Abstract: A method for occupant protection in a vehicle, a vehicle occupant protection system, a vehicle and a computer readable medium. The vehicle comprising at least one seat for accommodating an occupant, wherein the seat is slidably connected with the vehicle by a connection mechanism, and wherein the seat is lockable in a defined seating position by a locking mechanism, to prevent sliding in the connection mechanism when locked and to allow sliding when unlocked, the method comprising determining an imminent or ongoing vehicle crash; determining a seating position; upon the determination of the seat being an in a rearward seating position and the occurrence of an imminent or ongoing vehicle crash; unlocking the locking mechanism to allow the sliding of the seat from the rearward seating position towards a conventional driving seating position.

Abstract: A motor vehicle with at least one first seat (10) and at least one second seat (12) is described. The second seat (12) is located rear of the first seat (10) and the first seat has one position of operation in which it faces the second seat (12). An air-bag module with an inflatable airbag device (20) being positioned between the first seat (10) and the second seat (12) when in its fully deployed state is provided. Said inflatable airbag device (20) has a first impact surface (22) pointing towards the first seat (10), a second impact surface (24) pointing towards the sec- and seat (12), a main support surface (26) adjacent to or abutting a structural element of the vehicle, and a connecting surface (28) remote from the support surface (26) and extending between the impact surfaces (22, 24). Especially in order to improve the deployment behaviour, the connecting surface (28) is at least partially concave, such that a recess (R) is formed.

Abstract: A method and a device for a motor vehicle of adapting safety mechanisms of a vehicle safety system. The method includes acquiring (s101) data to create a representation (113) of a current vehicle surrounding (110), comparing (s102) the created representation to pre-stored representations of vehicle surroundings, with a risk assessment measure (R) associated with it which stipulates whether to trigger the safety mechanism of the vehicle safety system. If there is correspondence between the created representation and one of the pre-stored representations; detecting (s103) a vehicle behavior associated with the current surrounding, and determining (s104), whether to adjust triggering of the safety mechanism associated with the at least one risk assessment measure of the pre-stored representation of the current vehicle surrounding for which there is a match with the created representation.

Abstract: A connecting device arranged in a motor vehicle releasably connects a structural member of the vehicle to the vehicle chassis and includes a bolt joint system. The connecting device further includes a pyrotechnical charge and an igniter. The igniter detonates the pyrotechnical charge upon receipt of an ignition signal. The pyrotechnical charge is located near the bolt joint system such that, upon detonation, it destroys the connecting function of the bolt joint system and thereby releases the structural member from the chassis.

Abstract: A pedestrian-protecting air bag arrangement is disclosed for a motor vehicle having a bonnet pivoted at a forward end for pivoting upwardly and forwardly. The arrangement comprises an air bag located beneath the bonnet adjacent a rear end thereof, and designed, in its deployed state, to extend across the width of the vehicle windscreen and upwardly at least partially over the windscreen, the air bag comprising a central region and lateral wings on either side of the central region.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a connecting device (8) arranged in a motor vehicle (1) for releasably connecting a structural member (2) of the vehicle (1) to the vehicle chassis (3), said connecting device (8) comprising a bolt joint system (9). The connecting device (8) further comprises a pyrotechnical charge (23) and an igniter (23), said igniter (23) being adapted to, when receiving an ignition signal, bring said pyrotechnical charge (23) to detonate, said pyrotechnical charge (23) being located near the bolt joint system (9) such that it, upon detonation, destroys the connecting function of the bolt joint system (9), for releasing said structural member (2) from the chassis (3).

Abstract: Hollow-charge shell and antitank weapon for said shell, the shell being provided with an adjustable safety device that is automatically adjusted from a safety position to an armed position at the discharge of the shell, bringing a blasting cap contained in said safety device to its initiation position, wherein blocking means will give two alternative armed positions, one giving a symmetrical initiation of the hollow-explosive charge and a narrow explosive beam and the other giving an unsymmetrical initiation of the hollow-explosive charge and thus a broader explosive beam.
