A gearbox for a vehicle seat adjustment mechanism in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure includes first and second portions. The first portion includes a first body defining a first longitudinal recess and a first peripheral recess in fluid communication with the first longitudinal recess. The first body includes a concave first curved surface. The second portion includes a second body defining a second longitudinal recess and a second peripheral recess in fluid communication with the second longitudinal recess. The second body includes a convex second curved surface. The second curved surface has an equal and opposite curvature compared to the first curved surface. In an assembled configuration, the first and second curved surfaces are in contact, the first longitudinal and second longitudinal recesses cooperate to define a longitudinal passage, and the first and second peripheral recesses communicate to define a peripheral receptacle.

A moving body control device controls a moving body that moves by a rotation of a motor. The moving body control device includes: a pinching detecting unit that detects pinching of an object based on a change in a physical quantity indicating a rotation state of the motor. The pinching detecting unit is configured to: determine that the pinching has occurred in a case in which a first difference of the physical quantity in a first period is equal to or greater than a first threshold value and a tendency of a change in the physical quantity in the first period is a monotonous increase or a monotonous decrease; and lower a value of the first threshold value in a case in which the tendency of the monotonous increase or the monotonous decrease of the physical quantity continues for a period longer than the first period.

A novel power slide with a motor directly connected to a lead screw includes a left slide and a right slide each including a top rail, a bottom rail, a power motor, a lead screw, a threaded assembly and a retainer ring. A first slot and a second slot are formed in two ends of the top rail, respectively. The power motor is fixed to a lower surface of the top rail through a motor bracket. The lead screw has an end connected to the power motor and another end rotatably fixed to the lower surface of the top rail. A bottom portion of the threaded assembly is fixedly connected to an upper surface of the bottom rail, and the lead screw horizontally penetrates through the threaded assembly and is in threaded fit with the threaded assembly. The retainer ring is located in the first slot, and a gap is formed between the retainer ring and the first slot.

An on-board device includes: an air-conditioning unit configured to perform air conditioning by blowing air-conditioning air into a vehicle cabin from an at outlet port that faces the vehicle cabin, and perform, in accordance with remote control, pre-air conditioning for air-conditioning the vehicle cabin before an occupant gets into a vehicle; a seat moving unit configured to move a vehicular seat in a seat front-rear direction, the vehicular seat being disposed such that a front face of a seat back faces the air outlet port; and a control unit configured to, when the remote control is perforated for performing the pre-air conditioning, control the air-conditioning unit such that the pre-air conditioning is performed, and control the seat moving unit such that the vehicular seat moves to a seat front side.

In the vehicle seat, rear suspension members are provided at two positions spaced away from each other in a lateral direction on an edge of a seat cushion near a seatback, and support the seat cushion while the seat cushion is suspended from a seat cushion support frame so that the seat cushion is movable in the lateral direction. A front suspension member is provided at one position or two positions spaced away from each other in the lateral direction on ahead of the rear suspension members, and supports the seat cushion while the seat cushion is suspended from the seat cushion support frame so that the seat cushion is movable in the lateral direction.

A system for a vehicle with a drive assistance system for an automatic drive includes an adjustment module for an electric seat setting of a driver seat and a control module that is designed such that, during an automatic drive operation of the vehicle, a seat setting of the vehicle seat is kept in a range which is suitable for allowing the driver to assume guidance of the vehicle.

A transmission system for providing sliding movement of a vehicle seat within a vehicle includes a dual output motor having a left-hand and right-hand motor output shafts, a left-hand bevel gearbox and a right-hand bevel gearbox operatively coupled to a respective one of the left-hand and right-hand output motor shafts, a left-hand long rail assembly comprising a left-hand power rail drive assembly slidably coupled to a left-hand fixed long rail and operatively coupled to the left-hand bevel gearbox and a right-hand long rail assembly comprising a right-hand power rail drive assembly slidably coupled to a right-hand fixed long rail and operatively coupled to the right-hand bevel gearbox. The dual output motor rotates the left-hand and right-hand motor output shafts resulting in each of the left-hand and right-hand power rail drive assemblies being transposed along the respective left-hand and right-hand fixed long rails.

A system for controlling a vehicle includes: an occupant gaze recognition unit to recognize a gaze of an occupant in the vehicle; a point of interest determination unit to determine the point of interest among an external object visible through a side window of the vehicle based on the gaze of the occupant; and a seat position control unit to change a seat position of the occupant to enable a continuous stare at the point of interest according to a movement of the vehicle.
