<p>A seat occupant sensing system has at least one sensor (20) interposed between a rigid seat support member (16) and a rigid seat pan member (18) such that the weight supported by the seat pan member is transferred from the seat pan member to the seat support member via said at least one sensor which senses the magnitude of the weight transferred therethrough. A device, such as a microprocessor, processes a signal from the sensor(s) to determine the weight that the rigid seat pan member is bearing. The signal processing device may control the activation and operation of a safety device such as an airbag or seat belt pretensioner as a function of the presence of and weight of a seat occupant.</p> |
