Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a floor assembly for a vehicle load space. The floor assembly includes a floor panel that is configurable in a lowered position, a first raised position and a second raised position. The floor assembly includes a first pivot means defining a first pivot axis about which the floor panel pivots from the lowered position to the first raised position. The floor assembly includes a second pivot means defining a second pivot axis about which the floor panel pivots from the lowered position to said second raised position. The floor panel can perform different functions in the first and second raised positions. The present disclosure also relates to a vehicle having a floor assembly. The floor assembly may be provided in the floor of the vehicle load space.

Abstract: An apparatus for a vehicle comprises a lid for covering an opening of a container and a panel pivotally attached to the lid to enable the panel to pivot between a stowed orientation, in which the panel extends alongside the first face of the lid, and a first deployed orientation, in which the panel extends at a positive angle to the first face of the lid. The apparatus also includes a cushion member and a cushion attachment mechanism attaching the cushion member to the lid. The cushion attachment mechanism is arranged to enable the cushion member to move between a stowed position and a deployed position.

Abstract: The present invention resides in a bulkhead assembly for a passenger vehicle, wherein the bulkhead assembly comprises a powered linkage assembly for reconfiguring the bulkhead assembly between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration. The bulkhead assembly is configurable to separate a passenger compartment and a luggage compartment of the passenger vehicle. The bulkhead assembly separates the passenger compartment and the luggage compartment in the unfolded configuration.

Abstract: An apparatus for retaining an item carried by a vehicle, a vehicle and a method. The apparatus comprises a rail and a strap anchored relative to the rail at a first anchor point. The apparatus also includes at least one component defining a passageway through which the strap extends, the at least one component being mounted to slide along the rail, towards and away from the first anchor point, to enable different items of various dimensions to be retained between the strap and the rail.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for the selective use of deconvolution to reduce crosstalk between features of an image. The method to select areas of an image for deconvolution comprising the steps of: a) providing an image comprising a plurality of features, wherein each feature is associated with at least one value (v); b) identifying a test feature which is a high-value feature adjacent to a known low-value zone of the image, wherein the test feature has a tail ratio (rt), which is the ratio of the value of the test feature (vt) to the value of the adjacent low-value zone of the image (vo); c) calculating a threshold value t which is a function of tail ratio (rt) of the test feature; and d) identifying selected areas of the image, the selected areas being those where the ratio of values (v) between adjacent features is greater than said threshold value (T(rt)). Typically, the method of the present invention additionally comprises the step of deconvolving the selected areas of the image.
