A conditioning system for a vehicle passenger seat and a vehicle passenger seat assembly, the system including at least one conditioning unit including a Venturi device configured to generate air flow relative to a seat element and a temperature element configured to heat or cool the Venturi device or the air flow, a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature in relation to the at least one conditioning unit, and a controller communicatively coupled to the temperature sensor and operably coupled to the at least one conditioning unit. The controller is configured to operate in a first operating condition in which the Venturi device is activated and the temperature element is inactive to ventilate the seat, and a second operating condition in which both the Venturi device and the temperature element are activated to heat or cool the seat.

A system and a method for determining an object has been on a vehicle seat of a vehicle are provided. The processing circuitry may determine if passengers of the vehicle have left the vehicle. The processing circuitry may determine if a temperature of a vehicle cabin of the vehicle meets a threshold of temperature. The temperature of the vehicle cabin to a first temperature may be adjusted. A temperature of resistive filaments of the vehicle seat of the vehicle to a second temperature may be adjusted. A thermal image of the vehicle seat with a reference thermal image of the vehicle seat may be compared. The processing circuitry may determine if the object has been left on the vehicle seat.

A ventilation system for a seat cushion comprises a reticulated ventilation manifold disposed in the seat cushion. The ventilation manifold has an inlet disposed adjacent a first side of the cushion and a plurality of manifold ducts extending from the inlet to terminate in outlets disposed at or near openings in a second side of the cushion. A fan motor is attached adjacent the first side of the cushion and has a fan outlet in fluid communication with the inlet of the ventilation manifold. The fan motor operates to apply a positive or a negative pressure, via the fan outlet to the ventilation manifold to supply air through the ventilation manifold and the cushion.

A car seat heater has an improved energy efficiency, which includes a heating wire which is coupled to a car seat and includes a metal-plated carbon fiber, a seat temperature sensor configured to detect temperature of the heating wire, and a variable temperature controller configured to control temperature of the heating wire according to a diameter of the metal-plated carbon fiber and a thickness of a plated metal thereof.

A seat assembly includes a frame, a seating base layer, a compression limiter layer, a load distribution layer, and an adjustment module. The seating base layer is arranged on the frame. The compression limiter layer is arranged adjacent to the seating base layer and comprises a wave portion forming a knee support. The load distribution layer is connected to the compression limiter layer. The adjustment module is movable between a rear position and a forward position and is configured to move the wave portion between a retracted position and an extended position. The wave portion has one of more first wave elements formed as springs and one or more second wave elements formed as springs. The first wave elements are offset from the second wave elements in a radial direction.

A seat device for a vehicle includes: a support member detachably attached to a floor of the vehicle; an occupant seat movably supported by the support member and provided with an electrical component; and a wireless power supply mechanism configured to supply electric power to the electrical component. The wireless power supply mechanism includes a power transmitting unit attached to the floor, and a power receiving unit attached to the support member so as to face the power transmitting unit and configured to receive the electric power wirelessly from the power transmitting unit.

A webbing for a seat belt system (10) of an automotive vehicle has a woven webbing body (26) which includes warp threads extending in the longitudinal direction and weft threads extending transversely to the warp threads, and comprising at least one heating filament (28) which is woven into the webbing body (26) as a warp thread and/or a weft thread. The invention further describes a seat belt system (10).

A vehicle seat includes at least one of a seat back and a seat cushion having a pad member and a skin member covering the pad member, wherein a heater having a sheet configuration and a plurality of air cells are provided between a surface side of the pad member and the skin member.

A ventilation and heating apparatus for a child seat is provided. A ventilation mat with an embedded heating wire is mounted on a body of the child seat, so ventilation air is discharged toward a child's body through the ventilation mat in summer or when ventilation is required, and heating wire embedded in the ventilation mat is driven in winter, thus providing a comfortable seating environment for a child sitting on the child seat, and improving the sitting comfort of a child.
