  • Publication number: 20140183386
    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a sensor device, and a method of operating thereof. The sensor device comprises a processing unit being operatively connected to a sensor unit comprising a sensor characterized by adaptable sampling frequency. The sensor being configured to periodically sample, in a first sampling frequency, a physical quantity and generate a signal indicative of a detected physical quantity. The processing unit is configured to receive the signal and determine a detected frequency of the signal and to adapt the first sampling frequency to the detected frequency. The adapting comprising calculating a difference between the first sampling frequency and the detected frequency and instructing the sensor to increase the first frequency, if the difference is less than a first predefined value; and to decrease the first frequency, if the difference is less than a second predefined value.

  • Patent number: 8091465
    Abstract: According to the present invention there is provided an armor array for protecting a body to be protected from an incoming projectile having an anticipated impact direction. The armor array is constituted by at least a first and a second armor cassette, each comprising a top base plate and a bottom base plate sandwiching therebetween an expandable layer. The first and second armor cassettes are spaced apart by an intermediate depressible panel having a top and a bottom face, such that the bottom base plate of the first armor cassette faces the top face of the intermediate depressible panel and the top base plate of the second cassette faces the bottom face of the intermediate depressible panel. The armor array is constructed such that upon expansion of the expandable layer, caused by the impact of the incoming projectile, at least one of the bottom base plate of the first armor cassette and the top base plate of the second armor cassette is urged towards the intermediate depressible panel and depresses it.

  • Patent number: 7533924
    Abstract: An energy absorbing device for reducing acceleration transmitted to a seated occupant in a vehicle as a result of a high energy impact. The device comprises a first energy absorbing mechanism having a first dimension in the impact direction and capable of undergoing predetermined elastic deformation in that direction; and a second energy absorbing mechanism having a second dimension in the impact direction, which is smaller than the first dimension by a distance corresponding to that elastic deformation. The second mechanism is loaded with the impact force after the first mechanism has undergone elastic deformation; the second mechanism comprises a material capable of progressive deformation. The device may comprise a restriction mechanism connecting the two plates, adapted to restrict displacement of the first plate relative to the second plate in any direction different from the impact direction.
