A method and assembly for recovering a metal from by-products produced from etching a metal (e. g. , platinum, iridium, aluminum, etc. ) in a plasma processing chamber. The method includes recovering from the plasma processing chamber a deposit of the by-products containing the metal. The deposit is dissolved in an acid, and the metal is recovered from the acid by inserting a working electrode, a reference electrode, and a counter electrode into the acid and applying a difference in potential between the working and reference electrodes to cause current to flow through the working and counter electrodes and the metal to be removed from the liquid and deposit on the working electrode. The metal is removed from the working electrode to recover the metal. The assembly for recovering the metal from the by-products includes a potentiostat for effecting a difference in potential between the working and reference electrodes and causing current to flow through the working and counter electrodes in response to the difference in potential between the working and reference electrodes.

A control system for an automotive vehicle having a vehicle body includes a sensor cluster having a housing oriented within the vehicle body. A roll rate sensor is positioned within the housing and generates a roll rate sensor signal corresponding to a roll angular motion of the sensor housing. A controller receives the roll rate sensor signal and generates a reference roll angle. The controller also compares the reference roll angle to the roll rate sensor signal and generates a roll rate sensor fault signal in response a fault determined in said roll rate sensor.

A control system for an automotive vehicle having a vehicle body includes a sensor cluster having a housing oriented within the vehicle body. A roll rate sensor is positioned within the housing and generates a roll rate sensor signal corresponding to a roll angular motion of the sensor housing. A controller receives the roll rate sensor signal, the controller generates a residue signal in response to a sensor error or a measurement error. The controller sets a fault condition in response to the residue signal larger than a dynamic threshold and a magnitude of the roll rate signal above a fault condition threshold. The controller sets a fault flag in response to the fault condition indicated for a predetermined time during which no double wheel lift occurs.

A system () for controlling a safety system () of an automotive vehicle () includes a longitudinal acceleration sensor (), a vehicle speed sensor (), a lateral acceleration sensor (), a yaw rate sensor, and a controller (). The controller () determines a reference pitch in response to the longitudinal acceleration signal and the vehicle speed signal and a reference roll angle in response to the yaw rate signal, the wheel speed signal and the lateral acceleration signal. The controller () determines a roll stability index and a pitch stability index. The controller () determines an adjusted pitch angle in response to the reference pitch angle and the pitch stability index and an adjusted roll angle in response to the reference roll angle and the roll stability index. The controller () controls the safety system () in response to the adjusted roll angle and the adjusted pitch angle.

A vehicle control system includes a housed sensor cluster generating a plurality of signals. An integrated controller includes a sensor signal compensation unit and a kinematics unit, wherein the sensor signal compensation unit receives at least one of the plurality of signals and compensates for an offset within the signal and generates a compensated signal as a function thereof. The integrated controller further generates a kinematics signal including a sensor frame with respect to an intermediate axis system as a function of the compensated signal and generates a vehicle frame signal as a function of the kinematics signal. A dynamic system controller receives the vehicle frame signal and generates a dynamic control signal in response thereto. A safety device controller receives the dynamic control signal and further generates a safety device signal in response thereto.
