Morphing trunk organizer using SMA enhanced bi-stable strips
A cargo organizer is constructed from one or more bi-stable strips with at least one shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator per bi-stable strip. The cargo organizer can reside in the bi-stable strips elongated (flat) stable state and require little or no volume of the cargo compartment that it resides. Upon actuating a SMA actuator, the rapid conversion to the curved stable state can occur with the formation of a barrier to partition the cargo compartment into at least to portions. The transformation into the flat stable state removes the partition where the transformation can be via a second SMA actuator or manually. The cargo organizer can be incorporated into the cargo compartment in a manner that it translates from one site and orientation to one or more other sites or orientations by activation an actuator that can be an additional SMA actuator.

Shelf Unit
A shelf unit for covering a storage or luggage compartment in a motor vehicle includes a shelf which is pivotally mounted on at least one receptacle so as to pivot between a position that covers the storage or luggage compartment and a position in which the storage or luggage compartment is accessible. The receptacle has a slot or guide gate along which the shelf can be pivoted. A vehicle includes the shelf unit.
INTEGRATED REMOVABLE BUMPER TRACTION DEVICES
A vehicle is provided with an integrated and removable traction device, such as a tread board. The traction device may be integrated into a bumper of the vehicle. When mounted/installed on the bumper, the traction device can act as a cover to a storage unit implemented in the bumper. When removed, the traction device can be placed under a wheel of the vehicle to provide increased traction on certain surfaces. By integrating the traction device into the vehicle's bumper area, the traction device need not occupy, e.g., interior storage space of the vehicle.
