Apr 11, 2012 Incorporating handwriting recognition software, Capacitive Touchpad Sensor helps drivers and passengers coordinate and operate variety of functions within car. User writes characters with single finger on touch sensor area and input is interpreted by software and acknowledged by audible feedback. Designed to recognize handwritten numbers, letters, and symbols, touch sensor enables driver to operate mobile phones, navigation systems, and radio as well as send messages, from single point.

Power Steering System offers software-controlled functions.

TRW Automotive    Livonia, MI 48150
Jun 27, 2011 With Electric Power Steering System, various functions can be selected by manufacturer and programmed within software to optimize driver safety or mitigate vehicle error states. Pull Drift Compensation detects if vehicle is drifting to one side and makes adjustments, while Active Disturbance and Road Shake Compensation reduces vibration in steering wheel caused by uneven road conditions. Other functions include Semi Automatic Parking, Torque Steer Compensation, and Driver Steer Recommendation.

Seat Belt Pretensioner offers simplified design..

TRW Automotive    Livonia, MI 48150
Dec 08, 2010 SPR4 (Snake Pretensioner Retractor) uses plastic piston instead of metal components to transfer tensioning torque, resulting in simple and light weight design. Comprised mainly of piston, gas generator, tube, and pinion, uses tensioning concept that transfers power without limiting functionality. Pre-tensioning takes 10 msec, and green gas used exhibits low variation over temperature range. Also, tube is bent into dimensions of retractor without constraining seat belt webbing.

Modular Airbag Kits fit multiple vehicles. .

TRW Automotive    Livonia, MI 48150
Dec 08, 2010 Modular driver, passenger, side, curtain, and knee protection airbag kits consist of baseline product that can be scaled/adjusted for global vehicle platform requirements. Airbag inflators of DI10 series are assembled from construction kits of standard components, with many parts common to all types. All DI10 inflators have same diameter, with gas volume controlled by having designs of different heights to accommodate required propellant loads.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor supports multiple valve designs.

TRW Automotive    Livonia, MI 48150
Oct 14, 2010 Low Cost Clamp-In (LCCI) sensor for Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) applications includes valve that screws directly into housing, allowing for single housing with multiple valve design capability. Devices' design features laser welding of the cover to the housing, compliant pin battery and valve connection, and heat resistant, long life battery capable of operating within temperature range of -40 to +120°C.

Head Protection System provides safety in convertible vehicles.

TRW Automotive    Livonia, MI 48150
Aug 26, 2010 Fully integrated in backrest bolster, Model HSPC II eliminates need for integrated head rest. Unit works together with torso protection system and both can be tuned individually. Operated via small pyrotechnic gas inflator with 20 mm diameter, HPSC II ensures restraint efficiency in broad range of convertible vehicles.

Airbag Control Unit offers pre-crash safety features.

TRW Automotive    Livonia, MI 48150
Dec 02, 2009 For stability control, Airbag Control Unit includes crash and inertial sensors located near vehicle center of gravity. Data from sensors is used to optimize side impact and rollover sensing functions. Device can also incorporate capabilities of Active Control Retractor within unit to manage pre-crash occupant safety functions. Control unit supports pedestrian protection sensing and actuation, rollover detection and actuation of suspension stabilizer bar, and passenger occupation detection.

Braking System targets hybrid/low-vacuum vehicles.

TRW Automotive    Livonia, MI 48150
Nov 04, 2008 Slip Control Boost 2 (SCB 2) brake technology, suited for regenerative and low vacuum powertrain vehicles, includes electro-hydraulic control unit (EHCU) and brake pedal simulator unit with twin master cylinder to supply brake pressure. Featuring minimized number of components, 12 V system also provides decoupled brake pedal for integration into autonomous or emergency braking systems. It can be integrated into vehicles from small cars to SUVs.
