  • Publication number: 20230256878
    Abstract: A vehicle interior component configured for response in event of a side impact may comprise an armrest assembly for a door panel. The armrest assembly may comprise a base section and an armrest section and a region configured for response to side impact at the door panel. The region may comprise a movable/deformable structure. Response of the armrest assembly may comprise deformation to partially absorb force and/or movement of the armrest section relative to the base section to partially cover the base section. The armrest assembly may comprise a carrier and/or mechanism to attach the armrest section to the door panel. The carrier/mechanism may be configured to guide/direct movement of the armrest section and/or to partially absorb the side impact force. The mechanism may comprise a set of pins movable within a set of slots to provide for movement of the armrest section.

  • Patent number: 11548488
    Abstract: A control device for a first motorized pressure build-up device of a braking system of a vehicle. The control device is designed to output at least one first piece of information to an activation device of a second motorized pressure build-up device of the braking system by, under consideration of the respective first piece of information, a first motor activatable in such a way that a pressure prevailing in at least one partial volume of the braking system is varied in accordance with a pressure change signal, which is interpretable as the respective first piece of information for the activation device using a second pressure sensor unit of the second motorized pressure build-up device.

  • Patent number: 9275366
    Abstract: Example systems and methods of extracting and processing data are described. In one implementation, a method accesses genealogy data (which includes a root node) associated with multiple data sources. The genealogy data is expanded from the root node. The method identifies data objects associated with the genealogy data and identifies a simplification rule to apply to the genealogy data. Data objects in the genealogy data that satisfy the simplification rule are identified by the method. A simplified representation of the genealogy data is generated by replacing each identified data object with a link to a predecessor data object.
