Abstract: Disclosed is a carrier component for use in a vehicle sealing assembly such as a weatherstrip assembly. The carrier is formed from a non-metallic material, and preferably from a polymeric material. Also disclosed are vehicular sealing assemblies utilizing such carriers, and related methods of forming such sealing assemblies.

Abstract: A manual windowing with auto-segmentation assistance method and system are disclosed that include defining manual tags to be assigned to one or more windows via a tag selection module, assigning the defined manual tags to the one or more windows via a manual tag assignment module and auto-segmenting the one or more windows within the display medium by producing auto-segmentation tags via the auto-segmentation module. Furthermore the method and system according to this invention provide for mapping tags to the auto-segmentation tags via a tag mapping module and merging the manual tags and the auto-segmentation tags via a merging module.

Abstract: Methods for forming a composite extrusion for use as a glass run channel in an automobile and the products formed thereby are disclosed in which a main body member is formed from an elastomeric thermoset rubber and an abrasion resistant layer comprised of a crosslinkable thermoplastic or a high ethylene content EPDM rubber extruded thereon. The crosslinkable thermoplastic may be a moisture crosslinkable polyethylene containing grafted silane functional groups. The abrasion resistant layer may be extruded onto the thermoset either prior to or after the thermoset is cured and either prior to or after the abrasion resistant layer is crosslinked. The material of the abrasion resistant layer may be extruded into tape form and laminated onto the main body member.
