A system and method for alleviating sensory conflict in a vehicle are provided. According to one aspect, a computer-implemented method for alleviating sensory conflict in a vehicle is provided. The method includes identifying a sensory conflict for a vehicle occupant based on a sensory event at a location. The method also includes determining an inurement action to alleviate an impact of the sensory conflict on the vehicle occupant. The method further includes determining an actuation schedule for performing the inurement action an N number of times for a predetermined amount of time. The method yet further includes controlling a haptic device to perform the inurement action according to the activation schedule in response to the vehicle occupant being located in a seat of the vehicle.

A massage system for a seat having a seat surface. At least one plane is defined for the seat, which plane is spanned by a longitudinal axis and a vertical axis of the seat. The at least one plane separates a first side and a second side of the seat from one another and intersects the seat. At least one massage element is arranged in at least one component of the seat. The at least one massage element has at least one active surface which is arranged on at least one of the two sides of the seat. The at least one active surface of the at least one massage element executes at least one stroke movement which is oriented parallel, downwards, and/or upwards at least partially in the direction of the at least one plane, relative to the seat surface

A lumbar support system for use in an ejection seat of an aircraft, comprising may comprise a pump; a plurality of bladders fluidly coupled to the pump; and a controller electrically coupled to the pump, the controller operable to: select a bladder in the plurality of bladders to fluidly isolate the bladder from a remainder of bladders in the plurality of bladders; and command the pump to inflate the bladder.

A system and method for providing massaging within a vehicle that include receiving vehicle dynamic data associated with a real-time dynamic performance of the vehicle as the vehicle is being driven for a predetermined period of time. The system and method also include determining at least one strenuous driving activity associated with a driver of the vehicle based on at least one driving maneuver. The system and method additionally include analyzing positional parameters and movement parameters that are associated with at least one area of a body of the driver that is utilized to conduct the at least one driving maneuver for the predetermined period of time. The system and method further include controlling at least one massaging element disposed within the seat of the vehicle to provide massaging to the at least one area of the body of the driver.

A backrest of a vehicle seat comprises a backrest frame, a support plate fixed to the backrest frame, and at least one vibrating device. Each vibrating device is fixed to the support plate by means of at least one damping element. Preferably, each vibrating device is fixed on a face of the support plate opposite to the face intended to be oriented towards an occupant of the seat, at least a portion of each vibrating device being received in a respective through-hole in the support plate.

A vehicle seat element lining comprises a cushioning comprising at least one first face intended to be oriented towards an occupant of the vehicle seat and a second face, opposite the first face, the cushioning having at least one hole opening on the first and/or the second face of the cushioning; at least one vibrating device disposed in a hole, each vibrating device comprising at least two first snap-fit reliefs; a plurality of distinct vibrating device brackets, each comprising a base, overmolded by the cushioning, and a second snap-fit relief, each vibrating device being fastened to at least two respective brackets, by snap-fitting the first and second snap-fit reliefs.

In a configuration in which a holder holding a controller is mounted on a seat part with a plate-shaped member, the exposure of the mounting part of the plate-shaped member on which the holder is mounted is eliminated. A seat device includes a pressure sensor measuring a value relating to the seated person's state, a vibration imparting device a vibration imparting operation, an ECU controlling the vibration imparting device corresponding to the measurement result of the pressure sensor, a holder holding the ECU, and a mounting bracket fixed to a lower frame such that the holder is mounted on the lower frame of a seat part. The mounting bracket includes a mounting projection on which a side wall of the holder is mounted in a predetermined mounting direction. When the side wall is mounted on the mounting projection, the mounting projection is covered with the side wall.

A motor vehicle seat, having a seat massage system which has one, or a plurality of, fluid-fillable massage bladder(s), has a cushion which comprises a first side facing the seat occupant and a second side opposite the first side. The massage bladder(s) is/are arranged on the second side of the cushion such that filling the massage bladder(s) causes a pressure of the filled massage bladder(s) on pressure regions of the cushion and thus a deformation of the cushion. At least one of the pressure regions is surrounded by a recess present in the cushion.

A vehicle seat that includes: at least one support element defining a cavity, an air pump, and at least one olfactory diffuser arranged in the cavity and fluidly connected to the air pump, the olfactory diffuser having an outer casing defining an inner volume, the outer casing defining an air inlet and an air outlet, the olfactory diffuser further having at least one olfactory substance carrier arranged in the inner volume defined by the outer casing. The air pump causes the circulation of a flow of air through the inner volume from the air inlet to the air outlet toward the outside of the cavity.
