A device for attaching an object to an attachment rail, particularly a seat rail, in an aircraft or spacecraft. A base part has a support surface to be placed onto an outer surface of the rail, and a locking element to partially protrude from the support surface along a line of protrusion. The base part and locking element are coupled or configured to be coupled wherein the locking element can be moved relative to the base part along the line of protrusion and rotated with respect to the base part. An end section of the locking element has a tip portion shaped in a dovetail-type manner. The device includes a tensioning arrangement for tensioning the locking element with respect to the rail. An arrangement includes such a device as well as an attachment rail with a rail main body and a plurality of bushes. A method for attaching an object, and a seat rail are disclosed.

Systems, apparatus and methods may be configured to implement actively-controlled light emission from a robotic vehicle. A light emitter(s) of the robotic vehicle may be configurable to indicate a direction of travel of the robotic vehicle and/or display information (e.g., a greeting, a notice, a message, a graphic, passenger/customer/client content, vehicle livery, customized livery) using one or more colors of emitted light (e.g., orange for a first direction and purple for a second direction), one or more sequences of emitted light (e.g., a moving image/graphic), or positions of light emitter(s) on the robotic vehicle (e.g., symmetrically positioned light emitters). The robotic vehicle may not have a front or a back (e.g., a trunk/a hood) and may be configured to travel bi-directionally, in a first direction or a second direction (e.g., opposite the first direction), with the direction of travel being indicated by one or more of the light emitters.

A floor tile has arcuate slots formed on its upper surface and defined about a common center of curvature. A positioning cavity is formed on the upper surface and located radially outward from a common radius of curvature of the arcuate slots. An accessory comprises a base having a bottom section. An attachment member is pivotally mounted to the base and has two arcuate hooks extending under the bottom section of the base. A locating projection extends under the bottom section of the base, being located radially outward from a pivot axis of the attachment member. To mount the accessory on the floor tile, the arcuate hooks are received in the arcuate slots and the locating projection is received in the positioning cavity. Pivoting the attachment member causes locking or unlocking of the arcuate hooks in the arcuate slots for attaching or detaching the accessory on the floor tile.

Systems, apparatus and methods implemented in algorithms, hardware, software, firmware, logic, or circuitry may be configured to process data and sensory input to determine whether an object external to an autonomous vehicle (e.g., another vehicle, a pedestrian, road debris, a bicyclist, etc.) may be a potential collision threat to the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle may be configured to implement interior active safety systems to protect passengers of the autonomous vehicle during a collision with an object or during evasive maneuvers by the autonomous vehicle, for example. The interior active safety systems may be configured to provide passengers with notice of an impending collision and/or emergency maneuvers by the vehicle by tensioning seat belts prior to executing an evasive maneuver and/or prior to a predicted point of collision.

A blocking and contact system for an electrical connection of an on-board power supply of a motor vehicle to a vehicle seat or a seat system that is blockable, removable, and longitudinally displaceable. Such a system is of structurally simple construction, and facilitates a rapid and automatic electrical connection in every position without additional control by a user.

A vehicle includes a cabin. A track assembly is mounted within the cabin. A carriage assembly is received by the track assembly. The carriage assembly includes a housing, a cam structure that is rotatable relative to the housing, a brush that is coupled to the housing and actuatable by the cam structure, and rollers that are coupled to the cam structure.

A roller assembly for a vehicle seating assembly is provided. The roller assembly includes an anchor rotatably coupled with a vehicle seating support. An axle extends from the anchor. A first roller is positioned on the axle. A second roller is positioned on the axle and between the first roller and the anchor. A spacer is positioned on the axle and flush with the second roller.
