Abstract: A method and system for collision avoidance that goes beyond automatic steering and braking. A trained artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) system is used to detect an impending impact event that exceeds a predetermined severity threshold based on received sensor and vehicle operational data. Upon detecting such an impending impact event, vehicle systems are deployed to avoid or lessen the severity of the impending impact event. These vehicle systems include automatic steering and braking, and automatic tire flattening and vehicle anchor deployment which are intended to stop or slow the vehicle before impact.

Abstract: Graphical user interfaces for use with extracorporeal blood treatment systems may include a plurality of mini settings cards corresponding to a plurality of settings cards. The mini settings cards may display one or more user-interactable settings, and may be selected to display the corresponding settings card. Further, each settings card may be accessed in other ways to selection of mini settings card such as, for example, by selection of a process feature graphical element corresponding the settings card.

Abstract: There is provided mechanisms for transmission of single-port reference signal resources. A method is performed by a network node. The method comprises transmitting, as part of performing a beam selection procedure with a user equipment, two single-port reference signal resources. A first of the two single-port reference signal resources is transmitted over a first polarization. A second of the two single-port reference signal resources is transmitted over a second polarization. The two single-port reference signal resources are time-wise overlapping when transmitted.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling a time of activation of a restraint system in a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a seat belt associated to a seat, the restraint system being a reversible restraint system, the method comprising the steps of a) determining a current length (L) of pulled out seat belt, b) detecting a collision or an imminent collision involving the vehicle, c) predicting a time (T0) when the collision is predicted to affect a user of the seat belt, d) activating the reversible restraint system a selectable time period (?1) before the time (T0) when the collision is predicted to affect the user of the seat belt, wherein a length of the selectable time period (?1) is a function of the determined current length (L) of pulled out seat belt. The disclosure further relates to a safety arrangement of a vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for vehicle occupant protection in large animal collisions. Objects forward of the host vehicle are monitored using at least one forward looking remote sensor and object signals output. A velocity of the host vehicle is determined and velocity signals output. The object signals and the velocity signals are processed to determine whether the host vehicle unavoidably will suffer a collision with a large animal while traveling at or above a threshold velocity and a collision signal is output. Operation of a motor operated height adjustment device, an inclination adjustment device and/or a longitudinal position adjustment device of a vehicle seat is triggered to move a seat cushion and a backrest thereof away from a leading edge of a roof of the host vehicle in response to the collision signal.

Abstract: A method is provided for operation of a safety arrangement in a vehicle. The safety arrangement comprises a seat belt, a seat belt retractor and at least one seat position adjustment arrangement for position adjustment of a seat of the vehicle and/or a portion of the seat. The method comprises a refraction of the seat belt by means of the seat belt retractor with a retraction force, and a pre-crash displacement of the seat and/or the portion of the seat resulting in a displacement force acting on the seat belt. The method further comprises adapting the pre-crash displacement and the refraction of the seat belt to each other by ascertaining that a combined seat belt force comprising the refraction force and the displacement force does not exceed a selectable level. The disclosure further relates to a safety arrangement for a vehicle and a vehicle comprising such a safety arrangement.

Abstract: A safety arrangement for a vehicle. The safety arrangement has a control unit; one or more sensors, a road detection arrangement; and one or more vehicle safety systems. The control unit processes the signals from the sensors and determines whether the vehicle is travelling over rough terrain, entering a ditch-like feature, or is airborne. The control unit will activate one or more of the vehicle safety systems if it is determined that the vehicle is travelling over rough terrain, entering a ditch-like feature, or is airborne. Signals, or derived quantities, from the sensors are compared against a threshold to determine whether to activate a vehicle safety system. A first threshold level is used if the vehicle has not or is not likely to leave the road, and a second threshold level is used if the vehicle has or is likely to leave the road.

Abstract: A method performed by a retraction control system of a vehicle for controlling refraction of a seat belt of a reversible seat belt refractor arrangement for a vehicle occupant is provided. The control system determines fulfillment of an activation condition based on an initiating input derived from a vehicle situation sensing system, which initiating input indicates that the vehicle, at an initiating time instant, is considered likely to be, or is about to become, involved in a hazardous situation and/or uncomfortable dynamic situation. The control system generates an activation signal utilizable for initiation of retraction of the seat belt. If the control system determines absence of fulfillment of a confirming condition within a predetermined confirming time period, and/or if the control system determines fulfillment of an abort condition within a predetermined abort time period, the control system generates a deactivation signal utilizable for aborting the initiation.
