System and method for preventing vehicle accidents in which GPS ranging signals relating to a host vehicle's position on a roadway on a surface of the earth are received on a first communication link from a network of satellites and DGPS auxiliary range correction signals for correcting propagation delay errors in the GPS ranging signals are received on a second communication link from a station or satellite. The host vehicle's position on a roadway on a surface of the earth is determined from the GPS, DGPS, and accurate map database signals with centimeter accuracy and communicated to other vehicles. The host vehicle receives position information from other vehicles and determines whether any other vehicle from which position information is received represents a collision threat to the host vehicle based on the position of the other vehicle relative to the roadway and the host vehicle. If so, a warning or vehicle control signal response to control the host vehicle's motion is generated to prevent a collision with the other vehicle.
202 Airbag inflation control system and method US09825173 2001-04-03 US20020027339A1 2002-03-07 David S. Breed
Airbag inflation control system and method for a vehicle including an airbag module having a housing mounted in combination with the seat back and an inflatable airbag arranged therein. An anticipatory sensor detects that an impact requiring deployment of the airbag is required based on data obtained prior to the crash and initiates inflation of the airbag in the event an impact requiring deployment of the airbag is detected prior to the start of the impact. An inflator responds to the detection by the anticipatory sensor that an impact requiring deployment of the airbag is required and inflates the airbag. The occupant may be displaced upon inflation of the airbag.
203 Vehicular component control systems and methods US09838919 2001-04-20 US20010029416A1 2001-10-11 David S. Breed; Wilbur E. DuVall; Wendell C. Johnson
System and method for controlling operation of a vehicle or a component thereof based on recognition of a individual including a processor embodying a pattern recognition algorithm trained to identify whether a person is the individual by analyzing data derived from optical images and an optical receiving unit for receiving images including the person and deriving data from the images. The optical receiving unit provides the data to the algorithm to obtain an indication from the algorithm whether the person is the individual. A security system enables operation of the vehicle when the algorithm provides an indication that the person is an individual authorized to operate the vehicle and prevents operation of the vehicle when the algorithm does not provide an indication that the person is an individual authorized to operate the vehicle. A component adjustment system adjusts the component based on the recognition of the individual.
204 Side impact airbag systems US09024085 1998-02-17 US06209909B1 2001-04-03 David S. Breed
A variable inflation rate inflator system for inflating one or more airbags including an inflator for releasing a gas into the airbag(s), a first anticipatory crash sensor for determining that a crash requiring an airbag will occur based on data obtained prior to the crash and, upon the making of such a determination, triggering the inflator means to release gas into the airbag(s) to thereby inflate the same at a first inflation rate, and a second crash sensor for determining that a crash requiring an airbag will occur or is occurring and, upon the making of such a determination, affecting the inflator such that an additional quantity of gas is released thereby into the airbag(s) to thereby inflate the airbag(s) at a second inflation rate greater than the first inflation rate. Also, an airbag passive restraint system for protecting an occupant sitting in the seat adjacent the side door is disclosed including at least one airbag arranged to be inflated between the occupant and the side door, a sensor for detecting that a crash requiring deployment of the airbag(s) is required, an inflator for releasing a gas into the airbag(s) to inflate the same and which is triggered by the sensor to release gas into the airbag(s) in response to the detection by the sensor of a crash requiring deployment of the airbag(s), and a system for permitting the occupant to be displaced away from the side door upon inflation of the airbag(s) and thereby increase the space between the occupant and the side door.
205 Portable laser digitizing system for large parts US904225 1997-07-31 US6069700A 2000-05-30 Fredrick C. Rudnick; Jeffrey M. Hansen; Charles M. Richards

