  • Patent number: 11370367
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame. The vehicle is an open-frame vehicle. The frame includes an A-pillar, a B-pillar, and a roof siderail. The roof siderail extends between the A-pillar and the B-pillar. An A-pillar trim member is coupled to the A-pillar and includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion defines an aperture that receives the second portion. A B-pillar trim member is coupled to the B-pillar. A roof siderail trim member is coupled to the roof siderail and extends between the A-pillar trim member and the B-pillar trim member. An inflatable member is positioned between the frame and at least two of the A-pillar trim member, the B-pillar trim member, and the roof siderail trim member when the inflatable member is in a deflated state. An inflated state of the inflatable member separates the second portion of the A-pillar trim member from the aperture of the A-pillar trim member.

  • Publication number: 20090237305
    Abstract: The present invention, a wireless location and attitude detector for a sensor, is intended to determine and record the position and attitude of a sensor being used to test a material. It uses radio frequency identification transponders attached to a rigid object, to which the sensor is also attached. These radio frequency identification transponders respond to radio frequency identification transceivers that measure the time of response, giving distance data for each radio frequency identification transponder. This data is calculated to establish the position and attitude of the sensor relative to the radio frequency identification transceivers. This recorded data is used by a computer to draw a contoured image of the material, as the sensor is being dragged across the material by hand. This material contour image can be combined with data from the sensor itself for the purpose of drawing an image of a tested material that shows characteristics of the material on the image.
