20100270841SEAT ASSEMBLY HAVING A MOVABLE HEAD RESTRAINT - A vehicle head restraint assembly is provided with a first guide member mounted proximate to a vehicle seat back and a second guide member mounted to the first guide member for movement in fore and aft direction. One of the guide members has a series of notches. A head restraint is mounted to the second guide member. A locking mechanism is mounted to the other guide member for extending into one of the notches. A biasing member biases the locking mechanism in engagement with the notches. An actuator is mounted to one of the guide members for actuation from one lateral side of the head restraint and cooperates with the locking mechanism such that linear actuation of the actuator from one lateral side results in symmetrical compression of the biasing member for disengaging the locking mechanism from the notches for permitting fore and aft adjustment of the head restraint.10-28-2010
20100270842SEAT ASSEMBLY HAVING A MOVABLE HEAD RESTRAINT - An adjustable head restraint assembly is provided with a support rod adapted to be mounted proximate to a vehicle seat back. A primary frame is supported on the support rod. A secondary frame is mounted to the primary frame for translation in a fore and aft direction. A locking arm is pivotally connected to one of the frames for engagement with a series of notches formed in the other. A biasing member cooperates with a locking arm for biasing the locking arm into a locked position. An actuator pivots the locking arm out of engagement from the series of notches for unlocking the locking arm and permitting adjustment of the adjustable head restraint in the fore and aft direction. The primary frame translates along the support rod with a locking arm for engagement with notches in the support rod for movement by the actuator for adjustment in an upright direction.10-28-2010
20100301654SEAT ASSEMBLY HAVING A MOVEABLE HEAD RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY - A seat assembly having a seat back and a head restraint assembly disposed on the seat back. The head restraint assembly includes a support post and a headrest disposed on the support post. The headrest is inhibited from moving away from a head of a seat occupant until the headrest is actuated toward the head of the seat occupant.12-02-2010
20110089737SEAT ASSEMBLY HAVING AN ADJUSTABLE HEAD RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY - A seat assembly that includes a seat back, a support post disposed on the seat back, and a headrest moveably disposed on the support post. The headrest includes first and second transverse members disposed on the support post and a spindle assembly rotatably associated with the first and second transverse members. The spindle assembly rotates to permit movement of the headrest.04-21-2011
20110109143SEAT ASSEMBLY HAVING A MOVEABLE HEAD RESTRAINT - A seat assembly having a moveable headrest assembly disposed on a support post. The headrest assembly has a latching mechanism configured to engage the support post to inhibit movement of the headrest assembly in a first direction.05-12-2011
20120007403SEAT ASSEMBLY HAVING A GUIDE BUSHING - A seat assembly having a guide bushing. The guide bushing has a body and a biasing member. The body has an opening for receiving a support post and first and second engagement features that are configured to flex. The biasing member exerts a biasing force on the first and second engagement features to bias the first and second engagement features.01-12-2012
20120007404SEAT ASSEMBLY HAVING A BUTTON ASSEMBLY - A seat assembly having a button assembly. The button assembly includes a bezel having a ramp feature and a button having a feedback arm that engages the ramp feature. Movement of at least a portion of a seat component is permitted when sufficient force is applied to the button.01-12-2012

20110261050Intermediate View Synthesis and Multi-View Data Signal Extraction - An intermediate view synthesis apparatus for synthesizing an intermediate view image from a first image corresponding to a first view and a second image corresponding to a second view different from the first view, the first and second images including depth information, wherein the second image being is divided-up into a non-boundary portion, and a foreground/background boundary region, wherein the intermediate view synthesis apparatus is configured to project and merge the first image and the second image into the intermediate view to obtain an intermediate view image, with treating the foreground/background boundary region subordinated relative to the non-boundary portion. A multi-view data signal extraction apparatus for extracting a multiview data signal from a multi-view representation including a first image corresponding to a first view and a second image corresponding to a second view being different from the first view is also described, the first and second images including depth information.10-27-2011
