Abstract: A power seat adjuster for bucket type vehicle seats includes inboard and outboard track assemblies each including a fixed lower section, a movable upper or movable section and a precision sliding interface including roller bearings between the moving upper track and the fixed lower track, the surfaces of the tracks that are engaged by the roller bearings being crowned to provide a bearing surface that is slightly convex when the seat is unoccupied but which becomes nearly flat when the seat is occupied, and the bearing surfaces of the track being coated with a multi-layer dry film lubricant including a base coating of an anti-friction material and a top coating of an anti-stick material.

Abstract: A process to form a body of thermoplastic polymeric fibers and improve the body's resistance to permanent deformation. The vehicle seat component of this invention is compressed twice at progressively greater pressures during the molding process in order to break and reform the bonds between the polymeric fibers.

Abstract: An improved method of making a more comfortable and easily recyclable body for a vehicle seat component using thermoplastic polymeric fibers is described. This method produces a body of thermoplastic polymeric fibers consisting of zones of different densities.

Abstract: A process of consistently producing in an economical manner a galvanized steel strip having on one side a thin uniform surface coating of zinc-iron intermetallic compounds containing at least 6 percent iron and being free of metallic zinc and having on the other side a formable metallic zinc surface coating which is formed by continuously immersing the steel strip in a hot-dip zinc coating bath in which the temperature of the steel strip and the coating bath are controlled within a limited range to avoid forming an exclusively thick zinc iron intermetallic layer during hot-dip coating which interferes with good formability of the metallic zinc surface coating and controlling the thickness and uniformity of the zinc coating which is transformed into the coating formed of zinc-iron intermetallic compounds within a range of 10 to 30 g/m.sup.2 while maintaining the variation in coating weight within a range of from 3 to 6 g/m.sup.2 and heating the strip rapidly to a peak temperature of between about 482.degree.
