Patent number: 8696019Abstract: A knee airbag module for restraining an occupant seated in the interior compartment of a vehicle. The module includes an inflatable airbag cushion configured to deploy to a location forward of the legs of the seated occupant, and an inflator to supply inflation gas for inflating the cushion. The module further includes a housing configured to couple to the vehicle and a cover connected to the housing. The housing includes a base, a forward side wall and a rearward side wall, which together with the cover form a compartment for housing the airbag cushion prior to deployment, as well as the inflator. A portion of the rearward side wall is inclined to guide the deploying airbag cushion in an oblique direction when breaching the housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2011Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: TK Holdings Inc.Inventors: Spencer W. Chavez, Greg D. Kitts, John P. Ruterbusch, Michael J. Lange

Patent number: 7390013Abstract: An airbag module includes a cover having an I-shaped tear line. The I-shaped tear line has a first tear seam parallel to and spaced apart from a second tear seam. A third tear seam is continuous with and perpendicular to the first tear seam and the second tear seam. When an airbag is inflated the tear line separates and the airbag deploys there through.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2005Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignee: TK Holdings Inc.Inventors: Spencer W. Chavez, Michael J. Lange

Patent number: 6995445Abstract: The present invention is directed to organic photosensitive optoelectronic devices and methods of use for determining the position of a light source. Provided is an organic position sensitive detector (OPSD) comprising: a first electrode, which is resistive and may be either an anode or a cathode; a first contact in electrical contact with the first electrode; a second contact in electrical contact with the first electrode; a second electrode disposed near the first electrode; a donor semiconductive organic layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and an acceptor semiconductive organic layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and adjacent to the donor semiconductive organic layer. A hetero-junction is located between the donor layer and the acceptor layer, and at least one of the donor layer and the acceptor layer is light absorbing.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2003Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: The Trustees of Princeton UniversityInventors: Stephen R. Forrest, Barry P. Rand, Michael J. Lange

Patent number: 6005266Abstract: A low leakage current monolithic InGaAs InP discrete device is provided for a focal plane array for near-infrared imaging. The array consists of a plurality of InGaAs p-i-n diodes for photodetectors, with each being integrated on a common substrate with an Inp junction field effect transistor (JFET) as a switching element for each pixel. In order to minimize the drain and gate leakage to achieve high-detection sensitivity, a p-encapsulation of an n-drained of each JFET is employed.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1997Date of Patent: December 21, 1999Assignee: The Trustees of Princeton UniversityInventors: Stephen Ross Forrest, Marshall J. Cohen, Michael J. Lange, Dong-Su Kim
