• Correlation-based feature extraction is applied to CAD model parameters. It shown that parameters as input, makes the problem high dimensional. The volume simulation of a curtain airbag used case study. Using area, medial axis, etc., concept ‘Sleeping Parameters’ introduced. Sleeping enables real time prediction tool in early design phases. Many high-level technical products are associated wi...

I read with interest the reports on defibrillation testing (DFT) during implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation published recently in JACC (1,2). There is a significant, albeit low, risk to serious complications including death during DFT testing. If the implantation data as measured through the device are satisfactory, then should we induce ventricular fibrillation (VF) in a ...

Airbag Control Module (ACM) is designed to detect the vehicle crash, measure the severity and to deploy airbags if necessary. ACM‟s another function is to record the crash related data from vehicles internal accelerometers and sensors from different modules. The system is also known as Event Data Recorder (EDR). This paper describes the operations of an EDR, which detects the crash based on pre...

Embedded systems are critical components of our everyday lives, be they in control systems like airbag controllers in cars, or in consumer products like washing machines and phones. Since such electronic products evolve to software intensive systems, software, becoming larger, more complex and prevalent, poses severe problems in the development of those systems. The required degree of dependabi...

The study compared injury outcome by match pairing sided airbag (SAB) deployment versus no SAB deployment vehicles using 2000 to 2009 CIREN (Crash Injury Research Engineering Network) and NASSCDS (National Automotive Sampling SystemYCrashworthiness Data System) database. The study then concluded that head SAB was protective, whereas thoracic SAB was not. The authors suggested that this could be...
