Virtual head mounted video camera system

A facial image capture system may capture images of a face of a person while the person is moving. A video camera may capture sequential images of a scene to which the video camera is directed. A marker-based location detection system may determine and generate information about the location of a marker worn on or close to the face of the person. A camera control system may automatically adjusts both the horizontal and vertical direction to which the video camera is directed so as to cause the sequential images of the camera to each be of the face of the person while the person is moving, based on the information about the location of the marker from the marker-based location detection system.

COLLATION SHRINK FILM PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE

Disclosed is a heat shrinkable multilayer film for pallet or multipack shrink applications comprising at least one ionomer layer comprising from 5 to 40 weight % of the film, consisting essentially of a copolymer of ethylene and methacrylic acid or acrylic acid wherein from about 1 to about 99% of the carboxylic acid groups are neutralized to carboxylate salts comprising metal ions; and at least one additional layer comprising 60 to 95 weight % of the film, comprising a polyolefin. Also disclosed are uses and methods to collation shrink the film around objects.

VEHICLE TRIM COMPONENT

A vehicle trim component is disclosed. A method for forming the trim component is also disclosed. The trim component is configured to support an airbag chute providing an airbag. The airbag is configured to be deployed through an opening. The trim component may comprise (a) a substrate a structure, (b) a cover comprising a skin made of a thermoplastic material (e.g. TPO having a substantially constant thickness of less than 0.7 mm) and a support layer coupled to the skin, and (c) a thermoplastic (e.g. foam) layer between the cover and the substrate. The thermoplastic foam) layer may be configured to attach the cover to the substrate. The airbag chute may be secured between the thermoplastic (e.g. foam) layer and the substrate. The support layer may be made of a foam material (e.g. polypropylene and/or polyethylene foam). The process for forming the trim component may comprise the steps of (a) providing a skin; (b) applying a support layer to the skin to create a cover; (c) providing the cover in a mold; (d) providing an airbag chute in the mold; (e) providing a substrate in the mold; and (I) injecting a thermoplastic (e.g. foam) material between the cover and the substrate.
