Abstract: An automotive radar system and method transmit a plurality of radar signals into a region, detect reflected radar signals, and convert the reflected radar signals into digital data signals. A plurality of range-Doppler maps for the region are generated from the digital data signals, and the plurality of range-Doppler maps are averaged to generate an averaged range-Doppler map for the region. Data points in the averaged range-Doppler map are analyzed to detect blobs in the averaged range Doppler map. If a blob is detected in the averaged range-Doppler map, the radar detector is indicated to be unblocked.

Abstract: A sensor assembly for detecting crush of a compliant material. The sensor assembly includes a light source such as an LED, and a light sensor. In one implementation, the sensor assembly is used for detecting and impact of a motor vehicle with an external object or structure. Crush of the energy absorbing material, which may be provided in the form of an open or closed cell type polymeric foam is detected through a change in the intensity of the reflected back light received by the light sensor in response to compression of the energy absorber material. Other applications are contemplated.

Abstract: An airbag can include a first cushion portion that defines a first inflatable chamber and a second cushion portion that is connected to the first cushion portion and defines a second inflatable chamber. The first inflatable chamber can receive inflation gas from an inflator to expand the first cushion portion, and the second cushion portion can receive inflation gas from the first inflatable chamber to expand the second cushion portion. A one-directional valve permits inflation gas to flow from the first inflatable chamber to the second inflatable chamber and restricts backflow of inflation gas from the second inflatable chamber to the first inflatable chamber.

Abstract: An assembly provides a dual function for mounting a port connector on a circuit board and also secures a capacitor to the circuit board. The assembly includes the circuit board and a monolithic plastic frame having a flange, a snap structure, a capacitor cradle, and a socket section. The flange has a fastening structure for fastening the frame to the circuit board. The snap structure for a snap-in attachment of the port connector to the frame is arranged near an end edge of the circuit board. The capacitor cradle for holding a cylindrical capacitor is formed adjacent to the snap structure and is elevated from the circuit board by an air gap. The socket section bears socket contacts for receiving capacitor contact leads.

Abstract: A radar system and method in a host system include a radar detector detecting reflected radar signals and converting the reflected radar signals into digital data signals. A motion detector detects motion of the host system and indicates velocity of the host system. A processor receives the digital data signals and processes the digital data signals to categorize the digital data signals into target categories, one of the target categories being an environmental clutter category, the processor associating each of a plurality of processed groups of the digital data signals with a velocity, one of the groups of digital data being associated with a first preselected velocity. When the velocity of the host system changes, if the velocity associated with the one of the groups of digital data of the environmental clutter category has not changed, then the processor indicates that the radar detector is at least partially blocked.
