Title: Tien Hsiung Lee: Innovator in Occupant Restraint Technology
Introduction
Tien Hsiung Lee is a notable inventor based in Ann Arbor, MI (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of occupant restraint systems, particularly through his innovative patent.
Latest Patents
His most recent patent is titled "Method and apparatus for controlling an actuatable restraint device using a velocity/displacement based safing function with immunity box." This invention involves an apparatus and method for controlling an actuatable occupant restraint device that features multiple actuatable stages. The apparatus includes a crash sensor that detects crash acceleration and provides a corresponding crash acceleration signal. A controller determines both a velocity value and a displacement value from this crash acceleration signal. The safing function is designed to control the enabling and disabling of a deployment control circuit based on the determined velocity and displacement values. The invention introduces an immunity box defined by a displacement-based velocity threshold and a displacement threshold value. If the velocity and displacement values fall within this immunity box, the safing function remains disabled. Conversely, if either value exceeds the immunity box, the safing function is enabled. Additionally, a side impact sensor and side impact crash event circuit are included to assess whether a side impact crash event is occurring, allowing for adjustments to the threshold values of the immunity box.
