  • Seat vibration dampening system and method for controlling same
    Patent number: 12145490
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a vehicle seat vibration dampening system including a vibration sensor that senses vibration of a vehicle seat generated by movement of a vehicle on a roadway, wherein the vibration sensor generates a signal indicative of the sensed vibration, a controller that determines, based on the signal generated by the vibration sensor, a counter vibration to dampen the sensed vibration of the vehicle seat and, based on the determination, produces a control signal to effect generation of the counter vibration, and a transducer that generates the counter vibration of the vehicle seat in response to the control signal to dampen the sensed vibration of the vehicle seat.

  • Seat adjuster
    Patent number: 11564499
    Abstract: A seat adjuster may include a support member and a fluid bladder. The support member may have a first end and a second end. The first end and the second end may be connectable to a seat frame such that the support member is disposed at least partially below a suspension portion of said seat frame. The fluid bladder may be disposed at least partially between the support member and said suspension portion. The fluid bladder may be configured to support said suspension portion. A change or adjustment of a volume of the fluid bladder may change or adjust the support provided to said suspension portion.
