The object of the present invention is to reduce the exposure of polluted air to a baby, and in particular to minimize the pollutions inhaled by a baby when strolling, walking or transporting a baby in an exterior environment. The object is attained by providing a portable device for filtering air, said device being adapted to be arranged in association with a top end of a baby-transporting device. With such an air-filtering device, air from outside of the baby-transporting device may be filtered and purified before being provided in a well-distributed manner to the area of the baby-transporting device where a baby is positioned.

A ventilated adjustable headrest may include an adjustable metal insert, a nozzle fixedly attached to the adjustable metal insert. The nozzle may be in fluid communication with a perforated covering and one or more cushion elements. The nozzle may be telescopically coupled to one or more ventilation ducts. The one or more ventilation ducts may be configured to receive forced air from a ventilation system at an air inlet, and may be configured to deliver the forced air to the nozzle.

A moveable seat control apparatus with an automatically chargeable battery, may include a seat including a moving motor engaged to the seat and configured to selectively move the seat along a rail, a battery positioned below the seat, and configured to receive power to perform charge, and to supply the charged power, a controller positioned below the seat and connected to the battery, and configured to monitor a state of charge (SOC) value of the battery to generate SOC information, and to control the moving motor to move the seat to a charge position when the SOC is equal to or less than a predetermined SOC, and a charger connected to the battery and coupled to a power supply terminal to receive the power and to charge the battery.

A wire harness connected to a sensor is positioned on a back surface of a pad of a vehicle seat supported by a panel. The vehicle seat (1) includes a panel (4); a pad (11, 51) supported by the panel; a skin material (12, 52) covering a front surface of the pad; and a sensor (32) provided between the front surface of the pad and the skin material for acquiring information on a seat occupant, wherein the pad is provided with a through hole (35, 58) passed from the front surface of the pad to a back surface of the pad, and a recess (45, 61) formed in the back surface of the pad and connected to the through hole, the wire harness connected to the sensor extending in the through hole and the recess.

Embodiments are directed to controlling a thermal environment inside a cabin of a vehicle by detecting a user in the cabin of the vehicle and retrieving a profile for the detected user. The profile can define settings for each of one or more features of the vehicle influencing the thermal environment inside the cabin of the vehicle. A set of current environmental conditions can be detected and a setting for each of the one or more features of the vehicle influencing the thermal environment inside the cabin of the vehicle can be determined based on the retrieved user profile and the detected set of current environmental conditions. The determined settings can then be applied to each of the one or more features of the vehicle influencing the thermal environment inside the cabin of the vehicle.

An extensively reconfigurable seat design can include a vehicle seat system including: a vehicle seat defining a vehicle occupant accommodating space, the vehicle seat including a seat cushion portion including multiple individually adjustable bladders, where each of the multiple individually adjustable bladders has a connected valve that controls fluid communication with an internal space of the individually adjustable bladder to adjust a pressure level within the internal space of the individually adjustable bladder, and an associated sensor configured to detect the pressure level within the internal space of the individually adjustable bladder. A computer can actively sense and control the pressure levels within the bladders, using the sensors and valves, to provide customization, adaptive, ride-active and intelligent control over a reconfigurable cushion for a vehicle.

A vehicle seat has at least one occupant comfort actuator suited for acting on a part of the body of an occupant of the seat. The actuator is driven based on at least one measurement of one sensor of sweat from the occupant of the seat.

A vehicle seat with a ventilation device which is paired with at least two fans. It is provided that only one of the at least two fans is provided with a bus signal as an input signal which is converted into a PWM signal for the at least one other fan in a signal converter wherein the signal converter has at least one output which provides the PWM signal, generated for the at least one fan, to an input of the at least one further fan.

There is provided a vehicle seat (car seat) comprising a seat cushion pad (seat body) having an air passage connected to an outlet port (114), and a blower having an inlet port (113) and configured to feed air taken in through the inlet port (113) to the air passage. The blower (100) is located on the lower side of the seat cushion pad (seat body) that is opposite to an occupant's side on which an occupant is to be seated, and the inlet port (113) is directed upward that is a direction toward the seat cushion pad (seat body).

An air supply device and a method of operating same are provided for a vehicle seat having an air discharge opening provided in the upper region of the vehicle seat, via which opening a head, shoulder, and neck region of the seat occupant can be supplied with an airflow. The airflow is adjustable by a control unit for controlling or regulating a fan rotational speed of a blower and can be heated via a heating element. The control unit is supplied at least one activation signal for activating the air supply device and a temperature signal that provides information about the interior temperature. The control unit activates the heating element and the blower according to the activation signal and then controls at least the blower as a function of the interior temperature.
