An air conditioning seat including: a blowing path through which air is blown out from a seat surface, the blowing path including a panel member, the panel member including: an air distribution plate portion which has a vertical plate shape, extends to project from a seat side portion to a seat surface side, and in which air flows along an inner side surface thereof in a seat width direction, and a bent plate portion which is bent inward in the seat width direction from a part of the air distribution plate portion which projects further than a seat top surface, and which is configured to discharge the air flowing toward the seat surface side along the air distribution plate portion by bending the air inward in the seat width direction.

A device for ventilating the occupant of a vehicle seat, comprising an air inlet receiving air from a ventilation member, and comprising a first duct integrated at least in part into the backrest of the seat, a second duct integrated into a headrest mounted on the seat and supplying at least one air outlet integrated into the headrest and expelling air coming from the ventilation member, the second duct and first duct being connected by a leaktight sliding connection.

A seating assembly includes a seatback defining an enlarged elongate vertical aperture. A bladeless fan is disposed in the elongate vertical aperture. The bladeless fan includes a base with an air mover disposed therein. A bladeless air loop is in fluid communication with the base. An open lattice cushion support is disposed on the seatback. The open lattice cushion support is exposed from a rear portion of the seatback and is configured to allow air from the bladeless fan to move from a rearward portion of a seat, through the open lattice cushion support and into contact with an occupant resting against the seatback.

A vehicle a sensor system disposed adjacent to a headrest portion of a seat within a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The sensor system includes at least one of an air velocity sensor, an air temperature sensor, a radiant heat flux sensor, a heat flux sensor, or a humidity sensor. The sensor system is positioned near the headrest, facing a forward end of the vehicle, in a position that is not blocked by a head of a passenger seated in the seat. The sensor system provides data related to the air velocity, the air temperature, the radiant heat flux, the heat flux, or the relative humidity, enabling a climate controller to accurately calculate a current Equivalent Homogenous Temperature (EHT) of a passenger seated in the seat. The climate controller may then control a climate system of the vehicle based on the calculated EHT to provide a desired EHT.

The present disclosure relates to a resin composition for vehicle parts, a vehicle part manufactured using the resin composition, and a method of manufacturing the vehicle part. Ultra-high molecular weight siloxane and an inorganic filler are mixed with an alloy resin of polyamide and polyethylene at an optimal rate in order to improve friction resistance and wear resistance while maintaining excellent impact resistance and low hygroscopicity. When a vehicle part is manufactured using the resin composition, it is possible to eliminate the application of silicone-based oil or to remarkably reduce the amount of silicone-based oil that is used, whereby it is possible to reduce manufacturing costs. Furthermore, ingredients that are harmful to human beings, such as POM, are not included, whereby it is possible to improve the quality of air in a vehicle.

An active road noise control system and method for a vehicle includes generating a microphone sense signal representative of road noise occurring in or at a wheel well of the vehicle, and iteratively and adaptively processing the microphone sense signal to provide a noise reducing signal. The system and method further include generating from the noise reducing signal with a headrest loudspeaker arrangement disposed in a headrest in an interior of the vehicle, noise reducing sound at a listening position in the interior of the vehicle.
