  • Publication number: 20230205670
    Abstract: A method and electronic system for checking performances of an application on a target equipment of a vehicle before validating the application into an applications catalog of a vehicle equipment manufacturer. The method carried out by the system includes: receiving an application selected by a user among different applications provided on an applications platform, the platform having a channel for the applications catalog of the vehicle equipment manufacturer and dedicated for storing different applications; providing a set of testing items to be selected by the user; generating a testing workflow according to the selected testing items; testing the application to generate a testing result by carrying out the testing workflow; comparing the testing result with an expected reference result, and delivering a checking message including a checking result for the application, the user being the vehicle equipment manufacturer or a user designated by the vehicle equipment manufacturer.

  • Patent number: 11529926
    Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag (14) for unfolding between a vehicle part (10) and a vehicle occupant (18), comprising an impact wall (20) which, in the installed and unfolded state of the airbag (14), faces a vehicle occupant (18) and a circumferential wall (22) which is connected to the impact wall (20) and, in the installed and unfolded state of the airbag (14), extends between the impact wall (20) and the vehicle part (10), wherein the circumferential wall (22) is made with multiple layers, at least in some sections, and forms at least one annular tube (23) which delimits an annular inflatable first airbag volume (V1), and wherein a radially inner layer (26) of the circumferential wall (22), together with the impact wall (20), delimits an inflatable second airbag volume (V2) that is separate from the first airbag volume (V1). The invention further relates to an airbag module (12) having such an airbag (14).

  • Patent number: 10770276
    Abstract: According to some aspects, a spectrometer is provided, the spectrometer configured to receive molecules of a plurality of metabolites including one or more molecules of a first metabolite, filter the received molecules to retain molecules of the first metabolite including a plurality of different mass isotopomers of the first metabolite, fragment molecules of a first mass isotopmer of the retained molecules to produce a first plurality of daughter ions, measure abundances of the first plurality of daughter ions as a function of daughter ion mass, fragment molecules of a second istopomer, different from the first mass isotopmer, of the retained molecules to produce a second plurality of daughter ions, and measure abundances of the second plurality of daughter ions as a function of the daughter ion mass.
