An apparatus for descaling an inner surface of a bending steel pipe includes a support pallet supporting a plurality of bending steel pipes of which first ends and second ends are opened, the plurality of bending steel pipes being disposed in one direction on the support pallet, a stopper part selectively stopping the first ends and the second ends of the plurality of bending steel pipes, a shot ball supply part supplying shot balls to inner portions of the plurality of bending steel pipes through one of the first ends or the second ends of the plurality of bending steel pipes, and a high frequency vibration part on which the support pallet is seated and which performs high frequency vibrations to shot-peen the inner portions of the plurality of bending steel pipes supported by the support pallet.

A baby changing station is provided for a motor vehicle. That baby changing station includes a car seat having a seat bottom and a seat back. A cavity is provided in a rear face of the seat back. A cover is carried on the seat back. That cover is displaceable between a first position covering and concealing the cavity and a second position opening the cavity. The baby changing station also includes a storage net carried on a first face of the cover.

An auxiliary tractor seat for providing additional seating in a tractor cabin is provided herein. The auxiliary tractor seat includes a mounting plate defining one or more mounting holes, configured to receive an auxiliary tractor seat bolt, so as to couple the auxiliary tractor seat to tractor seat. A base plate is coupled to the mounting plate so as to provide a substantially flat seating surface. A lower seat back coupled to at least one of the mounting plate and the base plate, an upper seat back at least partially disposed above the lower seat back, and a hinge coupled to the lower seat back and the upper seat back so as to permit the upper seat back to transition from an upright position to a horizontal position. The auxiliary tractor seat is coupled to the tractor seat such that suspension supports the auxiliary seat and provides shock absorption.

A method for cancelling seat vibration includes receiving a first accelerometer measurement. The method also includes receiving a second accelerometer measurement. The method also includes determining a counter torque value based on the first accelerometer measurement and the second accelerometer measurement. The method also includes selectively controlling a motor using the counter torque value.
