Le ballon ABS-ou airbag d’avalanche-est connu dans le commerce sous le nom de «Système ABS»(Avalanche airBag System). Ce système se compose d’un sac à dos avec poches latérales, contenant chacune un ballon d’une capacité de 75 litres. La personne, lorsqu'elle est emportée par une avalanche, tire sur une poignée de déclenchement qui, par l'intermédiaire d’une petite charge explosive, ouvre la cartouche d’air comprimé. Les ballons sont gonflés en l'espace d’une à deux secondes, à l'aide du gaz des cartouches et de l'air ambiant, inspiré par effet Venturi au moyen d’un système de soupapes. Il existe également une variante plus ancienne du système, avec un seul ballon d’une capacité de 150 litres. Dans ce cas, le déclenchement de la cartouche d’air comprimé s’opère mécaniquement, par le biais d’un cordon. 4, record 2, French, - ballon%20ABS

Les gyromètres font appel aux microtechnologies. [...] Le marché des microgyromètres est principalement tiré par les applications automobiles(suspension active, déclenchement d’airbag en cas de tonneaux), qui requièrent une précision de 1°/s. La précision visée pour les applications aéronautiques ou de navigation est nettement supérieure : il faut pouvoir mesurer des vitesses de rotation de 0, 001°/s. La structure, réalisée en SOI, utilise un concept de diapason constitué de deux masses vibrantes dans le plan du substrat. Les deux masses, supportées par un cadre relié au substrat par deux poutres souples en rotation, sont excitées en vibration en opposition de phase. 2, record 7, French, - gyrom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20poutre%20vibrante
