THREE-DIMENSIONAL LATTICE AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

A three-dimensional lattice includes a stabilizing grid having grid warp strands and grid weft strands crossing the grid warp strands. Grid cells are defined by adjacent grid warp strands and adjacent grid weft strands intersecting the adjacent grid warp strands. A projecting net has net warp strands and net weft strands crossing the net warp strands. Each subnet in a plurality of subnets uniquely corresponds to a corresponding grid cell. Each subnet includes a net warp strand portion intersecting both of the grid weft strands that define the corresponding grid cell. Each subnet includes a net weft strand portion intersecting both of the grid warp strands that define the corresponding grid cell. The net warp strand portion and the net weft strand portion of each subnet are spaced from a minimum surface defined by the corresponding grid cell.

WEIGHT-RESPONSIVE VEHICLE SEAT OCCUPANT DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION METHOD AND SYSTEM
20180244172 · 2018-08-30 ·

A vehicle seat occupant classification system for use in a vehicle seat includes a weight-responsive sensor, at least one bracket member serving as a holder for the weight-responsive sensor, and an evaluation unit configured to evaluate a status of the at least one weight-responsive sensor. The bracket member is fixedly attached to the seat base. If a mechanical load at least corresponding to a first pre-determined threshold value is applied by a seat occupant, a portion of the vehicle seat comes into mechanical interaction with the at least one weight-responsive sensor, and is configured to change a status of the at least one weight-responsive sensor if a mechanical load at least corresponding to a second pre-determined threshold value is applied. Relative movement between the seat base and the at least one weight-responsive sensor is at least excluded for applied mechanical loads that are smaller than the first pre-determined threshold value.

Global standard template creation, storage, and modification
10059342 · 2018-08-28 · ·

Methods and systems for a complete vehicle ecosystem are provided. Specifically, systems that when taken alone, or together, provide an individual or group of individuals with an intuitive and comfortable vehicular environment. The present disclosure includes a system to create, modify, and maintain profiles associated with users. The user profiles are generated based on selectively collecting data associated with the users. Although each user profile may include settings, preferences, habits, and content associated with an individual user and/or vehicle, some user profiles may represent multiple users. These user profiles can change a configuration of a vehicle to match settings for a user, such as a driver and/or passenger. The configurations may also include the recognition of a unique set of gestures for a user. Further, the user profiles can be transferred from vehicle-to-vehicle and/or user-to-user.

Vehicle seatback

A seatback includes a lower frame, an upper frame, and a hinge coupling the lower and upper frames. An actuator is fixed relative to the lower frame, and a cable extends from the actuator to the upper frame. In the event of a collision, the actuator pulls the cable, and the upper frame moves from an upright position to a bent position relative to the lower frame.

Vehicular occupancy assessment

Systems, devices, and techniques are provided for occupancy assessment of a vehicle. For one or more occupants of the vehicle, the occupancy assessment establishes position and/or identity for some or all of the occupant(s).

VEHICLE SYSTEM, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND VEHICLE CONTROL PROGRAM

A vehicle system includes a seat on which an occupant of a vehicle is seated, a first operation reception unit and a second operation reception unit configured to be operated by the occupant, and a seat drive unit configured to change a position of the seat on the basis of an operation received by the first operation reception unit, and return the position of the seat to a position before being changed by the first operation reception unit when an operation is received by the second operation reception unit, and the second operation reception unit is provided at a rearward position relative to a place corresponding to a central portion in a travel direction of a seating portion of the seat in a side member provided in a side portion of the seat.

Method and apparatus for controlling air cell in seat

The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for controlling an air cell in a seat. It includes: an air cell provided in the seat; a pressure sensor configured to measure a pressure in the air cell; an actuation switch configured to enable an operation of injecting or discharging air into or from the air cell; and a control unit input with the measured air cell pressure value.
