Abstract: Methods and computer-readable media are provided that enable a game console to send, receive and process a customized message. In one such method, an instruction to generate a message to be sent to a receiving game console is received. The message, which includes a recipient identifier, text relating to a game-specific function, a custom action associated with the game-specific function and a data payload that is adapted to be processed by a receiving destination is generated. The message is sent to a receiving game console identified by the recipient identifier by way of a game console messaging service.

Abstract: A vehicle airbag assembly, method of deployment and manufacture. The airbag assembly includes at least one inflatable portion and at least one non-inflatable portion. At least one mass is operably attached to the non-inflatable portion. Upon inflation of the inflatable portion, the mass provides a substantial tautness to the non-inflatable portion. The deployment method includes providing at least one inflatable portion and at least one non-inflatable portion. The airbag assembly is operably attached to the vehicle. A mass operably attached to the non-inflatable portion is provided. The inflatable portion is inflated. The non-inflatable portion of the airbag is extended substantially taut upon inflation of the inflatable portion with the mass. The manufacturing method includes forming at least one inflatable portion and at least one non-inflatable portion. At least one mass is operably attached to the non-inflatable portion.
