A firing device is described and has an electronic unit which is connected upstream of a firing cap and generates a constant firing voltage. A bypass line is provided for bypassing the electronic unit. A test switching device can be actuated by a test signal and, when a test signal is present, connects a line, which conducts a supply voltage, to the bypass line. In this way, a Brouston test can be carried out.

Firing device for a pyrotechnic vehicle-occupant protection device

A device for protecting a vehicle occupant includes an airbag, a first sensor which detects the presence of an object or of the vehicle occupant in a danger area into which the airbag unfolds as it inflates, and a second sensor for measuring the unrolled belt length of a belt device which is assigned to a vehicle seat. An evaluator controls the inflation of the airbag as a function of the detection of the object or of the vehicle occupant in the danger area and as a function of the belt length. A method for controlling the inflation of an airbag is also provided.

Device for protecting vehicle occupants in a motor vehicle and method for controlling the inflation of an airbag in a motor vehicle

A device and a method for detecting a weight of an object and/or an occupant on a vehicle seat are described. In which a control and evaluation circuit derives a weight signal from a current consumed by an electric motor during a controlled adjustment of the vehicle seat.

Device and method for detecting the weight of an object and/or an occupant on a vehicle seat

A control device, disposed in or on a vehicle seat, which has a pickup for detecting seat occupation, a pickup for detecting a position of the vehicle seat, a common control circuit, and an energy supply for the control circuit. The pickup for detecting seat occupation and the pickup for detecting the position of the vehicle seat are connected electrically conductively with the common control circuit.

Vehicle seat with a control device

A mat incorporating a heating wire and intended for installation in a motor vehicle seat for heating the motor vehicle seat. The novel mat includes further antennas or antenna components of an antenna system, which cooperates with a resonator/transponder of a child seat. The mat thus forms a part of a system for detecting the presence of a child seat placed on the motor vehicle seat.

Mat with a heating wire for a motor vehicle seat heater, and motor vehicle seat with such a mat

A control apparatus for a restraint device in a motor vehicle has a detector for detecting a child seat disposed on a vehicle seat, a pickup for determining the position of the vehicle seat, and an evaluation device. The evaluation device furnishes a control signal for the restraint device as a function of the vehicle seat position and as a function of a status signal of the detector for detecting a child seat.
