An apparatus detects a vehicle/pedestrian impact event by sensing impact events near a forward location of a vehicle using a multi-port pressure sensor and acceleration sensors. The multi-port pressure sensor includes multiple pressure sensors in a unified housing, connected via individual pressure ports to multiple impact-sensing hoses mounted along the vehicle bumper. An acceleration sensor may also be installed in the same housing. A single electrical connector provides connection to the multiple pressure sensors and also the acceleration sensors.

Hybrid vehicle/pedestrian impact detecting method and apparatus

A crash sensor assembly including a printed circuit board and a crash sensor mounted on the printed circuit board, At least one connector pin is mounted to the printed circuit board so as to permit external electrical communication with the crash sensor. A first insert molded soft inner layer of material partially covers the printed circuit board and covers the crash sensor, and a second overmolded hard outer layer of material covers the first soft inner layer of material and bonded thereto and rigidly contacts the printed circuit board.

Method and apparatus for packaging crash sensors

A control unit having a circuit substrate mounted within a housing that is adapted to be mounted upon a hydraulic valve body with a coil spacer mounted upon said substrate. The coil spacer including at least one coil support ring having resilient member extending in a radial direction from the edge of the ring into the center of the ring. The control unit also including a solenoid coil and flux casing assembly mounted upon the coil spacer ring with the solenoid coil and flux casing assembly flexing the resilient member such that the resilient member urges flux casing away from the coil spacer.

Control unit for vehicle brake system

An electro-hydraulic control unit includes a valve body having a recess formed in a surface thereof and a circumferential wall which extends around the recess. The wall includes at least one widened portion. An electronic control Unit is mounted over the recess. The electronic control unit carries a circuit substrate which extends over the widened portion of the valve body wall such that widened portion of the valve body wall forms a heat for an electronic component carried by the circuit substrate. Additionally, components mounted on upon the circuit substrate, including a motor connector extending into the recess. A pump motor is mounted upon the valve body surface opposite from the electronic control unit. An electrical connector extends from the motor through a bore formed in the valve body and connects to the motor connector mounted upon the circuit substrate.
