| 69 | Movable acceleration switch responsive to acceleration parallel to plane of substrate upon which the switch is fabricated and methods | US177938 | 1998-10-23 | US5990427A | 1999-11-23 | Michael Dean Lammert; George William McIver |
| A micro-miniature acceleration switch (240) has a substrate (242) and an inertial mass member ("IMM" 244) fabricated upon the substrate. The substrate (242) has a planar surface (246), and the IMM (244) can slide relative to the substrate from a first position to a second position when the switch (240) is accelerated along at least one direction parallel to the planar surface by acceleration of sufficient magnitude. Electrical contacts (e.g., 268) are fabricated upon the substrate (242) with at least one contact being coupled to the IMM (244). The contacts (268) move between closed and open positions when the IMM (244) slides between the first position and the second position. In one embodiment, an electrode (e.g., 292) provides an electrostatic force that opposes the acceleration forces and holds the IMM (244) in a holding position until overcome by the predetermined acceleration force. The predetermined acceleration force necessary to trigger the switch (240) may conveniently be adjusted by adjusting the electrostatic force applied by the electrode (292). The switch (240) is particularly useful as a safing switch in a system (140) for controlling a vehicle occupant protection device. | ||||||
| 70 | Long dwell crash sensor | US24218 | 1993-03-01 | US5389751A | 1995-02-14 | David S. Breed |
| A vehicle crash detecting sensor having a pivoted sensing mass which rotates, in response to vehicle deceleration occurring in a crash of a vehicle, from an at-rest position through a second position of rotation at which time airbag deployment is enabled and then the mass is intentionally rotated through to a third (long dwell) position at a rotational angle much larger in magnitude and in the same direction as that of the second position. The sensing mass is spring biased to always bias the mass during rotation to the at-rest position regardless of the dwell angle of the mass during rotation. By appropriate configuration of the inner wall of the housing to which the other end of the spring, typically an elastica spring, is attached, the part of the spring which touches the wall can be controlled and thereby ensuring that the direction of the torque is always the same,- that is, towards the at-rest position. | ||||||

| An original apparatus that will react and shut off a main fluid source during a severe earthquake. A steel ball is held at an elevated position by a secured magnet. In a severe earthquake, the seismic vibrations will cause the steel ball to break away from the magnet and fall onto the slide trigger. The weight of the steel ball and slide trigger will be pushed down and the slide trigger shall engage a momentary switch that will send voltage to a normally open motorized ball valve and cause it to close. The apparatus can be reset by manually pulling upward the lift handle towards the top cap. Resulting in the momentary switch to disengage and the voltage will seize to power the normally open motorized ball valve, causing it to go back to its normally open state. Thus allowing the fluid to pass through the ball valve. | ||||||
