Methods for administering and taking a test using a headpiece supported on a person's head. A test is directed to the headpiece and includes real displays. A sequence of the real displays and fake displays are displayed on a display in front of the person's face. An encrypted code is provided, which when decrypted, provides places of the real displays in the display sequence. The encrypted code is decrypted to obtain the places of the real displays in the display sequence. A light valve assembly in the viewing portion is controlled to assume, when a real display is being displayed, a first state in which the person is able to view the display through the light valve assembly and thus the real display and assume, when a fake display is being displayed, a second state in which the person is prevented from viewing the display through the light valve assembly.

Airbag inflator system including a housing defining a flow passage leading into an interior of an airbag). A reverse flow valve is arranged at an inlet end region and selectively enables connection of the flow passage to ambient atmosphere dependent on a pressure differential on opposite sides of the reverse flow valve. A gas generator is arranged in connection with the housing. An activation system provides a signal to the gas generator to cause generation of gas. An aspirator is arranged between the reverse flow valve and the outlet end region and includes an inlet portion alongside the reverse flow valve and an aspiration portion partly separated from the inlet portion to define at least one opening in flow communication with the gas generator. The aspirator is preferably configured to generate gas flow in accordance with the Prandtl-Meyer effect.

Airbags including inflator assemblies

Intrusion-protected memory-containing assembly including a substrate, a data storage component and processor on the substrate, and a chassis intrusion detector assembly around the substrate. The chassis intrusion detector assembly includes a first plastic film, a mesh including conductor wires arranged on the first plastic film, and a second plastic film covering the mesh. The conductor wires are connected together in a single circuit with the processor to form a single transmission line. The second plastic film has sealed edges integrated with the mesh such that the edges are inseparable without breaking one of the conductor wires of the mesh. The processor takes action to prevent access to data in the data storage component upon detecting a variance in current through or impedance of the transmission line defined by the conductor wires caused by breaking of one of the conductor wires, e.g., causes the data storage component to self-destruct.

Intrusion-protected memory component

Vehicle with computer networking capability includes a display visible to an occupant of the vehicle, an on-board computer coupled to the display; and a communications device for enabling the on-board computer to communicate with other computers apart from the vehicle via a communications network. The on-board computer communicates with the other computers via the communications device to receive data and software to enable the on-board computer to perform functions. Further, the on-board computer directs the display to display the data received by the on-board computer from the other computers via the communications device. The on-board computer determines which data and software to receive based on a location of the vehicle.

Headpiece for test-taking includes a frame having support structure for supporting the frame on a person's head and a viewing portion configured to be in front of the person's face when the frame is supported on the person's head, and at least one light valve assembly arranged in the viewing portion. Each light valve assembly has a first state in which the person is able to see therethrough and an alternative second state in which viewing therethrough is prevented. A controller controls whether the light valve assembly is in the first state or the second state to thereby control viewing therethrough. The light valve assembly may be situated rearward of part of the viewing portion. Only the headpiece wearer is thus able to view test questions on a display through the light valve assembly.

Biometric identification headpiece system for test taking

Card including a substrate, at least one biometric data entry device on the substrate to receive biometric data about an individual holding the substrate, a memory component on the substrate and containing biometric data about an individual possessing the card and at least one private key, and a processor configured to compare biometric data received via the biometric data entry device to biometric data contained in the memory component to determine whether they match. When there is a biometric data match, a process requiring use of the private key(s) is initiated for authorized use of the card. A chassis intrusion detector system detects tampering with the card and upon such detection, causes deletion of the private key(s) to thereby prevent unauthorized use of the card.
