  • Publication number: 20250026247
    Abstract: A seat control apparatus includes a first driving part, a second driving part and a controller. The apparatus is configured to receive a user input on a walk-in mode through an input part, and based on the received user input, the apparatus controls a slide location of a seat to a walk-in location area corresponding to the walk-in mode by using the first driving part, and controls a reclining angle of the seat to a walk-in angle area corresponding to the walk-in mode by using the second driving part. In particular, when the user input is received again through the input part, the apparatus restores the reclining angle of the seat from the walk-in angle area to an un-walk-in angle area by using the second driving part.

  • Patent number: 10077331
    Abstract: A polyurethane filter foam is provided herein. The polyurethane filter foam may have improved permeability by having both a small cell and a large cell in a range for maximizing the opening property of the foam. In some instance, this is achieved by specifically configuring and foaming a composition of polyether polyol and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) to manufacture the polyurethane foam. The polyurethane foam of the present invention can be manufactured without performing a reticulation process.
