US Patent:

7477975, Jan 13, 2009

Filed:

Jun 27, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/475107

Inventors:

Christopher Griffin - Allen Park MI, US

Assignee:

Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

B60K 28/00

US Classification:

701 45, 280735, 180273

Abstract:

The invention is directed to a method for setting an occupant classification system threshold for a vehicle occupant detection system, the method comprising collecting occupant classification system data for a seat, the data being indicative of occupant weight, analyzing the data to determine where a separation exists between an occupant for which a restraint should be suppressed and an occupant for which the restraint should be deployed, and analyzing the data to determine a worst case child suppression weight and shape, which is based at least on where the separation exists. The worst case child suppression weight and shape define the occupant classification system threshold.

Appl. No.:

16/693907

Inventors:

Brian Weinberg - West Hartford CT, US
Christopher S. Griffin - Wethersfield CT, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/26

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention relate to a centralized managing system and method for creating, deploying, administering, and managing a plurality of separate and distinct virtual computer networks on a virtualization platform for offering cloud computing services (SaaS). Embodiments of the invention relate to a computer system for a centralized management of separate and distinct virtual computer networks, which has a security grid which has at least one grid processor and a memory device that stores a managing application. The managing application has a virtualization platform, a grid access layer, a virtual computer network template system, a plurality of resource distribution tools and a plurality of monitoring and metering tools. The grid processor is adapted by the managing application so that it can create, deploy, administer, and manage the plurality of separate and distinct computer networks.
