  • Publication number: 20240093515
    Abstract: A work surface for a vehicle includes a first section, a central section, and a first lock assembly. The first section includes a proximal edge and a distal edge. The first section defines a channel therein. The central section includes a first end and a second end. The first end of the central section is positioned adjacent to the proximal edge of the first section. The proximal edge of the first section is pivotably coupled to the first end of the central section. The first section is movable between a stowed position and a fully-deployed position relative to the central section. The first lock assembly is coupled to the central section. The first lock assembly includes a post that is operable between a retracted position and an extended position. The fully-deployed position of the first section arranges the channel defined by the first section to receive the post.

  • Publication number: 20240082130
    Abstract: A composition comprising: ? (i) 0.01 to 10 wt % of a branched cationic conditioning surfactant selected from structure 1 ?wherein: ??R1 and R2 comprise linear alkyl chains, saturated or unsaturated, with carbon-carbon chain lengths of from C4 to C20; ??R3 comprise either a proton or linear or branched alkyl chains, saturated or unsaturated, with carbon-carbon chain lengths of from C1 to C5; ??n has a range of from 0 to 10; ??XG is an organic or inorganic anion; ?(ii) 0.1 to 10 wt % of a linear fatty material having at least one linear carbon-carbon chain, selected from a linear fatty alcohol, a linear alkoxylated fatty alcohol, a linear fatty acid and mixtures thereof; ? (iii) 0.1 to 5 wt % of a nonionic structurant; and ? (iv) a particulate benefit agent selected from conditioning actives; wherein the molar ratio of branched cationic surfactants (i) to linear fatty material (ii) is in the range of from 1:20 to 1:1, results in improved particulate benefit agent deposition onto bleached hair.

  • Patent number: 11919473
    Abstract: An assembly for a vehicle includes a seatbelt buckle, a seatbelt retractor, and webbing retractably extendable from the seatbelt retractor and releasably engageable with the seatbelt buckle. The webbing is extendable from the seatbelt retractor from a fully retracted position toward an extended position. The assembly includes a vibration motor on the seatbelt buckle. The assembly includes a computer having a processor and memory including instructions executable by the processor to activate the vibration motor in response to movement of the webbing from the fully retracted position toward an extended position. The vibration motor provides haptic guidance to an occupant to engage the clip with the seatbelt buckle.
