  • Publication number: 20240054030
    Abstract: A user device executes a partner application including a partner application module. The module acquires a first set of events associated with user actions in the partner application. The module reports a first subset of the first set of events to a remote computing system. The module refrains from reporting a second subset to the remote system based on satisfaction of initial event capping conditions that indicate which events should not be reported to the remote system. The module receives updated event capping conditions from the remote system that are different than the initial conditions, acquires a second set of events, and reports a first subset of the second set to the remote system. The module refrains from reporting a second subset of the second set to the remote system based on satisfaction of the updated conditions. The remote system reports the first subsets to a partner device.

  • Patent number: 6786507
    Abstract: A hybrid gas generator comprises a chamber that contains pressurized fluid and that is sealed off by a rupturable membrane, and a pyrotechnical propellant charge that ruptures the membrane when it is ignited. The gas generator further comprises a nozzle wall that is arranged between the propellant charge and the membrane and that has at least one passage opening through which combustion products generated upon ignition of said pyrotechnical propellant charge flow towards the membrane. The passage opening has such a shape and is oriented with respect to the membrane in such a way that, when the membrane is ruptured, there are formed sections of said membrane that remain all connected to an edge of the membrane.

  • Patent number: 6712388
    Abstract: A hybrid gas generator comprises an elongated cylindrical outer housing, and a pressure chamber that is filled with pressurized gas and that is closed off by a membrane provided on an end face of the pressure chamber. The gas generator further comprises a pyrotechnical propellant charge that is provided for opening the membrane and is accommodated in a preferably bushing-shaped propellant charge housing. The propellant charge housing is connected to the outer housing at a location outside of the pressure chamber and a longitudinal axis of the propellant charge housing extends at a right angle to a longitudinal axis of the outer housing. The generator also has an axial outflow opening situated at one axial end of the outer housing. The outer housing has a circumferential wall with a radial insertion opening for introducing the propellant charge housing.

  • Publication number: 20040041383
    Abstract: A hybrid gas generator comprises a cylindrical outer housing having a longitudinal axis, and a pressure chamber which is filled with compressed gas and closed by a membrane. A pyrotechnic charge is provided for opening the membrane, the charge being accommodated in a preferably bush-shaped charge housing, which has a longitudinal axis arranged substantially at right-angles to the longitudinal axis of the outer housing and extends into the latter. There is also provided an outflow opening in the outer housing. Inside the outer housing there is a separate holding body provided for retaining the charge housing. The holding body is fastened to the charge housing and, additionally, to a part of the gas generator which is not destructed in an activated state of the gas generator.
