There is disclosed an insert suitable for use within a seating system of an automotive vehicle.

Automotive vehicle seat insert

There is disclosed an automotive vehicle seating comfort system for providing heating, cooling, ventilation or a combination thereof to an individual in an automotive car seat. The system typically includes an insert, a blower and a tubular structure for providing fluid communication between the insert and blower for providing ventilation and/or cooling for the individual. Preferably, the insert includes a heater or heater layer for providing heat for the individual.

Automotive vehicle seating comfort system

A vehicle seat with a backrest ( 16 ) that has a backrest cushion ( 18 ) and a rear backrest cover ( 20 ), and an air-handling device that is associated with the backrest ( 16 ) and is connected to an air distribution device ( 30, 32 ) in the seat. The rear backrest cover ( 20 ) is at least partially air permeable, and covers at least one passage ( 27 ) of the air-handling device ( 23 ). The air exchanged between the environment and the air-handling device ( 23 ) passes for the most part through the air-permeable regions of the backrest cover ( 20 ).

Vehicle seat and associated air conditioning apparatus

There is disclosed a comfort system suitable for use in a seat of an automotive vehicle. The system preferably includes an air mover in fluid communication with an open space below a trim layer of the seat for providing ventilation, heating and/or cooling to the seat occupant.

Methods and systems to model and acquire data from a variety of data and information sources, to integrate the data into a structured database, and to manage the continuing reintegration of updated data from those sources over time. For any given domain, a variety of individual information and data sources that contain information relevant to the schema can be identified. Data elements associated with a schema may be identified in a training source, such as by user tagging. A formal grammar may be induced appropriate to the schema and layout of the training source. A Hidden Markov Model (HMM) corresponding to the grammar may learn where in the sources the elements can be found. The system can automatically mutate its schema into a grammar matching the structure of the source documents. By following an inverse transformation sequence, data that is parsed by the mutated grammar can be fit back into the original grammar structure, matching the original data schema defined through domain modeling. Features disclosed herein may be implemented with respect to web-scraping and data acquisition, and to represent data in support of data-editing and data-merging tasks. A schema may be defined with respect to a graph-based domain model.

A seat air conditioning unit includes a seat defining an air passage therein through which air flows toward a seat surface, and first and second blower units for blowing air in the air passage. The first blower unit is provided in a seat bottom of the seat and the second blower unit is provided in a backrest of the seat. The first blower unit includes one of a centrifugal fan, a mixed flow fan, and a regeneration fan. The second blower unit includes an axial flow fan.

Electric heaters and blower units are disposed inside an occupant seat having exterior cover members, each of which has a plurality of outlet openings. Each electric heater heats the corresponding exterior cover member, and each blower unit blows air through the outlet openings of the corresponding cover member. Manipulation dials are provided to manipulate the corresponding electric heaters and blower units. A variable heating power command signal, which commands increasing or decreasing of a heating power of each corresponding electric heater, and a variable flow rate command signal, which commands increasing or decreasing of an air flow rate of each corresponding blower unit, are generated through adjustment manipulation of the manipulation dial in synchronism with movement of the manipulation dial.

Light control glasses are used as window glasses of a vehicle When the vehicle is parked, voltage is applied to the light control glass, which directly receives solar radiation from the sun, so that a light transmittancy of the light control glass is reduced to reduce the amount of solar radiation entered a passenger compartment of the vehicle

System for limiting an increase in the inside air temperature of passenger compartment of vehicle

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrict a temperature rise in a cabin during parking SOLUTION: During parking, sun beams radiated into the cabin are shielded by sunshades 1 and light control glass, and the cabin is ventilated Temperature rises at seats, instrument panels, inner walls (interior members), etc, having relatively large heat capacities can thus be prevented A further rise in cabin air temperature due to radiation heat from the seats, the instrument panels, etc, can also be restricted A large temperature rise in the cabin during parking can thus be prevented COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Cabin temperature rise restricting device

Seat (200a) and back (200b) sections form an air channel (201), for air flowing to their surfaces. A fan (310) under the seat blows air into the channel (201). A second fan (320) on the back, blows air into its channel section. The first fan is a centrifugal unit, a mixer-fan or a recycling fan, the second is an axial fan.
