  • Patent number: 6779901
    Abstract: A position sensing device for a mirror assembly displaced by an electric motor for a mirror assembly having a memory unit which relies upon position information. The position sensing device connects directly between the housing reinforcement member and the mirror glass. The position sensing device also includes inherent damping capabilities. A dampening assembly provides additional damping capabilities, thereby further limiting vibration of the mirror due to road and wind vibration.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6484335
    Abstract: A pillow apparatus includes a pillow unit which includes a first pillow end and a second pillow end which are situated along a longitudinal pillow axis. The pillow unit also includes a front pillow face and a rear pillow face. A first strap is connected to the first pillow end, and a second strap is connected to the second pillow end. The pillow unit can include a pillow housing and a pillow cushion retained in the pillow housing. A pocket assembly is connected to the pillow unit. The pocket assembly includes a zipper or Velcro fastener. The pocket assembly is connected to the rear pillow face. Each of the first strap and the second strap includes a respective strap length first connector and a strap length second connector. The first strap and the second strap are connected to the respective pillow ends by respective strap-mounted connectors.
