  • Passenger restraint system for a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 6970778
    Abstract: The invention relates to a passenger restraint system that contains two electronic acceleration sensors that are arranged separately from each other and that are coupled with a control device that triggers the restraint system in the event of a collision of the vehicle. The inventive system is further characterized in that the restraint system is only triggered if the sum of the integrated acceleration signals weighted with a weighting coefficient exceeds a defined minimum sum.

  • Computer unit for a control device in a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 6076038
    Abstract: The computing unit generates an output signal for controlling a function of the motor vehicle. The processing specification that is stored in a ROM of the computing unit, and with which, in particular, a logic function is described, can be changed even after the ROM mask has been created. Instead of the logic function, a truth table which represents the logic function is stored in an EPROM of the computing unit. A processing specification is stored in the ROM with which calculated variables are compared with the truth table.
