Abstract: Systems for producing M yarns, wherein M ≥ 1, include N extruders, M spin stations, and a processor, wherein N > 1. Each extruder includes a thermoplastic polymer having a color, hue, and/or dyability characteristic, which are different from each other. Each spin station produces one yarn comprising at least one bundle of filaments. Each spin station comprises at least one spinneret through which filaments are spun from at least two molten thermoplastic polymer streams received by the respective spin station and N spin pumps upstream of the spinneret for the respective spin station. Each spin pump is paired with one of the N extruders. The processor is in electrical communication with the N*M spin pumps and is configured to adjust the volumetric flow rate of the polymers pumped from each spin pump to achieve a ratio of the polymers to be included in each M yarn.

Abstract: A steering wheel assembly has a central hub configured to connect to a steering column, at least one retractable hand grip attached to the central hub, one or more control cables disposed internal of each retractable hand grip, and a drive mechanism connected to the control cables. The drive mechanism is located either at or in the central hub or remotely relative to the steering wheel assembly. The drive mechanism when activated can selectively move one or more of the control cables to move the retractable grips to a retracted position or a non-retracted position. Optionally, the hand grips can be connected directly to the central hub and/ or to one or more spokes extending form the central hub. Each of the retractable hand grips has at least one and up to four control cables.

Abstract: Various implementations include systems and methods for simultaneously applying an electric field and localized energy from an energy source to ceramic particles on a layer by layer basis to form a ceramic workpiece using additive manufacturing. The workpiece may be freely removed from the unsintered ceramic particles. In some implementations, the workpiece is partially densified when removed from the unsintered ceramic particles, but it may be heated until fully densified. According to some implementations, these systems and methods remove or reduce the need for binders and reduce manufacturing time.

Abstract: Various implementations utilize electromagnetic energy in the microwave and/or radio frequency (RF) spectrum to volumetrically solidify selective regions of a base material powder bed (e.g., polymer or ceramic). When they are dry, base materials utilized in powder bed fusion and other additive manufacturing processes are relatively transparent to microwave and RF energy, making it very difficult to heat them with those energy sources. However, mixing or doping the base material powders with conducting particles, such as graphite or carbon black, enhances energy absorption at microwave and radio frequencies, enabling heating and melting. Thus, volumetric additive manufacturing may be achieved by selectively doping a 3D powder bed with energy- absorbing particles in the shape of the desired object and exposing the powder bed to microwave and/or RF energy fields, such that the doped regions are volumetrically sintered into desired objects, leaving the surrounding powder unaffected.

Abstract: Various implementations relate to an operator monitoring system (OMS). Certain implementations include an OMS coupled to a rotatable portion of a steering wheel assembly of a vehicle. For example, the OMS may include an imaging unit, such as a camera, that is coupled to a central hub portion of the steering wheel assembly. The imaging unit has a field of view directed toward one or more occupants in the vehicle and is configured to capture an image signal corresponding to an imaging area in the field of view. The imaging area can be configured to encapsulate an expected position of one or more vehicle occupants. The OMS also includes one or more processing units in electrical communication with the imaging unit that receives and processes the image signal from the imaging unit to determine an occupant state and, in some implementations, provide feedback based on the determined occupant state.

Abstract: In various implementations, a self-coupling initiator includes one or more integrated features that allow the initiator to be installed within a housing tube without a forming or fastening operation. For example, in some implementations, the integrated features are able to be coupled to a drop protection cap. The drop protection cap extends around at least a portion of a head portion of the initiator and abuts the structure of the outer housing so that force imparted on the drop protection cap from a drop test is transferred to a direct compression load on the cap and housing, instead of the force being transferred to the initiator. In addition, in some implementations, the initiator may include one or more clip features that allow the initiator to clip into the housing. In such embodiments, the drop protection cap may also prevent the clips from being disengaged with the housing.
