosed containers mounted to the bay-floor of the vehicle. The spring clamps are released by a computer in response to a gyroscopic sensor. Shock-absorbing inflatable cushions attached to the floor under the gunner are activated to cushion the retraction. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090236835 | AIRBAG WITH STOP LEAK MATERIAL - An inflatable cushion assembly for deployment in a vehicle. The assembly has an inflator, an inflatable cushion, and particles of a stop leak material. Upon deployment, the stop leak material becomes temporarily dispersed by and suspended in inflation gas such that the cushion is rendered less porous to inflation gas. | 09-24-2009 |

| 20120326422 | SENSORS FOR DETECTING RAPID DECELERATION/ACCELERATION EVENTS - Sensors for detecting rapid deceleration/acceleration events are disclosed herein. A sensor configured in accordance with one embodiment of the disclosure includes a magnetically operable device proximate to a magnet. The sensor also includes a biasing member operably coupled to a magnetic shield. The biasing member controls the movement of the magnetic shield between a first position that shields the magnetically operable device from the magnet, and a second position that exposes the magnetically operable device to the magnet. In a deceleration/acceleration event, the magnetic shield overcomes the biasing member and moves from the first position to the second position, thereby causing the magnetically operable device to be exposed to the magnet. | 12-27-2012 |
| 20130062867 | INTERIOR TRIM PART - An interior trim part for a bodywork component has a lighting system with a first component that generates a light signal and a second component that outputs the light signal toward the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. The bodywork component has a moveable region ( | 03-14-2013 |
| 20140117651 | VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD - A vehicle control device and a vehicle control method of an embodiment of the present invention automatically bring a vehicle to a halt by operating a brake ( | 05-01-2014 |
| 20160137153 | AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT METHOD - An airbag deployment method for a vehicle including a dual-stage inflator, the method including sensing a vehicle collision; sensing whether a passenger seated in a seat of the vehicle is a child or an adult; and deploying an airbag using the inflator depending on the sensed type of passenger. The inflator includes a low-pressure first chamber and a high-pressure second chamber. If the sensed passenger is a child, the low-pressure first chamber is initially activated. If the sensed passenger is an adult, the high-pressure second chamber is initially activated. | 05-19-2016 |
