  • Publication number: 20200141349
    Abstract: A method of forming an insulated composite piston head may include: creating a preformed aluminum or aluminum alloy foam core; suspending the preformed foam core in a piston head mold; forming a molded piston head and removing it from the mold; depositing an insulating material on at least one surface of the molded piston head; performing at least one machining operation on the molded piston head so it conforms to a predetermined specification for the insulated composite piston head; and optionally applying a lubricious piston coating to at least a portion of the outer surface of the insulated composite piston head.

  • Patent number: 10544752
    Abstract: An insulated composite piston head that includes three or more layers is formed and used in a combustion engine. The first layer is an aluminum or aluminum alloy foam core. The second layer is a metal layer that at least partially encapsulates the foam core; wherein the metal layer is selected to be aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The third layer is a layer of an insulating material located on at least one surface of the metal layer. The deposition of the insulating layer is accomplished via the use of a coaxial laser process.

  • Patent number: 10118511
    Abstract: A seat device for a vehicle includes: a seat cushion and a seat base of a rear row seat, the seat base mounted on a floor of a vehicle standing upward from the floor and forming a support structure of the seat cushion; a movable cushion portion forming a sitting surface for a passenger; a seat-cushion-moving mechanism to rotate and translate the movable cushion portion so that the movable cushion portion moves between a seating position, an extended position, and a tray position. In particular, a passenger sits on the movable cushion portion in the seating position, the movable cushion portion rotates away from the seat base in the forward direction to expose a lower side of the movable cushion portion in the extended position, and the tray position is obtained when the movable cushion portion translates rearwardly from the extended position with the lower side remaining exposed.
