The braking system of a vehicle is securely engaged in response to the operator of the vehicle causing the vehicle to stop. The braking system improves vehicle safety by remaining securely engaged upon detection of a fault such as a vehicle collision, an unintentional transmission shift, a vehicle m
The braking system of a vehicle is securely engaged in response to the operator of the vehicle causing the vehicle to stop. The braking system improves vehicle safety by remaining securely engaged upon detection of a fault such as a vehicle collision, an unintentional transmission shift, a vehicle malfunction or a problem with the operator or operation of the vehicle. In the event of a collision, securely engaged brakes can significantly reduce resulting vehicle acceleration, potentially avoiding a secondary collision and reducing injuries experienced by the vehicle operator and passengers. In the event that no fault is detected, the braking system is disengaged in response to the operator accelerating the vehicle, either by pressing the gas pedal or releasing the brake pedal, thereby making the securely engaged brakes virtually unperceivable under normal operating circumstances. The braking system may be released rapidly in response to a substantially depressed gas pedal to facilitate a rapid start or gradually in response to a partially depressed gas pedal to facilitate a smooth start.

The surgical drape of claim 11 further comprising an antimicrobial agent carried by said polymeric film, said antimicrobial agent being carried by said polymeric film on a side opposite said coating of an adhesive composition. 13. In a method of producing a surgical drape, the steps comprising: (a) selectively adding coloration to a polymeric drape starting material; (c) forming a surgical drape from the colored polymeric drape starting material so as to produce a translucent, energy absorbing polymeric surgical drape capable of reducing the luminous intensity of light being reflected from the surface thereof, thereby substantially eliminating eye strain. 14. In the method of claim 13, the further step of providing a low glare finish to at least one side of said translucent, energy absorbing polymeric surgical drape. 15. In the method of claim 14 wherein said low glare finish is a matted surface. 16. In the method of claim 14 wherein said low glare finish is a textured surface. s modulus of the steel cord (kgf/mm2); FA is the total sectional area of the filament forming the steel cord (mm2); D is the diameter of the steel cord (mm); and S is the pitch between the steel cords that are adjacent in a crown portion (mm). 2.
