Abstract: A sensor system for impact detection is situated in the front region of the vehicle. The sensor system is able to detect kinematic variables in both the longitudinal and vertical directions of the vehicle. The sensor system is suited in particular for truck underride crashes.

Abstract: A control unit featuring clocked data transmission between a processor and at least one further circuit, the processor itself outputting the clock pulse. The processor monitors the clock pulse based on the output signals of at least two clock outputs.

Abstract: A control unit having an oscillator for a processor is described, the control unit storing a temporary absence of oscillation of the oscillator in a first error memory, if oscillation begins again after the absence.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting impact of a moving object, in particular of a vehicle, having a first sensor device for acquiring an acceleration in a direction of motion of the moving object, an evaluation device for evaluating the first acceleration signal, and at least one second sensor device for acquiring an acceleration in an acquisition direction that is different from the direction of motion of the moving object, a classification of an impact by way of a classification signal being made available as a function of accelerations in at least two directions of motion or three acceleration directions.

Abstract: So that, given a desired deactivation of an airbag, a triggering cannot take place under any circumstances, a firing device of the airbag is bypassed using an electrically controllable switch. This switch short-circuits the electric circuit of the firing device during the deactivation time.

Abstract: A sensor arrangement for determination of at least one of a position and an acceleration of a moveable body has a housing fixedly connected with the moveable body, an inertia body accommodated in the housing, a detector arranged in the housing for detecting a horizontal displacement of the inertia body, the housing having a base plate on which the detector is arranged so that determination of a vertical displacement of the inertia body is also performed.

Abstract: An electronic device, in particular a safety device, for occupants of a vehicle has a push-pull output element controlled by an astable flip-flop with outputs via decoupling elements. The astable flip-flop and the decoupling elements receive operating voltage over a switching element that switches at a given acceleration threshold.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an arrangement for metering fuel to a spark-ignition internal combustion engine equipped with a fuel injection system. The fuel metering arrangement includes a control apparatus which generates injection pulses for controlling the injection valves, the pulses being generated at least in dependence upon the rotational speed of the engine. In the event of a failure of the control apparatus, control of the injection valves is switched over to injection pulses derived from the ignition system of the engine. In this arrangement, the transfer of control may be accomplished either by pulling the central plug of the control apparatus or by automatic error detection via a speed relay.
