20090048989 | METHOD OF CAPITAL CREATION FOR TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS - A capital creation process for a qualified (i.e., tax-exempt) organization to raise funds for capital improvements, subsequently eliminating the obligation to ever repay the debt. The tax-exempt bonds are offered to selected investors in a pool that meets certain parameters that may include age, wealth and affiliation with the tax-exempt organization issuing the bonds. The investor establishes an individual charitable remainder trust with the purchased tax-exempt bonds as the asset. The qualified organization is named as the irrevocable residual beneficiary of the trust. The investor receives an annuity equal to the bond interest income from the charitable remainder trust for life. Upon the death of the investor, the bonds are returned to the organization, which can then extinguish the liability on its financial statements. The investor in the tax-exempt bonds is able to deduct from his individual income tax return, an amount under applicable tax laws for the contribution of the tax-exempt bonds to the charitable remainder trust. The investor establishes an irrevocable life insurance trust with a gift of the tax saving resulting from the income tax deduction, and names his heirs or others as beneficiaries. The trustee purchases a life insurance policy, in at least an amount equal to the purchase price of the tax exempt bonds, with the tax savings resulting from the tax deduction and places the asset in the life insurance trust to replace the amount of wealth contributed originally to the charitable remainder trust. | 02-19-2009 |

20080259729 | Method of characterizing a vehicle crash event based on shear waves in the vehicle frame - A vehicle crash event is detected and characterized based on the transmission of acoustical shear waves through the vehicle frame. At least three, and preferably four or more, acoustical emission sensors longitudinally and laterally distributed on the vehicle frame produce acoustical signals that are processed to extract the shear wave energy due to impacts. Since shear waves are non-dispersive and travel through the vehicle frame at a known velocity, they can be detected in any part of the frame. The extracted shear wave signals are used not only to judge the severity of the impact, but also to characterize the type of crash and determine the direction of the impact based on when the shear wave is detected by each of the acoustical emission sensors. | 10-23-2008 |

A crush sensor senses a force exerted by the body on the vehicle. A monitoring circuit monitors the capacitance between the first plate and the second plate and an output signal of the crush sensor. The monitoring circuit issues a safety countermeasure signal dependent upon the capacitance between the first plate and the second plate and the output signal of the crush sensor. | 09-03-2009 |
20100007184 | Seat assembly for sensing an occupant - A seat assembly is provided that can be sat upon by an occupant that detects the weight of the occupant. The seat assembly includes a seat cushion, a rotary sensor, and a linkage having a tip. The seat cushion deforms in response to the weight. The rotary sensor has a shaft that rotates about an axis and has an electrical output that is proportional to the angle of rotation of the shaft. The linkage underlies the seat surface and connects the seat surface to the shaft of the rotary sensor. As weight is placed on the seat the seat cushion deforms in response to the weight moving the tip and the linkage. The movement of the linkage rotates the shaft, which in turn, provides an electrical output that is proportional to the weight. | 01-14-2010 |
