Abstract: A system and method for process control using multiple levels of control is disclosed. The system utilizes a first level of control which provides a dosing regimen based solely on volume. A second level uses predictive analysis or other such tools to predict a dosing regimen. A third level uses an array of small scale testing to test various dosing regimens to determine which one is optimal. If a disruption event occurs for the second or third level, or the system is off-line, the system reverts back to the first level control.

Abstract: The invention provides for an apparatus and method for attaching a Passenger Side Inflatable Restraint (PSIR) chute. In one embodiment an automotive interior component comprises an automotive instrument panel having an outer surface and an inner surface. The automotive interior component further comprises an automotive PSIR hidden chute assembly contained behind the automotive instrument panel, wherein the PSIR hidden chute assembly has a chute and at least one PSIR door. The chute is connected to the inner surface of the automotive instrument panel. The automotive interior component further comprises a tuning clip connected to the chute and configured to engage the PSIR door. Engagement of the tuning clip to the PSIR door reduces deflection of the automotive instrument panel visible on the outer surface by biasing the PSIR door upward.
