Abstract: A vehicle headrest, including a center portion, two side members that attach to opposite ends of the center portion and that extend forward and retract backward and a locking mechanism in each side member that locks each side member independent of the other side member in multiple positions relative to the center portion.

Abstract: A seat including a seat back, a walk-in lever that releases the seat back so that the seat back may rotate, a slide mechanism having an upper rail and lower rail, a connection device between the seat back and a slide mechanism that releases the slide mechanism, a lock lever that rotates in response to rotation of the seat back, and a lock lever that rotates in response to rotation of the seat back. The seat configured so that rotation of the seat back in a forward direction by a predetermined amount releases the slide mechanism so that the seat may slide in a fore-aft direction. The slide mechanism configured so that, in the locked position, the lock lever directly contacts the lower rail such that forward force on the seat is directly transferred from the lock lever to the lower rail at the point of direct contact.

Abstract: A seat apparatus including an operating handle; a slot hole bracket including at least one inclined slot, the at least one profiled slot guides the operating handle in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction based on an inclined force on the operating handle; and one or more lock brackets movably attached to the operating handle and the slot hole bracket.

Abstract: A comfort recline seat including a seat back, a seat base, a pivotable connection point, a pivotable base structure, linkages, knuckle connectors may enable a seat base cushion and a seat back cushion to be manipulated to create a range of comfortable seating and bed-like surfaces. The seat may be configured such that the seat base cushion and the seat back cushion may be simultaneously adjusted together to reduce gaps or steps between the seat base cushion and the seat back cushion.

Abstract: A noise-cancellation headrest for a vehicle including a slidable side wing on a side of headrest; a plurality of microphones configured to detect an audio-noise signal and output a first plurality of electrical signals; a plurality of speakers configured to receive a second plurality of electrical signals and output an acoustic signal; and noise-cancellation circuitry configured to receive the first plurality of electrical signals and output the second plurality of electrical signals.

Abstract: A locking system including a latch assembly that actuates a cancel cable and thereby a cancel lever of a lock device includes a latch lever that has a first engaging surface and receives a striker positioned at the end of a rail of a vehicle, a cancel latch lever including an engagement tab that is engaged by the first engaging surface of the latch lever in an overstroke position of the latch lever, and a cancel cable that interrupts a transmission of power from an actuator to a lock device in accordance with a rotation of the latch cancel lever occurring from an engagement of the engagement tab with the engagement surface.

Abstract: A slide structure that slides a door of a vehicle, including a roller hinge attached to the door; a guide roller that rolls within a rail of the door; a cable end that transmits a sliding force to the roller hinge to slide the door; and a guide roller pin that attaches the guide roller and the cable end to the roller hinge.

Abstract: An outside handle of a door of a vehicle that opens a latch, including a rotatable flap that sits flush against an outer panel of the vehicle in a closed position and that provides an opening to an interior of the handle in an open position, and a rotating lever behind the outer panel, movement of the lever opening the latch of the door. The handle is arranged such that the flap rotates to the open position when the door is unlocked and rotates to the closed position when the door is locked.

Abstract: A seat including a seat back, a walk-in lever that releases the seat back so that the seat back may rotate, a slide mechanism having an upper rail and lower rail, a connection device between the seat back and a slide mechanism that releases the slide mechanism, a lock lever that rotates in response to rotation of the seat back, and a lock lever that rotates in response to rotation of the seat back. The seat configured so that rotation of the seat back in a forward direction by a predetermined amount releases the slide mechanism so that the seat may slide in a fore-aft direction.

Abstract: A seat including a power recliner, a power slide mechanism, a seat back; and a walk-in lever that releases the power recliner so that the seat back may rotate. The seat configured so that rotation of the seat back after being released by the walk-in lever in a forward direction by a predetermined amount releases the power slide mechanism so that the seat may slide in a fore-aft direction.

Abstract: A side camera of a vehicle, including a camera housing rotatable in a first axis and a second axis each relative to an exterior surface of the vehicle, and a camera attached to the camera housing that captures image data. The camera is positioned in a plurality of positions by rotating the camera housing along the first axis and the second axis.

Abstract: A slide return mechanism of a seat for a vehicle, the seat including a seat back and a seat base, the slide return mechanism including a recliner that reclines the seat back, a slide release lever that locks and unlocks the movement of a slide mechanism of the seat, and a stopper link. Rotation of the recliner causes the seat back to move downward, the slide release lever to unlock the slide mechanism, and the stopper link to move into position to prevent the seat from traveling in a rearward direction at a predetermined position.

Abstract: A release mechanism of a seat, including a two way motion actuator that moves in both a first direction and in a second direction; a recliner release mechanism that releases a recliner of the seat in response to the two way motion actuator moving in the first direction; and a slide release mechanism that releases a slide mechanism of the seat in response to the two way motion actuator moving in the second direction. The release mechanism also including a first unintentional movement prevention device that prevents the slide mechanism from being released when the two way motion actuator moves in the first direction; and a second unintentional movement prevention device that prevents the recliner from being released when the two way motion actuator moves in the second direction.

Abstract: The control device comprises an upshifting prohibiting portion for prohibiting the upshifting of the plurality of speed change stages, an engine rotation speed maintaining portion for maintaining an engine rotation speed to a predetermined rotation speed, an engine maximum torque value recording portion for recording a maximum torque value of the engine and an upshifting prohibition releasing portion for releasing an upshifting prohibition by the upshifting prohibiting portion when a differential torque value which is a difference between the maximum torque value of the engine recorded by the engine maximum torque value recording portion and a current engine torque value is greater than a predetermined torque value when the upshifting of the plurality of speed change stages is prohibited by the upshifting prohibiting portion.
