Airbag assembly
An assembly includes a seatback. The assembly includes an airbag supported by the seatback and inflatable to an inflated position seat-forward of the seatback. The airbag includes a first tether fixed to the seatback and the airbag. The airbag includes a retractor. The airbag includes a second tether connected to and slidable along the first tether. The second tether is operatively coupled to the retractor.
Passenger protection apparatus
A passenger protection apparatus for a vehicle includes: an inflator configured to generate gas upon receiving a predetermined actuating signal; and an airbag body folded and stored in an unactuated condition, and configured to deploy by supplying the gas from the inflator to the airbag body. The airbag body includes a predetermined area on which adhesive is applied. After deployment of the airbag body, the predetermined area adheres to an adherend to hold a passenger, and the airbag body is torn off by a predetermined motion.
Dynamic Safe Storage of Vehicle Content
Systems and methods are provided for dynamically protecting transportable articles in vehicles. A system for dynamically protecting a transportable article in a vehicle may include one or more processors and non-volatile memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to access sensed data representative of at least one of a characteristic or a trait of a transportable article in a vehicle, determine based on the data the at least one of the characteristic or the trait of the transportable article, select one or more article protection components based on the determined at least one of the characteristic or the trait of the transportable article, and deploy the selected one or more article protection components to protect the transportable article.
Dynamic safe storage of vehicle content
A system and method are provided for dynamically protecting one or more transportable articles in a vehicle. The system may include an interior data collection component configured to collect transportable article data representing one or more transportable articles in the vehicle, a plurality of article protections components configured to protect the one or more transportable articles when deployed, and one or more processors configured to determine, by processing the transportable data, one or more characteristic(s) and/or trait(s) of the one or more transportable articles; select a subset of the plurality of article protection components to deploy based on the one or more characteristic(s) and/or trait(s) of the one or more transportable articles; and deploy the selected subset of the plurality of article protection components to protect the one or more transportable articles.
ADAPTIVE MULTI-FORCE SAFETY SYSTEM (ADMUS)
An adaptive safety on-board vehicle multi-force restraint system provides mitigation of negative consequences of imminent crash of contemporary, self-driving, or autonomous vehicle. The adaptive safety multi-force restraint system applies different forces to the driver and passenger bodies of different weight categories by employing an occupant's original weight, accurately measured by innovative weighing KEF method and technology at the beginning of a trip by the TRIBS method. The occupant's original weight is eventually modified during the trip according to the current values of the morphological and driving factors. The present invention provides an accurate timing adjustment of different parts of the safety system to prevent occupants of the self-driving or autonomous vehicle from fatalities and injuries in case of collision on the road by extending a current Passenger Classification System, creating a Driver Classification System, and more accurately controlling the force applied to lighter weighing people and youngsters. During a trip, a controlling unit continuously adjusts the needed access in case of crash for the part of gas to move from restraint source by the modified signal of original weight of the occupant and current morphological and the car trip situation parameters. A structure of a mixed safety restraint ADMUS-M system with a low risk for small children and a method of people accurate weight in a vehicle monitoring in case of the metabolism problems and kidney disorders without their hospitalization are provided.
Vehicle airbag
An airbag assembly includes a housing and an airbag supported by the housing. A sheet includes a first end fixed relative to the housing and a second end. A reinforcement is elongated on the sheet. The sheet is deployable below the airbag with the second end free from the airbag.
Vehicle dashboard safety features
A vehicle includes: a dashboard with load sensors and airbag(s), a seat, processor(s) configured to: (a) detect load on the dashboard, (b) generate a display based on (a), (c) count time elapsed since (b), (d) activate a vibrating motor of the seat based on (a) and (c), (e) count time elapsed since (d), (f) disable the airbag(s) based on (a) and (e).
VEHICLE AIRBAG
