TL;DR: In this paper, an Independent claim is made for a process for determination of the characteristics of a vehicle occupant, where a first capacitor sensor is arranged in the dashboard, the capacitance of which generates a signal used in determining a first distance.
Abstract: Device has a first capacitor sensor arranged in the dashboard, the capacitance of which generates a signal used in determining a first distance. A second capacitor sensor is arranged on a second side of the seat and has a capacitance that is used to determine a second distance. The distances are used to determine characteristics of the seat occupant. An Independent claim is made for a process for determination of the characteristics of a vehicle occupant.

TL;DR: In this paper, a single modular unit having a single display and several dual function potentiometers for controlling various functions of a radio and an HVAC climate control system is presented.
Abstract: A single modular unit having a single display and several dual function potentiometers for controlling various functions of a radio and an HVAC climate control system. More real estate is made available in the instrument panels trim and dashboard for other components such as a refrigerated compartment, navigation system display units, cellular phone compartments and so forth where prior art HVAC switches were located. Further, a single modular system incorporating controls for the radio and the HVAC simplifies the vehicle assembly process in that a single unit can be shipped to and installed into the vehicle instead of two separate units.

TL;DR: In this article, an attachment for the steering wheel of a vehicle for preventing facial, head, eye and chest injury to a driver in the event of sudden impact with a vehicle is presented.
Abstract: An attachment for the steering wheel of a vehicle for preventing facial, head, eye and chest to a driver in the event of sudden impact of a vehicle. A buffer pad of energy absorbing material such as a foam rubber or a polyurethane foam is attached to the steering wheel on the operator side with clearance for gripping the wheel and an oval opening is provided to allow visual access to the speedometer and dashboard gauges. The oval opening also will receive the facial features of a driver upon vehicle impact and thus protect the face against injury.
