  1. Vehicle Occupant Presence and Position Sensing System United States Patent Number: 8285454 Inventor: Peter Norton of Farmington, MI

  2. Pressure sensor system used to create the classification of type of object in a car seat and its position on the seat. • It also calculates the weight of the object. • Determines whether the seat belt is latched. • Based on type of object, decides whether the airbag system should be turned on or off. What it is…

  3. The System Claims: • To have sensors that respond to distance using a reference location to the actual location of the object, there by classifying the object into categories. • To have categories of the object in normal seated position or object in other position. • To have categories of person or object. • To have sensor to define object as a person or an infant car seat. Summary of the Claims
