    Abstract: Provided herein are approaches for detecting movement of a seatbelt sensor. In some approaches, a detector includes a sensor housing coupled to a plate of a vehicle restraint system, and a sensor disposed within the sensor housing, wherein the sensor is operable to sense a position of a magnet in proximity to the sensor. The detector further includes a magnetic field accumulator (e.g., a pole-piece) coupled to the sensor, wherein the magnet and the magnetic field accumulator move relative to one another, and wherein the sensor receives an indication of a magnetic field accumulated by the magnetic field accumulator as the magnet and the magnetic field accumulator move relative to one another. A change in the magnetic field distribution correlates to a change in position of the plate, to which the magnet is coupled.

  • Communication method and apparatus
    Patent number: 9992688
    Abstract: According to a communication method and a base station that are provided in embodiments of the present invention, the base station transmits a broad beam that covers a sector of the base station and narrow beams whose coverage areas completely fall within a coverage area of the broad beam, which implements that under a premise that a coverage area of the sector of the base station maintains unchanged by using the broad beam, enhanced coverage of the sector is further achieved by using the narrow beams, thereby improving spectral efficiency. In the solutions, a sector coverage area of the broad beam transmitted by the base station still maintains unchanged, and therefore, a coverage relationship between sectors is not affected. In addition, neither an additional site backhaul resource nor additional standardization support is required in the solutions.

  • Method for growing a silicon single crystal while suppressing a generation of slip dislocations in a tail portion
    Patent number: 9988736
    Abstract: A method for growing a silicon single crystal includes determining a diameter to give the maximum value of a ratio of an equivalent stress and a critical resolved shear stress in a tail portion on the occasion of the gradual cooling of the silicon single crystal in an after-heating step, in advance; wherein, the tail portion is grown in the tail forming step under a condition that an interstitial oxygen concentration at a position of the determined diameter is 8.8×1017 atoms/cm3 (ASTM '79) or more. This method for growing a silicon single crystal by a CZ method can efficiently grow a heavy weight and large-diameter silicon single crystal while suppressing a generation of slip dislocations in the tail portion of the silicon single crystal in the after-heating step to gradually cool the crystal after finishing the tail forming step.