206 Projectile tracking system US136029 1998-08-18 US6057915A 2000-05-02 Mark Squire; Murray Dunn; George Houghton
A projectile tracking system for acquiring and precisely tracking a projectile in flight in order to reveal the source from which the projectile was fired. The source is revealed by the back projection of a 3-dimensional track file. The system is particularly suited for tracking a bullet fired by a sniper and identifying the location of the sniper. Projectiles of interest typically become hot due to aerodynamic heating. A telescope focuses infrared light from a relatively large field of view on to an infrared focal plane array. In a detection mode, the system searches for the infrared signature of the projectile. The telescope's field of view is steered in the azimuth by a step and stare mirror which is driven by an azimuth drive motor mounted on the frame. When a projectile is detected, the system switches to a tracking mode and the mirror is steered by the azimuth drive motor and a pivot motor to track the projectile. A laser radar system provides a laser beam which is optically coaligned with the telescope axis. Mirror angular position information, laser radar pulse travel time, and the missile spot position on detector array are used by a computer to calculate projectile trajectory information and to determine the origin of the projectile using known ballistic trajectory methods. Although only a small portion of the total trajectory may be captured, the very accurate position information permits extrapolation to determine the launch point of the projectile.

208 Optical identification and monitoring system using pattern recognition for use with vehicles US474786 1995-06-07 US5845000A 1998-12-01 David S. Breed; Wilbur E. DuVall; Wendell C. Johnson
A vehicle interior monitoring system to identify, locate and monitor occupants, including their parts, and other objects in the passenger compartment and objects outside of a motor vehicle, such as an automobile or truck, by illuminating the contents of the vehicle and objects outside of the vehicle with electromagnetic, and specifically infrared, radiation and using one or more lenses to focus images of the contents onto one or more arrays of charge coupled devices (CCD arrays). Outputs from the CCD arrays, are analyzed by appropriate computational means employing trained pattern recognition technologies, to classify, identify or locate the contents or external objects. In general, the information obtained by the identification and monitoring system is used to affect the operation of some other system in the vehicle. When system is installed in the passenger compartment of an automotive vehicle equipped with an airbag, the system determines the position of the vehicle occupant relative to the airbag and disables deployment of the airbag if the occupant is positioned so that he/she is likely to be injured by the deployment of the airbag.

The present invention provides a projectile tracking system for acquiring and precisely tracking a projectile in flight in order to reveal the source from which the projectile was fired. The source is revealed by the back projection of a 3-dimensional track file. The system is particularly suited for tracking a bullet fired by a sniper and identifying the location of the sniper. Projectiles of interest are typically traveling at a substantial fraction of the speed of sound or even faster than the speed of sound and therefore become hot due to aerodynamic heating. A telescope focuses infrared light from a relatively large field of view on to an infrared focal plane array. In a projectile detection mode, the system searches for the infrared signature of the fast moving projectile. The telescope's field of view is steered in the azimuth by a step and stare mirror which is driven by an azimuth drive motor mounted on the frame. When a projectile is detected the system switches to a tracking mode and the mirror is steered by the azimuth drive motor and a pivot motor to track the projectile. A short pulse high repetition rate laser in a laser radar system provides a pulsed laser beam which is optically coaligned with the telescope axis. Mirror angular position information, laser radar pulse travel time and the missile spot position on detector array are used by a computer to calculate bullet trajectory information and to determine the source or origin of the projectile using known ballistic trajectory methods. Although only a small portion of the total trajectory may be captured, the very accurate position information permits extrapolation to determine the launch point of the projectile.

213 Three dimensional camera and range finder US593243 1990-10-05 US5081530A 1992-01-14 Antonio Medina
A three dimensional camera system in which a precisely timed beam of energy is emitted from a single source with the beam illuminating the scene. The reflected energy from the beam is detected with a camera whose sensitivity is precisely timed and synchronized with the emitted beam. The reflected energy is separated and segregated according to the time of arrival at the camera. One or more cycles of energy are emitted, the camera segregates reflected energy during each cycle by separately storing the energy detected before and after a given time. The ratio of two consecutive separately detected energies conveys depth or third dimension. Signals can be displayed to a viewer to create a stereoscopic image or used by a machine for automatic response to a three dimensional environment.
