Abstract: A seat assembly for a vehicle having a longitudinal axis has a seat pan, a cover support adjacent to the seat pan and a seat cover comprising an upper surface and a first longitudinally extending side surface and a second longitudinally extending side surface. A heating and cooling module is disposed at least partially within the cover support. An air inlet is in communication with the heating and cooling module. The air inlet communicates air from a port in the seat cover to the heating and cooling module. An ambient condition sensor generates an ambient condition signal. A user interface generates a user setting corresponding to a comfort condition. A controller is coupled to the ambient condition sensor and the heating and cooling module. The controller controls the heating and cooling module in response to the user setting and the ambient condition signal.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for preventing a rider's shoe from slipping sideways off of a bike pedal while also allowing a foot to be rapidly moved in a desired direction off the bike pedal without having to first disengage the shoe from the bike pedal or move the foot in a particular direction in order to disengage the shoe.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for dynamically debugging a multi-node network comprising an infrastructure including a plurality of devices, each device adapted for communicating messages between nodes which may include information for synchronizing a timing clock provided in each node. The apparatus comprises a plurality of probe links interconnecting each node with a probe device that monitors data included in each message communicated by a node. Each probe device processes data from each message to determine existence of a trigger condition at a node and, in response to detecting a trigger condition, generates a specialized message for receipt by all nodes in the network. Each node responds to the specialized message by halting operation at the node and recording data useful for debugging purposes. In this manner, debug information is collected at each node at the time of a first error detection and collected dynamically at execution time without manual intervention.
