Patent GB-2333071-A (GB)
Title: Elongate side impact airbag
Inventor: GRAHAM RAYMOND
IPC: B60R21/231
Filed: 1998-01-13
Abstract: A safety arrangement for use in a motor vehicle comprises an elongate element(12) having anchor plates(15,24) at opposed ends. The anchor plates are to be connected to opposite sides of the door or window opening in a vehicle. In the event that an accident occurs gas is supplied to a bladder(25) located within a pocket(17) formed in the central region(16) of the elongate element. The diameter of the central portion(16) of the elongate element thus increases which effectively shortens the length of the elongate element. The central portion(16) of the elongate element thus becomes a rigid element which can extend, for example, across a door or window opening in a motor vehicle. Straps(13,22) extend from the central region(16) to the anchor plates(15,24), thus minimising the risk of the inflatable part of the central region being punctured by stitching or the like.

Patent GB-2333368-A (GB)
Title: Monitoring of a NOx storage catalyst during operation of an internal combustion engine
Inventor: SCHNAIBEL EBERHARD
IPC: F02D45/00
Filed: 1998-12-24
Abstract: A catalytic converter which is capable of storing nitrogen oxides, and which is located in internal combustion engine exhaust gas with a gas sensor downstream of the converter, is monitored. The exhaust gas is influenced in a manner which increases components which have a reducing effect, and the time delay from the commencement of the influence to a change in the sensor signal is monitored as a measure of the NOx storage capacity of the catalytic converter. The influencing may be by changing the exhaust gas mixture from lean to rich, or may involve addition of a reducing agent. An exhaust gas sensor upstream of the catalytic converter may detect the commencement of the influence, and, when reducing agent is added, the amount added may be determined from the delay. The sensors may detect oxygen.
