Abstract
A method is disclosed herein. The method includes receiving, by a processor, a first acceleration data from an accelerometer, calculating, by the processor, a change in velocity based on the first acceleration data, the change in velocity being calculated over a first period of time, and adjusting, by the processor, a timing sequence based on the change in velocity.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, a first acceleration data from an accelerometer;
- calculating, by the processor, a change in velocity based on the first acceleration data, the change in velocity being calculated over a first period of time;
- and
- adjusting, by the processor, a timing sequence based on the change in velocity.

A system, comprising:
- an ejection seat;
- an accelerometer coupled to the ejection seat;
- a switch coupled to the ejection seat;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- store a first acceleration data received from the accelerometer;
- calculate a change in velocity based at least in part on the first acceleration data, the change in velocity being calculated over a first time period;
- determine a scalar value based at least in part on the change in velocity in response to a signal from the switch;
- and
- adjust an ejection sequence of the ejection seat based on the scalar value.

An ejection seat, comprising:
- an accelerometer connected to the ejection seat;
- a controller configured to:
- receive acceleration data from the accelerometer each first period of time;
- store the acceleration data;
- calculate an average velocity based on the acceleration data;
- determine a scalar value based on the average velocity;
- and
- adjust an ejection sequence based on the scalar value.
