  • Patent number: 9529489
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure may provide a method and apparatus of testing a computer program. The method may include acquiring first display data of a character region in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the computer program. The method may also include reducing display size setting of an original character string associated with the character region. The method may also include acquiring second display data of the character region in refreshed GUI. The method may further include generating a message indicating character truncation when there is a difference other than actual display size of character between the first display data and the second display data. With the technical solution provided by embodiments of the disclosure, character truncation existing in a GUI may be automatically detected.

  • Patent number: 8234039
    Abstract: A motor vehicle is provided that has a deployable occupant protection device, a controller that manages deployment activity, and a sensor located in a forward portion of the vehicle that produces a forward crash signal in response to crash stimulus. The forward crash signal varies between positive and negative values over time. At least some of the negative values are converted to positive values, defining a conditioned crash signal which is processed with an integrating algorithm, defining a conserved energy crash metric value that supplements processing of a central crash signal while evaluating a potential crash event(s). The conserved energy crash metric value can be used as a confirmatory factor, influencing whether to deploy the deployable occupant protection device. Or, for deployable occupant protection devices having multiple deployment stages, the conserved energy crash metric value can be used in determining whether to initiate one or more of the deployment stages.

  • Patent number: 6186539
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling an actuatable occupant restraint device for a vehicle (11) having first and second actuatable stages (24, 26). The apparatus includes a crash sensor (17, 19) mounted near the front of the vehicle (11) for providing a crash acceleration signal (238, 270). An average crash acceleration determiner (246, 278) determines an average crash acceleration value, and provides a signal indicative thereof. A controller (31) is operatively coupled to the actuatable stages (24, 26). The controller effects actuation of the first actuatable stage when the determined average acceleration value exceeds a first threshold value (248, 250, 254, 256). The controller (31) determines a crash severity index having a value according to a time interval from when the determined average crash acceleration value exceeds the first threshold value (248, 250, 254, 256) to when it exceeds a second threshold value (252, 258).
