This disclosure generally relates to a headrest assembly, seat, and a method of use. In the disclosure, a head restraint is moveable from an upright position to a folded position by movement of either the push-button or a lever. The disclosed arrangement provides two ways to fold a head restraint, and can further be integrated with another assembly, such as a seat back folding assembly. The disclosed arrangement is further configured to resist vibration, leading to a tighter, more stable design, which provides increased customer satisfaction.

This document describes systems and methods for controlling an exoskeleton. The system receives a measurement of a first torque applied to a rotational joint coupling a first component to a second component, the first torque being applied by a motor via a cable. The system determines, based on the measurement of the first torque, a first portion of a second torque to apply to the rotational joint. The system determines, based on the measurement of the first torque, a second portion of the second torque to apply to the rotational joint. The system determines a value of the second torque to apply to the rotational joint based on the first portion and the second portion. The system controls the motor for applying the second torque to the rotational joint via the cable.

A structure for fixing a shift cable comprises a protective tube for receiving the shift cable therein, a connection tube installed outside the protective tube, a damper installed outside the connection tube to attenuate radial and axial vibration, a main casing which is installed outside the damper and forms a clearance for assembly with a mounting bracket, a sub-casing which is detachably coupled to the main casing by means of an axial assembly guide portion, and a cover which is supported by means of an elastic member with respect to the sub-casing and is installed such that an axial displacement of the cover is restricted with respect to the main casing.

The disclosure is directed to a method for manufacturing a Bowden cable, in particular a Bowden cable of a closure element arrangement of a motorized vehicle, comprising the step of applying a noise dampening sleeve to a Bowden cable housing. It is suggested that the noise dampening sleeve is molded onto the Bowden cable housing.

A remote control assembly includes a sheath (22) having a longitudinal axis along a length thereof and defining an interior. A core element is disposed within the interior and extends along the length. A liner is disposed within the interior and coupled to the sheath (22). The liner surrounds the core element along the length. An outer layer (38) comprising a first material is coupled to the sheath (22). An intermediate layer (41) comprising a second material different from the first material is coupled to the outer layer (38). An inner layer (42) comprising a third material different from the first and second materials and is coupled to the intermediate layer (41). The second material of the intermediate layer (41) comprises an elastomeric material.

A latching system includes a first lever connected to a first cable having a first cable end, a second lever connected to a second cable having a second cable end, a latch connected to a third cable having a third cable end, and a cable splitter assembly. The cable splitter assembly has a housing with a first end and a second end and a body with an interior surface defining an interior chamber. A carriage is configured to translate within the interior chamber. The carriage includes a carriage body with a plurality of cavities arranged to seat the respective first, second, and third cable ends and a plurality of resilient arms integrally formed as one piece with the carriage body.

An arrangement for isolating vibration of Bowden cable-actuated components includes a Bowden cable, an actuation element coupled at one end to the Bowden cable and including a mounting eye, a damping element arranged in a positive-fit connection in the mounting eye, and a transmitter element supported within the damping element for actuating the Bowden cable such that it can be deflected. The damping element includes an elastic grommet having a defined recess lying in a specified deflection direction of the transmitter element. In a non-actuated state, the transmitter element is disposed at a centered position within the elastic grommet and is movable into contact with the mounting eye due to the effect of a deflecting actuation force under compression of the elastic grommet in an area of the recess.

A latching system includes a first lever connected to a first cable having a first cable end, a second lever connected to a second cable having a second cable end, a latch connected to a third cable having a third cable end, and a cable splitter assembly. The cable splitter assembly has a housing with a first end and a second end and a body with an interior surface defining an interior chamber. A carriage is configured to translate within the interior chamber. The carriage includes a carriage body with a plurality of cavities arranged to seat the respective first, second, and third cable ends and a plurality of resilient arms integrally formed as one piece with the carriage body.
