Abstract: The present invention relates to a cooling system, the cooling system having a nozzle which receives coolant from a reservoir and which faces a substrate. The nozzle may be opened and closed by a thermally responsive valve allowing the coolant to be automatically metered to the substrate, thus controlling the spatial distribution of the coolant that is applied to the substrate. This approach allows hotter areas of the substrate to receive more coolant, thus eliminating nonuniformities in the thermal profile of the substrate.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring the weight of an occupant of a seat is described. The weight of the occupant can be determined by measuring the deflection of a portion of the seat. This may be accomplished through the use of a magnet and Hall-effect sensor, wherein deflection of a portion of the seat may cause a change in the distance between the magnet and the Hall-effect sensor. This change in distance may result in a change in intensity measured by the sensor, which can then be correlated to the weight of the occupant. Particular application may be made to measuring the weight of an occupant of an automobile, for purposes such as safety and ergonomics, and more readily to assist in the development of improved airbag deployment strategies.
