Abstract: Systems, method and computer readable medium are provided for automated storage and retrieval. User authentication information is received via a user interface for a dynamic storage and retrieval device. The user identity is verified based upon the authentication information and previously stored authentication data. Order information is retrieved for an order associated with the user following the verifying of user identity, the order information indicating one or more locations for items associated with the order. Instructions are transmitted to initiate a physical opening of at least one of the dynamic storage and retrieval device and at least one static storage location to enable the user to retrieve at least one item of the order, the static storage location including a controller controlling a locking mechanism and communicatively coupled to the dynamic storage and retrieval device.

Abstract: A vehicle seat having a vehicle seat base comprising a generally concave seat pan (4) and side plates (16) fixed to the seat pan for mounting the seat pan to the vehicle wherein the seat pan has, all relative to the direction of movement of the vehicle, a front face, a rear face, two lateral side faces and a bottom face, and wherein the side plates extend from the front towards the rear of the seat pan and are bonded to the lateral side faces along at least part of the length of each of the side plates. This produces a lightweight yet rigid seat base which enables a low block height.

Abstract: A seat back for a vehicle seat comprising a panel (4) and a frame structure (6, 8, 10), the frame structure being formed of two metal tubes (6, 8) having first ends joined together by a crossmember ((10) and second ends joined together by a first member to form a tapering framework which is wide at the bottom of the seat back and narrow at the top of the seat back, wherein there is no cross-bracing of the frame between the top and bottom of the seat back. The framework is mounted to the panel such that in use the second ends are positioned near the lower portion of the seat back and the first ends are positioned towards the upper portion of the seat back.
