Abstract: A display assembly for an automotive interior includes a cover substrate comprising a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface; and a support structure. The support structure comprises a plurality of frame portions adhered to separate regions of the second major surface via an adhesive layer to retain the cover substrate in a curved configuration. A shear joint couples two of the plurality of frame portions to one another, the shear joint being configured to maintain a mechanical connection between the two frame portions despite bending stresses being present in the cover substrate, while permitting the two frame portions to move relative to one another along at least a first axis. A gap in the adhesive layer is disposed proximate to the shear joint, the gap decoupling thermally-induced strain distributions of different segments of the adhesive layer from one another via the shear joint.

Abstract: An extended reality (XR) neural perceptual feedback (NPF) system includes an XR system and a neural interface. The XR system presents a virtual environment to the user and monitors the user's interactions with the virtual environment. Based on the interaction with the virtual environment, the neural interface applies stimulation to the nervous system of the user. For example, a stimulation pattern may be selected based on the type of interaction, what type of virtual object the interaction was with, or combinations thereof. The stimulation may cause a percept in the user, allowing them to have perceptual feedback from interacting with the virtual environment. The neural interface may also be used to direct interactions within the virtual environment, for example using neural signal decoding to determine how to update the virtual environment.

A rotational structure which has lockout tabs to prevent individual rotational axis from being rotated depending on the configuration of the input device. These aspects may provide a reconfigurable direction pad for a game controller.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a barrier assembly that can be selectively secured near an opening of a cargo container and selectively deployable near the opening of the cargo container (e.g., along the rear and/or side of the cargo container) to control access to the space therein and to help secure cargo contained within the space. The barrier assembly can include one or two panels that can permit the barrier assembly to wrap, bend, or flexibly extend around cargo. In at least some examples, at least one panel can be hingedly affixed to a side of the cargo container, such that the panel can rotate between a stowed position and a deployed position. In examples, the panel is also slidably connected to the side of the cargo container, such that a fore-aft position of the panel can be adjusted and customized to the cargo.
