Abstract: A vehicle crash sensing system and method are provided for sensing a vehicle crash event. The system includes a linear acceleration sensor located on a vehicle for sensing linear acceleration along a first sensing axis and generating a linear acceleration signal. The system has linear crash sensing logic for determining a crash event along the first sensing axis as a function of the sensed linear acceleration. The system also has signal processing circuitry for processing the linear acceleration signal and generating a processed linear acceleration signal. The system has an angular rate sensor located on the vehicle for sensing an angular roll rate of the vehicle about a second sensing axis and generating a roll rate signal. The system further includes rollover crash sensing logic for determining a rollover event of the vehicle about the second sensing axis as a function of the processed linear acceleration signal and the roll rate signal.

Abstract: A Mobile Streaming Camera is operable by an Operator for communication with one of more Remote Clients through a wireless network allows compressed communication of video and audio in both directions together with voice signals in a telephony type communication. The remote client is able to control the operation by voice signals or direct control. A video display at the Camera and at the remote client allows communication of additional data.

Abstract: Closed-loop control of current through a load through pulse-width modulated application of a substantially constant supply voltage across the load, wherein a duty cycle turn-on time is adjusted according to the result of a comparison between a commanded minimum current level and a sensed minimum current through the load during a cycle.
