Title: Safety seat adjusting mechanism
Inventor: CUI ZONG-WANG
IPC: B60N2/28
Filed: 2014-07-17
Abstract: A safety seat adjusting mechanism includes a frame 310 fixed to a base of a safety seat (100, figure 1), an operating member 320, two sliding rods 330 slidably disposed at two sides of the frame, two linkage rods 360 disposed with tips opposite to each other, a linkage unit 370 connected to one end of each linkage rod, and two lock members 350 connected to the two linkage rods respectively. An end of each sliding rod is fixed to an adjusting rod 340 of the safety seat. A seat fixing device 200, such as an isofix connector, is connected to the adjusting rod. Lock holes (331, figure 4) are formed on the two sliding rods respectively. The other end of at least one of the two linkage rods is connected to the operating member. Each lock member is used for selectively engaging with one of the corresponding lock holes. When the operating member is operated, the two lock members are disengaged from the lock holes synchronously, thus allowing both sliding rods to be moved and thus the seat fixing devices to be moved into and out of their operating positions.

IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2015-03-20
Abstract: A traffic density sensitivity selector comprising; a means for collecting data (306, fig 3) relating to one or more objects proximate to a first vehicle 101, the one or more objects including a second vehicle 102. The collected data is used to generate a virtual map (322, fig 3) of the one or more objects including the second vehicle 102. A determination is then made as to whether the second vehicle 102 is likely to pass within a predetermined distance of the first vehicle, thereby identifying a threat (324, fig 3) of a collision. An action, such as actuating or altering a vehicles light, siren, horn (328, fig 3), speed or direction of travel, is initiated based on the threat. The predetermined distance is determined by comparing a current traffic density (314, fig3) to a predetermined traffic density threshold.

Title: System for controlling operating of engine
Inventor: OLAF BERGER
IPC: F02M21/02
Filed: 2016-06-09
Abstract: A system for controlling an engine, eg a gas-fuelled engine, having a charge supply pipe 104, 106 leading to a cylinder 108-112, comprises a light emitter 202, eg a laser, and an analyser coupled to the charge supply line. The analyser receives a light beam 206 from the emitter 202, eg via a reflector 208, and determines the difference between an attribute parameter, eg frequency, wavelength or intensity, of the emitted and received light beams due to absorption of light by the air/fuel mixture. A control module assesses whether the determined difference is greater than a threshold value and, if so, controls ignition of charge in a cylinder, actuation of gas exchange valve(s) or pressure of charge being supplied to the engine. The charge may be an air/fuel mixture; alternatively, the charge may be air, fuel being added via gas admission valve(s) 222. Multiple detection modules (302, fig.3), each comprising an emitter (304), an analyzer (308) and, optionally, a mirror (306), may be provided in the respective branches 106 of an inlet manifold 104.
