Abstract: Disclosed herein is an occupant safety restraint system that dampens forces applied to an occupant by belts used for restraining the occupant in the occupant safety restraint system. Energy dampening structures may be disposed in either a seat back portion of an occupant safety restraint system or a seat bottom portion of an occupant safety restraint system (or both) through which shoulder and/or hip belts pass. The energy dampening structures may include deformation members that deform when restraining belts (i.e., shoulder and/or hip belts) contact the deformation members during vehicle collisions or rapid deceleration or acceleration. Deformation of the deformation members reduces or dampens energy in the restraining belts applied to occupants of the occupant safety restraint systems.

Abstract: Methods and materials to fabricate laminated devices are disclosed, particularly the laminates where the interlayer is deposited by 3d printing (or also called additive manufacturing process). In particular, emphasis is placed on the fabrication of electrooptical devices, including electrochromic, thermochromic and liquid crystal devices. In the electrochromic devices at least the electrolytic interlayer or optionally some of the other layers are deposited by this process, and for the other two the interlayer contains thermochromic and the liquid crystalline material respectively. In one embodiment printing is used to form both an interlayer and a sealant located at the perimeter of the interlayer. Laminated glass and plastic objects using this invention have many applications including their use in windows for building and transportation.

Abstract: A GNSS hostile environment simulator for accurate real-time processor & hardware in the loop (PHIL) simulations of a multiple antenna GNSSR/AJ system models antenna effects over the entire signal bandwidth allowing direct injection of the RF into the GNSSR. Computational efficiency is achieved by applying the antenna patterns in the frequency domain. To preserve the integrity of the antenna signals, the transmitter signals are generated over an extended period to push any residual ringing outside the update window. Efficiency is further enhanced by using a combination of single-precision and double-precision floating-point units to generate the samples of the transmitter signals with single-precision floating-point. All subsequent calculations are then computed in single-precision.
