20140353457 | MOUNTING STRUCTURE FOR CASING OF OCCUPANT PROTECTION DEVICE CONTROL UNIT - A casing for housing an occupant protection device unit is composed of a metallic base with its plate surfaces facing upward and downward, respectively, and a main body that is put on and mounted on the surface of the base. A bracket formed integrally with the base is composed of a plate-like leg extending laterally from the edge in the base and a fastening member that is integrally formed at an end of the leg and is bolted to the vehicle body. The leg is composed of a through-hole vertically passing therethrough and the two weak portions. The two weak portions are composed of two branching portions separated by the through-hole in the leg. If an excessive collision load is exerted on the bracket from the vehicle body, the two weak portions are torn off, thereby allowing the occupant protection control unit to be protected. | 12-04-2014 |
20140354123 | CASING FOR HOUSING OCCUPANT PROTECTION DEVICE CONTROL UNIT - A casing for housing an occupant protection device control unit is mounted to a vehicle body. The casing is composed of a metallic base mounted on the vehicle body with its plate surfaces facing upward and downward, respectively, and a main body that is put on and mounted on the base. The base has a lock portion that is deformable according to a deformation of the vehicle body caused by a collision load from a vehicle front. The lock portion, when deformed, causes a front portion of the base to be locked with at least a part of a front wall of the main body. | 12-04-2014 |
20150105982 | VEHICLE COLLISION DETERMINATION APPARATUS - A vehicle collision determination apparatus includes a first sensor and a second sensor provided in a cabin of a vehicle, and a determining portion that determines severity of a frontal collision of the vehicle based on the difference between an output from the first sensor and an output from the second sensor. The output from the first sensor includes a first acceleration in a backward direction of the vehicle, and the output from the second sensor includes a second acceleration in the backward direction of the vehicle. The first sensor and the second sensor are arranged along the backward direction. | 04-16-2015 |
20150112552 | VEHICLE COLLISION DETERMINATION APPARATUS - A vehicle collision determination apparatus includes: a first sensor provided in a front section of the vehicle; and a determination section which determines, on the basis of output of the first sensor, whether there has occurred front collision of the vehicle. The output of the first sensor has first acceleration in a backward direction of the vehicle and second acceleration in a rightward direction and/or a leftward direction, and the determination section determines severity of the front collision by use of an integrated value of the first acceleration and an integrated value of the second acceleration. | 04-23-2015 |
20150120147 | VEHICLE COLLISION DETERMINATION APPARATUS - A vehicle collision determination apparatus includes a sensor disposed on a mounting surface in a cabin of a vehicle, and a determining part that determines whether or not a collision of the vehicle has occurred, on the basis of an output from the sensor. The output from the sensor includes first acceleration in a direction vertical to the mounting surface, and when energy based on an amplitude of the first acceleration or a physical quantity correlating to the energy exceeds a threshold, the determining part determines that the collision has occurred. The output of the sensor further includes second acceleration in a rearward direction of the vehicle, and when a value, which is determined by the energy or the physical quantity correlating to the energy and an integrated value of the second acceleration, exceeds the threshold, the determining part determines that the collision has occurred. | 04-30-2015 |
