Abstract: A technique for providing localized stiffening of a vehicle trim panel, especially for high curvature areas. The vehicle trim panel includes an outer panel having an outer show surface and an inner surface. A plurality of discrete reinforcement elements are bonded to the inner surface of the outer panel at locations where localized stiffening is desired. The discrete elements can come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, where the combination of elements and the number of elements is selected for a particular trim panel stiffness.

Abstract: A method of displaying augmented reality images as captured by a primary image capture device. An image is captured exterior of a vehicle by the primary image capture device. The primary image capture device capturing an image of a driver's side adjacent lane. Determining, by a processor, a size of the primary augmented reality image to be displayed to the driver. Generating a primary augmented reality image displayed on a driver side image plane at a depth exterior of the vehicle. The primary augmented reality image generated on the driver side image plane is at a respective distance from the driver side window.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an elastic medium and hollow particles of a shape memory alloy (SMA) at least to dampen any of sound wave propagation through the elastic medium or vibration transmitted through the elastic medium. The hollow particles are incorporated into the elastic medium. The SMA has an Austenite finish temperature (Af) that is lower than a temperature encountered in an application in which the apparatus is used so that the SMA exhibits stress-induced superelasticity.
