  • Patent number: 11833943
    Abstract: A seat trim cover for a vehicle seat comprises a molded foam backing formed on a cover material blank that has been vacuum-formed into a 3-dimensional shape. The cover material blank has been pre-cut into a predefined shape having a predefined selvage extending around an outer periphery of the cover material blank. The molded foam backing is spaced apart from the predefined selvage of the cover material blank forming a foam-free selvage. The molded foam backing includes a stepped edge profile having a first surface defining a first sewing alignment feature and a second surface defining a second alignment feature. The first sewing alignment feature is spaced apart from the second sewing alignment feature.

  • Patent number: 11427117
    Abstract: A seat trim cover having a 3-dimensional shape for an automotive vehicle seat is formed by pre-cutting a laminate blank into a predefined shape having a predefined selvage extending around an outer periphery of the laminate blank, vacuum forming the laminate blank in a 3-dimensional mold to form a 3-dimensional laminate blank, and forming a molded foam backing on the 3-dimensional shaped laminate blank to form the seat trim cover. The molded foam backing has an outer perimeter that is spaced apart from the predefined selvage such that the predefined selvage is free of foam.

  • Patent number: 10291665
    Abstract: Systems and methods for increasing a visibility of a content item with a comment by a close contact are provided. In some aspects, a first content item is received. A ranking for the first content item in a stream for a viewing user is determined based on an upload time of the first content item. A comment for the first content item is received from a first user, where a predicted affinity level of the viewing user for the first user is within an affinity level range. In response to receiving the comment, the ranking for the first content item in the stream for the viewing user is updated based on an upload time of the comment. The stream is provided for the viewing user.
