Abstract: A system may receive filter coefficients defining a digital filter. The system may select a signal processing quality criterion which describes a transformation that can be derived from an image and further describes the reconstruction of the image that can be derived from the transformation. The system may determine a degree of optimization that quantifies the signal processing quality criterion with the received filter coefficients. The system may vary the filter coefficients to obtain varied filter coefficients. The system may establish the degree of optimization with the varied filter coefficients. The system may compare the determined degree of optimization with the established degree of optimization.

Abstract: This invention relates to a flexible headliner for an automotive vehicle. The headliner includes a flexible foam core layer having a nominal thickness of greater than 5 millimeters. A cover layer is bonded to a first side of the core layer. A backing layer is bonded to a second side of the core layer opposite the first side. The headliner is sized and shaped to conform to an interior roof of the vehicle. The invention also relates to particular methods of forming the headliner in a mold.

Abstract: A modular headliner assembly includes a headliner having an appearance surface and a back surface. At least one component is disposed adjacent the back surface of the headliner. Furthermore, an integration sheet is attached to the back surface for securing the at least one component to the headliner. A method of manufacturing the headliner assembly is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a casing module (1), especially for a pillar (2) of a motor vehicle, comprising an accommodating space (3) for an airbag (4), a fastening device (5) for fastening the casing module to the pillar (2), and at least one pivotal section (6) which can swing outward and which forms at least one part of an outer wall (7) of the casing module (1) that is oriented toward the passenger compartment. The aim of the invention is to provided a casing module (1) which is easier to handle and construct and which, at the same time, ensures the deployment of the inflating airbag (4) in a reliable and controlled manner. To this end, the accommodating space (3) is arranged directly adjacent to the outer wall (7), and the pivotal section (6) forms at least one part of the accommodating space (3).
