20030160399, Aug 28, 2003

Filed:

Jun 5, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/163673

Inventors:

Jerold Lyons - Sparta NJ, US
Werner Schon - Mountainside NJ, US
John Schon - Sparta NJ, US
Carl Grossi - Wantage NJ, US

Assignee:

Jerold P. Lyons.

International Classification:

F16J015/08

US Classification:

277/650000

Abstract:

A modular, shielded enclosure engineered to provide structural security for information technology (IT), data, and telecom equipment is provided. The enclosure is composed of individual periphery shields locked together to create an airtight, thermal resistant, fire resistant, waterproof, hermetically sealed facility. In addition, a series of penetration management devices (PMD) and a control panel can be deployed. The enclosures are infinitely configurable independent structures, and may be expanded, reduced, or relocated with ease to give end-users the flexibility needed to manage the ever-changing, highly specialized IT facility.

Assignee:

Breed Automotive Technology, Inc. - Lakeland FL

International Classification:

G01P 15135
H01H 3514

US Classification:

200 6145M

Abstract:

An accelerometer for sensing velocity changes particularly suited for passenger restraint systems in a motor vehicle for the deployment of an air bag includes a housing with contact blades and a magnetically biased contacting element. The contacting element is arranged to move toward the contact blades when a deceleration exceeding a threshold level is sensed. A cylindrical permanent magnet is used to bias the contacting element. The magnet is contained in an insert, and a seal is disposed between the insert and the housing.

Breed Automotive Technology, Inc. - Lakeland FL

International Classification:

H01H 3514
B60R 2132

US Classification:

180282

Abstract:

An electro-mechanical accelerometer is disclosed for use in a vehicle to selectively actuate a vehicular safety device such as, for example, an airbag when a deceleration force greater than a predetermined threshold level is sensed.

Assignee:

Breed Automotive Technology, Inc. - Lakeland FL

International Classification:

H01H 3514

US Classification:

200 6153

Abstract:

A side-impact electro-mechanical accelerometer is used in a vehicle to selectively actuate a vehicular safety device such as an airbag when a lateral acceleration force greater than a predetermined threshold level is sensed. A hollow housing is configured to retain an actuator element movable between a first, second and third position at least partially disposed therein when in the first position and a switch assembly including a first flexible conductive switch element movable between a first, second and third position disposed to engage and normally retain the actuator element when in the first position, a second conductive switch element disposed in spaced relationship relative to the actuator element and the first flexible conductive switch element when each is in the first position to engage the first flexible conductive switch element when the actuator element moves from the first position to the second position when the lateral acceleration force greater than a first predetermined threshold level is exerted on the side-impact electro-mechanical accelerometer to close a first electric circuit and a third flexible conductive switch element disposed in spaced relationship relative to the actuator element and the first and second flexible conductive switch elements when each is in the first or second positions to engage the second flexible conductive switch element when the actuator element moves from the first position to the third position when the lateral acceleration force greater than a second predetermined threshold level is exerted on the side-impact electro-mechanical accelerometer to close a second electric circuit.
