Abstract: A console table for a vehicle interior, including: a pair of deployable tables each pivotally mounted to an exterior of a housing of the console table, the pair of deployable tables being capable of moving from a stowed position wherein the pair of deployable tables are adjacent to the exterior of the housing of the console table to a deployed position wherein the pair of deployable tables are deployed for use.

Abstract: A method for non-contact adhesive activation and securement of a decorative skin to a part, including: applying an adhesive to a top surface of the part; applying the decorative skin to the adhesive after it have been applied to the top surface of the part; locating an upper heating element or elements of an upper heating plate or platen adjacent to the top surface of the part; locating a lower heating element or elements of a lower heating plate or platen adjacent to a bottom surface of the part, the bottom surface of the part being opposite to the top surface of the part; activating an adhesive located on the top surface of the part via the upper heating element or elements of the upper heating plate or platen and the lower heating element or elements of the lower heating plate or platen when the upper heating element or elements and the lower heating element or elements are adjacent to the part, wherein the upper heating plate or platen and the lower heating plate or platen do not contact the part and the

Abstract: A piston ring is formed from a steel substrate consisting of the carbon in a range of 0.80-0.95 wt. %, silicon in a range of 0.30-0.55 wt. %, manganese in a range of 0.25-0.5 wt. %, phosphorus in a range of up to 0.04 wt. %, sulfur in a range of up to 0.04 wt. %, chromium in a range of 17-18 wt. %, molybdenum in a range of 0.70-1.25 wt. %, vanadium in a range of 0.05-0.15%, the remainder iron. The ring has been through hardened and tempered so that it has a hardness of 46-54 HRC. A coating is then applied via PVD or other suitable methods onto the ring surface to create the finished piston ring.
