A convertible seating system for a marine vessel includes a frame and a seat mounted on the frame and defining a first support surface. A backrest is configured for movement relative to the seat and the frame between a first position and a second position. In the second position, the backrest defines a second support surface lying generally parallel and vertically displaced relative to the first support surface.

A locking device (100), especially for locking a backrest (4) of a vehicle seat (1) to a vehicle structure (6), includes a rotary latch lock (20) for locking a mating element (8). The locking device (100) further includes an ejection lever (133) which, in an unlocked state of the rotary latch-type lock (20), moves the mating element (8) relative to the rotary latch-type lock (20) by actuating an operating handle (121).

A seating assembly for a vehicle includes a seat having a seat cushion assembly. A seatback is pivotally coupled with the seat and includes a seatback cushion assembly. A polymeric hard back panel is operably coupled with the seatback and includes a recessed portion. A controlled deformation portion includes a rupture line configured to split during a rear impact collision of the vehicle, resulting in flaps of the controlled deformation portion extending rearward relative to the seatback. The controlled deformation portion is generally concealed from rearward view by a pocket wall.

A thermally conductive trim cover is provided for use on a seat assembly. The trim cover comprises a layer of leather material having a top surface and a bottom surface and thermally conductive particles embedded in the leather material between the top and bottom surface for dispersing heat therethrough.

A system can analyze accelerometer data and location data from a mobile computing device to determine a set of user attributes for a user of the mobile computing device. In certain implementations, the set of user attributes can be utilized by a backend transport facilitation system to configure an autonomous vehicle's seat for the user prior to being picked up for transport.
