Abstract: The disclosure relates to adjusting a vehicle seat configuration inside a vehicle. The vehicle seat configuration can comprise a vehicle seat and an actuator system for adjusting the vehicle seat configuration. The actuator system can comprise at least one actuator, and the at least one actuator can comprise a brushless electric motor. A corresponding method can comprise receiving, by a controller comprising a processor, at least one signal indicative of a collision situation of the vehicle, and providing, by the controller, upon receival of the at least one signal, control instructions for the actuator system to adjust the vehicle seat configuration.

Abstract: A siderail member for a subframe assembly of a vehicle, including: an elongate body, wherein the elongate body includes a hollow extruded structure including an inboard wall, an outboard wall, a top wall, a bottom wall, and one or more internal walls. Optionally, the bottom wall has a thickness that is greater than a thickness of the top wall. Optionally, the outboard wall has a thickness that is greater than a thickness of the inboard wall. Optionally, the one or more internal walls include a top internal wall and a bottom internal wall forming a plurality of horizontally-disposed cells within an interior of the elongate body. The bottom internal wall has a thickness that is greater than a thickness of the top internal wall. The hollow extruded structure is manufactured from an aluminum material. Optionally, the top wall of the hollow extruded structure defines a flexure recess.

Abstract: A support extrusion for a subframe structure of a vehicle and methods of fabricating the same. In one example, a support extrusion can comprise a multicell structure that facilitates coupling the support extrusion with a rear crossmember of the subframe structure. The multicell structure can comprise a front cell column and a rear cell column that intervenes between the front cell column and the rear crossmember in a longitudinal direction of the subframe structure. The front cell column can comprise a trigger that facilitates plastically deforming the front cell column downward in a vertical direction of the subframe structure when subjected to impact forces of a frontal crash.
