Inventor: FULTZ WILLIAM
IPC: G06V10/143
Filed: 2000-02-07
Abstract: An improved IR occupant position detection system (10) that
provides accurate and reliable classification and position information
at a speed sufficient to timely inhibit or otherwise control deployment
of occupant restraints. A two-dimensional array (40) of IR emitters
(L) is selectively activated to periodically illuminate two or more
predetermined viewing planes (26, 28, 30) in the vicinity of a
passenger seating area, and the reflected IR energy is detected by a
photo-sensitive receiver (24) and analyzed to detect the presence of an
occupant, to classify the occupant, and to identify and dynamically
track the position of the occupant's head/torso relative to predefined
zones of the passenger compartment. Modulating the intensity of the
emitted IR beams with a known carrier frequency, band-pass filtering
the received signal, and synchronously detecting the filtered signal
distinguishes the reflected IR energy from other signals picked up by
the IR receiver (24). Additionally, a two stage adaptive control
mechanism compensates for the variation in intensity of the reflected
energy with distance between the emitter and the occupant. The
emitter (40) is implemented with orthogonal anode and cathode power
rails with individual IR LED elements (L) placed at each anode-cathode
intersection. Optical dispersion within the package is greatly
reduced by an opaque cover layer (64) that effectively forms a well for
each LED element (L).

Abstract: A recirculation passageway 52 for a turbine engine 10 provides stall
protection in a booster 40 by directing high pressure airflow from a flow path 50
of the booster 40 and into the passageway 52. The high pressure airflow loses
energy and decreases in pressure while traveling through the passageway 52 until
re-entry into the booster 40 flow path 50. The airflow recirculates in the
passageway 52 until the airflow may be steadily discharged through a high
pressure compressor.

Abstract: A memory access circuit includes a memory and a slot for receiving therein a memory card having a controller. Address, CS (chip select) and We (output enable) signals different in active period from one another are supplied to the controller. Due to this, ID data signals are read from the memory. The CPU determines for properness on the read-out ID data signals. Specifically, when the common data contained in the ID data signal exhibits a predetermined value, the ID data signal is determined proper. However, when the common data does not exhibit the predetermined value, the ID data signal is determined improper. The CPU determines as an optimal active period a shortest active period among the active periods that proper ID data signals have been read out.
