Abstract: A device holder assembly that includes a body and a housing coupled to the body. A drive assembly is rotatably coupled to the housing. A leg assembly that includes a first leg and a second leg is coupled to the housing. A first rack gear is coupled to the first leg and the drive assembly. A second rack gear is coupled to the second leg and the drive assembly. The drive assembly permits instantaneous movement of the first leg and the second leg. A first finger is rotatably coupled to the first leg and a second finger is coupled to the second leg. The first finger has a first finger outer surface and the second finger has a second finger outer surface that are generally coplanar with the body outer surface when the first finger and the second finger are in a retracted position.

Abstract: A vehicle window system may include a switching mechanism having a plurality of window selector buttons each corresponding to one of a plurality of windows, and a single drive button for receiving input to move one or more of the windows according to statuses of the selector buttons. The window system may also include a controller configured to lock one of the windows in response to an indication that the window selector button corresponding to the one of the windows has been depressed for at least a predefined amount of time.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle is provided having a vehicle body with a passenger compartment between a vehicle floor, a vehicle roof and side pillars. A pair of passenger seats are oriented within the passenger compartment with a center console mounted therebetween. A central structural pillar extends from the center console to the vehicle roof for supporting a central region of the vehicle roof. A ducting assembly is provided with a central duct extending upward from the center console adjacent to the pair of passenger seats and in fluid communication with a heating and cooling system. An outlet port is provided on the central duct for directing the air to the seating row.

Abstract: A passenger vehicle is provided with a body having front and rear ends with an interior and a rear cargo region that includes a load floor. A rear opening provides access to the rear cargo region and a rear wall extends above the load floor and defines a lower peripheral region of the opening. A closure member is connected to the vehicle body for enclosing the opening. An adjustable load floor member has a retracted position along the load floor, and an extended position aligned with a lower peripheral region for assisting loading of cargo into the rear cargo region. A passenger vehicle is provided with an adjustable load floor member having a retracted position along the load floor, and an extended position for dividing the rear cargo region into at least two compartments.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a system and method for dynamically identifying the best search engines and searchable databases for a given query comprising a model where given a query, the more relevant search engines and searchable databases will be retrieved and presented as response to the query.
