Abstract: A U-shaped frame for a seat belt retractor has two spaced arms made from a material of a predetermined thickness and having a cutout in the material of each arm for receiving a lockbar. Each cutout has an edge comprising a land portion for supporting the lockbar, which land portion is of a reduced thickness compared to the thickness of the material of the arms, to present a reduced surface area to the lockbar. The frame may be of pressed steel and the lockbar of die-cast non-ferrous material.

Abstract: A method and system for Enterprise Information System Architecture provides a standardized enterprise information architecture with the ability to share data, provide a consistent user access method, connect application logic to data, provide a uniform method to connect interfaces with applications, interact with workflow, interact with external systems, provide a unified navigation architecture schema, provide a standard security schema, provide an integrated documentation methodology, and provide pathways for time-based processes for data, programs, workflow and documentation. This architecture provides a single overarching system with system development and diverse enterprise information system integration capabilities.
