Abstract: A file-level snapshot access service provides direct access to individual files included in a snapshot for virtual volume of a block-storage service without requiring a volume to be re-created from the snapshot, attached to a computing device, or mounted in a file system. For example, a user/client may directly retrieve individual files from specified snapshots via a user interface/API of the file-level snapshot access service. Additionally, the file-level snapshot access service is configured to provide a listing of files included in a given snapshot. In some embodiments, a file-level snapshot access service may provide direct access to individual files included in snapshots generated for other types of storage systems, such as an object-based storage system.

Abstract: Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application relate to a public snapshot service for creating and managing block-level snapshots. For example, the public snapshot service can create a snapshot based on (i) a specification of a parent snapshot to be used as a basis for a given snapshot, and (ii) a specification of the data blocks to be backed up in the given snapshot. The data blocks in the snapshot may be stored in a specific storage path structure that facilitates computation of a block difference with respect to the parent snapshot.

Abstract: Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application relate to a public snapshot service for associating a block-level snapshot with certain snapshot properties that indicate a block load order, and creating a block storage volume from the snapshot by loading the blocks in the snapshot onto the block storage volume in the block load order indicated by the snapshot properties associated with the snapshot.

Abstract: A switch selectively connects an airbag inflator or a load resistor to a crash sensing module to enable or disable an airbag. A transistor circuit across the load resistor detects whether deployment current is flowing in that resistor. Another transistor activated by the first transistor passes current to a fuse to open the fuse, permanently indicating a deployment event when the airbag was disabled. A latch circuit holds the second transistor on to assure sufficient time to open the fuse by melting.

Abstract: A strain gauge has a stainless steel substrate with a dielectric coating comprising two dielectric layers. A circuit comprising conductors, resistors and piezoresistors in a Wheatstone bridge configuration is formed on the dielectric. One dielectric layer is to adhere to the steel and a second is to form a barrier against diffusion of the first layer into the piezoresistor material. An amplification and signal conditioning circuit is applied adjacent the bridge. The steel substrate is to be welded or bolted at its marginal portions to a structure subject to strain.

Abstract: A mounting system for a housing and method of mounting a housing is provided where the housing is to be mounted to a slotted member in a secure and rigid fashion without loosening over time, particularly when exposed to high vibration environments. The mounting system includes a mounting arm of the housing which is to be inserted through a first slot and then pivoted so that a finger projection on the arm pivots up into a second slot formed in the frame member. The spacing of the first and second slots and the length of the arm and position of the finger projection thereon are such that when the finger is pivoted into the second slot, a cam surface on the finger will engage and slide against at least one of the walls of the slot so as to bias the arm against the frame member in the slots. In this manner, the arm is preloaded against subsequent movement even when subject to intense vibrations or other loosening forces.

Abstract: An existing vehicle seat design is equipped with strain gauges welded to structural seat members to sense occupant seated weight. A microprocessor compensates for preload on the sensors and multiplies each signal by an empirically determined gain, and then combines the gauge outputs. The combined output is low pass filtered to avoid motion induced errors. The measured occupant seated weight is used by decision logic to decide whether to allow passenger airbag deployment.

Abstract: A metal shield is stamped from sheet metal into a box shape and tabs are bent up from the housing walls, and posts are extruded from the tabs. The shield is then insert molded into a plastic housing. A connector shroud is molded on one side of the housing and apertures for terminal pins are also formed during molding. Pins are pressed into the aperture and the ends bent up for circuit board connection. Metal bushings insert molded into ears on the housing provide mounting lugs. The tabs are supports for a circuit board and the posts extend through holes in the circuit board and are upset to retain the board without screws.
