Abstract: A structural component for a motor vehicle which is mountable in the front or rear region of the vehicle. The structural component is composed of plastic and is manufactured as a moulded part, and which includes in at least partial regions thereof two or more fabric layers which are overmoulded with a thermoplastic polymer.

Abstract: A system for generating line ratings includes a module for receiving data concerning a power line. The data has location data including geographic locations along the length of the said power line, at least one tension/sag measurement, and at least one physical fact concerning the power line. A module for stores the data concerning said power line and a module receives weather data associated with each of the geographic locations along the length of the power line.

Abstract: A system for supporting and electrically grounding metallic covers for electronic control modules includes a housing having wall portions defining a cavity with an opening, a circuit board located within the cavity, the circuit board having a ground plane formed within the circuit board, the circuit board having a top surface substantially facing the opening and supports for proving structural support for the cover, the supports being located on the top surface of the circuit board. The system shields emissions radiating from the module.

Abstract: An airbag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system comprises a housing and an airbag which is folded up into an airbag pack. The airbag is arranged in the housing and is adapted to be inflated by gas from a pressurized gas source. The housing has an outlet opening that defines an outlet plane and has a predetermined width that is smaller than the largest width of the airbag pack, measured parallel to the outlet plane.

Abstract: Polyurethane foams formed at above atmospheric pressure conditions using methylene diisocyanate or a specific mixture of polyisocyanate and with a major portion of methylene diisocyanate (MDI) with a specific mixture of polyether and graft polyols produces high density viscoelastic foams with improved hand touch (surface smoothness) that better retain viscoelasticity over time. The foam-forming ingredients are mixed together and foamed at controlled pressures in the range 1.05 to 1.5 bar (absolute), preferably 1.1 to 1.3 bar (absolute).

Abstract: An airbag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system comprises a gas generator, an airbag which can be inflated by means of a pressurized gas flow that can be supplied by the gas generator. The airbag module further comprises a housing that has a generator chamber to accommodate the gas generator and an airbag chamber to accommodate the airbag. A deformable dividing wall is provided between the generator chamber and the airbag chamber, the dividing wall having outlet openings and being adapted to be deformed by the pressurized gas flow from a resting state into a working state in which the dividing wall forms a guide channel for the pressurized gas flow flowing out of the gas generator.

Abstract: A knee restraint device for vehicles comprises a base plate and a knee protector part fastened to the base plate. The knee protector part has a load distributor plate with openings and has a covering of plastic. The covering has a rear face facing the load distributor plate and a front face directed in an opposite direction. The covering is provided with pins formed on the rear face and is fastened in a form-fitting manner to the load distributor plate by the pins projecting through the openings in the load distributor plate. The pins have free ends which are shaped such that the free ends project radially outwards and over the openings.

Abstract: Polyurethane foams formed under vacuum (below atmospheric pressure) conditions using a specific mixture of polyisocyanate and with a major portion of methylene diisocyanate (MDI) and a specific mixture of polyether and graft polyols exhibit superb static shock cushioning characteristics (energy absorption) as illustrated by drop curves of deceleration versus static load. The foam-forming ingredients are mixed together and foamed under controlled pressures in the range 0.5 to 0.90 bar (absolute), preferably 0.5 to 0.8 bar (absolute). A major portion of the MDI is 4, 4′ methylene diisocyanate.

Abstract: Polyurethane foams formed under vacuum (below atmospheric pressure) conditions using methylene diisocyanate or a specific mixture of polyisocyanate and with a major portion of methylene diisocyanate (MDI) with a specific mixture of polyether and graft polyols produces cushioning foams with lower density (1.4 to 1.8 pounds per cubic foot) and higher support factor (above 2.4). The foam-forming ingredients are mixed together and foamed under controlled pressures in the range 0.5 to 0.9 bar (absolute), preferably 0.6 to 0.8 bar (absolute). A major portion of the MDI is 4,4′ methylene diisocyanate.

Abstract: A device for monitoring the movement of a person including a homing unit and a base unit. The homing unit includes a device for generating a homing signal and a transmitter for transmitting the homing signal at predetermined intervals. The base unit includes a receiver for receiving the homing signal, a processor for processing the homing signal to determine whether the homing unit is within a predetermined distance from the base unit and generating an alarm signal upon determining the homing unit is at a distance from the base unit greater than the predetermined distance. An alarm is provided on the base unit for alerting a user that the homing unit has moved a distance greater than the predetermined distance from the base unit upon receipt of the alarm signal from the processor. The alarm is at least one of an audible alarm, a visible alarm and a vibratory alarm. At least one of the base unit and homing unit includes a device for adjusting the predetermined distance.
