  • Patent number: 10958070
    Abstract: A power system is disclosed that includes a chassis configured to house a first board, a second board, and a third board, in which the boards are electrically coupled to one another. The first board is configured to receive power and to output power at a first voltage and a second voltage. The second board is configured to receive power from the first board or at least one internal battery electrically coupled to the second board and to output power using at least two voltages. The third board is configured to receive power from the second board and to output power at two voltages. The boards include one or more converters configured to convert power. The one or more converters are thermally interfaced with one or more portions of the chassis so as to conduct heat into a respective portion of the chassis.

  • Patent number: 10118520
    Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly comprises a seat bottom having a bottom cushion, a seat back coupled to the seat bottom with the seat back having a back cushion, and at least one of the bottom cushion and the back cushion having a passage. The assembly further includes a flow control layer coupled to the cushion having the passage with the flow control layer defining a first support area having a first plurality of slits and a second support area, adjacent to the first support area, having a second plurality of slits. Each slit defines a width that is moveable between a restricted position and a free-flowing position. The width of the first slits can move to the free-flowing position while the width of the second slits remains in the restricted position when the first support area receives a first load for flowing air through the first slits and the passage.
