摘要:
A vehicle seat assembly includes a seating surface, wherein the seating surface defines a plurality of temperature controlled zones. At least one electrically actuated heating/cooling source provides one of heating and cooling to the plurality of zones. A controller individually controls electrical power supplied from the source to each zone and is operative to reduce power consumption in one zone relative to another zone in accordance with a predetermined profile designed to limit the overall power consumption of the assembly.

An occupant environment conditioning system for a vehicle includes a controller that selectively operates at least one device for altering an environment of a vehicle occupant based a power cost analysis.
摘要:
A linear actuator configured to move multiple mechanisms in different directions along a common axis. The actuator suitable for use in any number of applications and environments, including but not limited to vehicle seat applications where a latch handle or other features requires actuation in order to facilitate folding the seat from an upright position to a fold-flat position and onto a tumble position.
摘要:
An actuator assembly for use with a seat assembly having a latch assembly, the latch assembly having a handle portion and a latch release mechanism connected to the handle portion, the latch release mechanism controlling movement of one portion of the seat assembly with respect to another portion of the seat assembly, the latch release mechanism being manually operable by the handle portion, the actuator assembly having a base plate adapted to be positioned on the seat assembly proximate the latch release mechanism and an actuator assembly connected to the base plate and positioned so as to be capable of engaging the latch release mechanism, the actuator assembly being configured to avoid obstructing manual operation of the latch assembly.
摘要:
A dynamic headrest having a capabilities to move forwardly during an accident or other suitable condition so as to limit injuries to an occupant's head. The headrest optionally including an actuator configured to move the headrest forwardly in respond to rotary motion of a rotary member.
摘要:
Method and system to alert drivers to driving related information thought controlling information displayed on one or more roadside displays. The displayed information may related to traffic flow, road conditions, emergencies, and any other type of information. Optionally, the displayed information may be determined at least in part of data collected from onboard the vehicles.
摘要:
A head restraint assembly includes a curved support member for upwardly and forwardly deploying a headrest. The support member is selectively locked and unlocked to alternately maintain the headrest in a retracted position or deploy the headrest. A vehicle impact sensor signals the release of the support member when a vehicle impact is sensed. The headrest is deployed quickly and effectively until it reaches its potential full deployment, or until an occupant's head contacts the headrest.
摘要:
An electrical junction box has a first insulating polymeric portion and a second polymeric portion defining multiple electrically conductive circuits. The circuits are at least partially separated by the first insulating polymeric portion and at least some of the circuits electrically connect together wire harness connector portions. A further aspect of the present invention junction box causes a section of the first insulating polymeric portion to concurrently act as a segment of an outer protective cover for the junction box.
摘要:
A multi-functional apparatus employs an electromagnetic device. The electromagnetic device selectively causes movement of an intermittent motion mechanism thereby moving a mechanical device coupled thereto. A main driving gear is rotated from the wiper positional range in either direction to access one or another adjacent release positional range, but not necessarily both at the same time.
摘要:
A multi-functional apparatus employs an electromagnetic device. The electromagnetic device selectively causes movement of an intermittent motion mechanism thereby moving a mechanical device coupled thereto. In another aspect of the present invention, a single electric motor selectively actuates three intermittent motion mechanisms thereby causing three mechanical devices coupled thereto to operate. In a further aspect of the present invention, a clutch mechanism selectively drives a window wiper. A method for operating the multi-functional apparatus of the present invention is also provided.
