摘要: A roof-mounted air bag system, having a passenger position sensor array of capacitive coupling sensors, to determine and motion by triangulation, from microprocessor analysis distances the various sensors changes said with time; combination three-axis vehicle rollover output sensor, both block deployment in event that indicates rollover, also confirm crash sensing rapid angular acceleration; analyze signals array, order when it would be helpful but not otherwise; an inflated configuration two principal chambers, one inflating downward along windshield other rear first, reentrant slot-shaped space between them which can accommodate forwardly positioned passenger, such as infant facing car seat, inflation reduce likelihood injury resulting deployment; means for brief recording data microprocessor, possible later use analysis, may lead ideas improvement design or system.
