  • Patent number: 11926249
    Abstract: A system may include an adjustable headrest assembly. The adjustable headrest assembly may include a headrest center bracket, a left vertical side plate track, a left headrest side plate assembly including a left headrest side plate, a right vertical side plate track, and a right headrest side plate assembly including a right headrest side plate. The left headrest side plate may be configured to move up and down relative to the left vertical side plate track based on the engagement of the left headrest side plate assembly with the left vertical side plate track. The right headrest side plate may be configured to move up and down relative to the right vertical side plate track based on the engagement of the right headrest side plate assembly with the right vertical side plate track.

  • Patent number: 8893061
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention overcome I/O bottlenecks of an EDA work flow by keeping layout data distributed during handoffs among different processing stages. Specifically, some embodiments leverage a concurrent computation paradigm where data is propagated incrementally between stages, and where data processing among consecutive stages and the I/O between stages are executed concurrently. Specifically, different data processing stages can partition the layout data differently, and portions of the layout data that are not required by a data processing stage can be either passed-through or passed-around the data processing stage.

  • Patent number: 8001911
    Abstract: A shelf is connected to risers that are interference fit together to achieve a clamping effect between the shelves and the risers. Each shelf may comprise a plastic shelf portion and at least one reinforcement portion secured to the plastic shelf portion to reinforce the plastic shelf portion along its length. In one embodiment a plurality of metal bars are used as the reinforcement portion having a tapered end. The reinforcement portions may be inserted into channels formed in the plastic shelve portions and secured to the shelf portions using an interference fit.

  • Patent number: 6850825
    Abstract: An improved method of selectively suppressing deployment of a vehicular inflatable restraint utilizes dynamic variation in the apparent weight of a vehicle occupant to infer a free mass of the seat occupant. The free mass of the occupant is inferred by filtering out portions of a weight-responsive signal due to occupant position adjustment and inferring the occupant free mass based on the variation of the apparent weight with respect to the variation in vertical acceleration of the vehicle. The decision to allow or suppress deployment of the restraint is determined based on a comparison of the static weight reading with at least one threshold, and the occupant free mass is used to adjust the threshold in a direction to minimize the overall variability of the system. Measures of the seat belt tension and the seat temperature are also be used to adjust the threshold in a direction to minimize system variability.
