ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED CUSHION COMPONENT
A cushion component includes a lattice matrix having a first section comprised of a plurality of 3D cells. Each 3D cell of the plurality of 3D cells of the first section of the lattice matrix includes a face-centered cubic geometry. A second section of the lattice matrix is positioned below the first section and includes a plurality of 3D cells. Each 3D cell of the plurality of 3D cells of the second section of the lattice matrix includes a body-centered cubic geometry. The first section and the second section of the lattice matrix are integrated to define a monolithic structure comprised of a common material.
Systems and methods for minimizing motion sickness in vehicles
A motion sickness control system for a vehicle includes a vibrator. The motion sickness control system includes a sensor configured to measure vibration of the vehicle. The motion sickness control system includes a computer having a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to actuate the vibrator at a target frequency based on the measured vibration of the vehicle. The target frequency attenuates the measured vibration of the vehicle.
