  • Patent number: 11760298
    Abstract: An apparatus for helping to protect an occupant of a vehicle includes a curtain airbag (CAB) having a packaged condition in which the CAB is rolled and/or folded to be installed along a roof rail in a vehicle. The CAB is configured to be inflated and deployed along a side structure of the vehicle structure. The apparatus includes an anti-twist structure for being positioned within the rolls and/or folds to inhibit relative twisting of the packaged CAB within the rolls and/or folds. The apparatus includes a CAB mount for extending about and supporting the packaged CAB in the vehicle. The CAB mount cooperates with the anti-twist structure to fix the position and orientation of the anti-twist structure, and thus the packaged CAB, relative to the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11260821
    Abstract: An apparatus for helping to protect an occupant of a vehicle includes a curtain airbag inflatable from a stored condition to a deployed condition in which the curtain airbag is positioned between a side structure of the vehicle and the vehicle occupant. The curtain airbag comprises a mounting tab comprising overlying layers of airbag material that define a pocket and through each of which a mounting tab aperture extends. A bracket comprises a plate with a bracket aperture extending therethrough. The bracket is positioned in the pocket so that the bracket aperture is aligned with the mounting tab apertures. A fastener has a portion extending though the mounting tab apertures and the bracket aperture. The fastener blocks the bracket from removal from the pocket.

  • Patent number: 10755550
    Abstract: The present invention is directed at monitoring the house environment and the human presence inside of it by monitoring ambient conditions and sensing movement throughout the building, and monitoring human body temperature and life presence. The invention comprises both CO2, CO and temperature sensors. An ultrawideband radar and infrared sensor will be used in combination to detect motion and body temperature. The invention operates in a master-slave combination were multiple units are installed in different areas of building. One unit serves as the main unit and will control communications and data transmission to the user while the slave units will send their data to the main unit.
