Abstract: A motor vehicle seat arrangement for a motor vehicle. The seat arrangement comprising a vehicle seat, at least one inflatable element, means for inflating the inflatable element which inflate the inflatable element depending on a control signal. The vehicle seat arrangement is arranged in the vehicle and the inflatable element is designed and arranged in or on a side wall of a backrest of the vehicle seat in a way that it exerts a momentum on the upper part of the body of the vehicle occupant while it is inflated in answer to the control signal, so that the whole vehicle occupant is moved away from a collision section of the vehicle that collides or is going to collide with the object or that the thorax region of the upper part of the body of the vehicle occupant performs a tilting movement away from the collision section of the vehicle.

Abstract: An airbag arrangement for a vehicle occupant restraining system including at least one inflatable airbag and an inflating device. The airbag includes a first inflatable area which extends in the inflated status of the airbag in the area of a first body region of the vehicle occupant, and a second inflatable area, which extends in the inflated status of the airbag in the area of a second body region of the vehicle occupant. The first inflatable area has a larger thickness vertical to the main extension plane of the airbag than the second inflatable area. The inflating device and the airbag are designed for inflating the first inflatable area of the airbag to such a high internal pressure that during the impact of the occupant on the airbag a force is exerted onto the first body region of the vehicle occupant which sets the occupant into a tilting motion.

Abstract: A side airbag arrangement for a vehicle occupant restraint system includes an airbag which is provided for the protection of a vehicle occupant and which has at least two inflatable chambers which are in each case to assume a specific position in a motor vehicle after inflation. A functional band is provided, which is secured by a portion outside the airbag. At least a portion of the functional band exerts on at least one of the chambers of the airbag a holding force, which has the effect that the chamber, after inflation, assumes the position provided for the chamber.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a method for the production of mineral materials using bonding agents suspended in water, wherein the water is exposed to electromagnetic fields, including magnetic fields and/or electrical fields, and the suspension is exposed to a suspension mixer.

Abstract: The disclosed occupant protection device for a vehicle can include at least one airbag that protects a vehicle occupant in the event of a collision of the vehicle. The airbag can have an outflow opening through which the gas can exit the side airbag and/or has an overflow opening located inside the airbag. After the occupant protection device has been tripped, the side airbag can be inflated and be positioned laterally next to the vehicle occupant in such a manner that the outflow opening and/or the overflow opening is closed, is throttled, or remains open according to the body size of the vehicle occupant.

Abstract: A lateral airbag device comprises a gas bag which is mounted in a vehicle seat below the seat covering of the vehicle seat. The gas bag is inflated in the event of an accident. The seat covering comprises at least one break line, which can be torn open when the gas bag unfolds enabling the gas bag to exit the vehicle seat. The lateral airbag device is capable of protecting the occupants of a vehicle in the event of an accident in a reliable manner. The seat covering is configured to bring the unfolding gas bag to a predetermined position or to maintain the unfolded gas bag in the predetermined positioned.

Abstract: The disclosed airbag is for an occupant protection device, which protects a vehicle occupant in the event of an accident. In order for the airbag to provide a vehicle occupant with a great protective effect, an embodiment may comprise at least one supporting chamber, which gives the airbag mechanical stability in the inflated state, and at least one energy absorption chamber, which is designed to be more gas permeable than the supporting chamber. With such a configurations the energy absorption chamber absorbs more energy than the supporting chamber during the first phase of an accident.

Abstract: The invention relates a gas bag (5) which is used for a car passenger-protecting system and comprises a gas generator (20) in which at least a part of the envelop of the bag sac is incorporated in the remaining segment of the envelop of the gas bag. The aim of said invention is to obtain a target positioning of said gas bag prior to blowing it. For this purpose, the segment of the envelop (10) forms a narrow filling channel (15) which extends in a predefined discharge direction (70) and can be connected to the gas generator.

Abstract: A high speed solenoid door latch release mechanism operated electro-mechanically. It is coupled with a bomb blast sensing device which would detect a blast and latch release the door of a room fast enough to contain the blast within that room. Baffles in the ceiling, walls, or floor of the room would be adapted to carry away the excess pressure to safety, and because of the high speed release of the reinforced doors, persons and property outside the immediate blast zone could be protected from the negative effects of the explosion.

Abstract: An aircraft window shade includes protective transparent window panels, a shade driven by an electric motor, an integral control panel, and support for remote operation. The shade uses dual sprocket drive for positive shade positioning, low wear, and low parts count. The moving shade element remains substantially flat, curving slightly during some phases of positioning. The apparatus replaces a conventional interior window panel and a manual shade with slight change in overall mechanism thickness and weight. Control electronics in the shade can accept a command from a cabin attendant's console to override the local setting and move the shade to a required position, such as fully open for takeoff. The shade supports use of two or more independent shades, each of which can be made of dimming (transparent), diffusing (translucent), or light blocking (opaque) material. The shade is compatible with electrochromic transmittance control technology.

Abstract: An airbag of an occupant protection device includes at least two overlapping airbag panels, a front fabric panel connected to a rear fabric panel. A chamber is formed between the front and back panels. A gusset is positioned to allow the front and rear panels to separate at a point where the front and rear panels are connected by the gusset. The airbag has high inflating thickness and nearly proportional increase in gas volume for inflation of the airbag.
