The SceneScore is a simple mechanism of injury scoring system designed to facilitate the appropriate triage of crash victims. It comprises 7 variables including age, collision type, impact location, airbag deployment, steering wheel deformity, intrusion, and restraint use. A cutoff value of 7 or 8 provides the maximum balance between sensitivity and specificity, with sensitivities of 75% to 83%...

In this paper we present a 2 input analog Current-Starved Pseudo-Floating Gate (CSPFG) inverter with capacitive feedback. The analog CSPFG inverter suppresses low frequencies due to the active, local feedback. This inverter can be used in designing filters where a narrow band pass or reject is the main goal. Typical applications are detection of high frequency components in sensor signals, i.e....

Robust detection of vehicle occupant posture is necessary for intelligent airbag deployment. This paper presents a vision-based method of estimating the size, posture and pose of the occupant. Utilizing raw reflectance and stereo disparity images, this algorithm presents a mixed-mode approach to finding occupant features. Extensive experiments show the robustness of this mixed-mode method in id...

We present a method for change detection and parameter estimation in change in the mean models and AR(X) model. The method is based on the assumption of piecewise constant parameters resulting in a sparse structure of their derivative. To illustrate the algorithm and the performance of it, we apply it to the change in the mean model and compare it with four other change detection algorithms. Tw...

Petri nets are useful for modelling a variety of asynchronous and concurrent systems, such as automated manufacturing, computer fault tolerant systems, and communication networks. This study employs an airbag inflator system as an example to demonstrate a Petri net approach to failure analysis. This paper uses Petri nets to study minimum cut sets finding, marking transfer, and dynamic behaviour...

Ship-launching technology is developing rapidly in an effort to reach a point of economic efficiency, time security, and flexibility. On the one hand, risks process launching ships using airbags are still present can occur. Exploding due inability withstand load has implications for structural damage. Excessive pressure on cause deformation. This study aims determine effect airbag strength ship...
