Abstract: A restraint system includes a restraint, an anchor coupled to the restraint and movable along an anchor guide, an anchor energy-absorbing (EA) device configured to control movement of the anchor along the anchor guide, and a controller that includes a processor configured to receive information indicative of an imminent event, receive information indicative of a recline angle being above a recline threshold, and send a command to enable the anchor to move along the anchor guide under control of the anchor EA device based on the information indicative of the imminent event and the recline angle being above the recline threshold.

Abstract: A support assembly includes a bracket coupled to a structural portion. The bracket is configured to prevent relative motion between the end portion and the bracket when a first load is applied in a first direction, and the bracket is configured to allow relative motion between the end portion and the bracket when a second load is applied in a second direction that is different than the first direction. In some implementations, relative motion may be allowed when the second load exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: A body structure defines a passenger cabin. An interior portion is located in the passenger cabin, and a support portion that includes a surface and an adjustable support assembly is located in the passenger cabin. The surface is located adjacent to the interior portion, the adjustable support assembly includes actuators, and the adjustable support assembly is configured to move the surface with respect to the interior portion. Sensors are configured to generate sensor outputs, and a controller detects an event based on the sensor outputs. In response to the detection of the event, the controller outputs a control signal that controls the adjustable support assembly so that the adjustable support assembly moves at least part of the surface away from the interior portion.

Abstract: A first object includes an internal support and an exterior portion coupled to the internal support. A prediction may be made that contact between the exterior portion and a second object will occur. A sensor is configured to output a force signal that indicates the contact between the exterior portion and the second object has occurred, and the controller is configured to take an action based on the prediction and the force signal.

Abstract: A positioning system for a reaction surface is usable with a support having a rearward position spaced from the reaction surface and a forward position proximate to the reaction surface. A controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of an event, receive a signal indicative of the support being in the rearward position, and send a command configured to move the support from the rearward position to the forward position based on the signal indicative of the event and based on the signal indicative of the support being in the rearward position.

Abstract: A system includes a body structure that defines a cabin, a seat assembly that is located in the cabin, and a support structure that includes a top portion and an adjustable support assembly. The support structure is located adjacent to the seat assembly, the adjustable support assembly includes actuators, and the adjustable support assembly is configured to move the top portion with respect to the seat assembly. The system also includes sensors that are configured to generate sensor outputs regarding an environment outside of the system, and a controller that detects an event based on the sensor outputs. In response to the detection of the event, the controller outputs a control signal that controls the adjustable support assembly so that the adjustable support assembly moves at least part of the top portion away from the seat assembly.

Abstract: A system may have structure. The structures may include laminated structures formed by attaching inner and outer layers together with a layer of adhesive. The inner and outer layers in a structure may be formed from polymer such as polycarbonate. Forming the structure layers from polymer may allow the structure to have desired curvature. To improve safety and/or acoustic performance of the structure, the inner and outer structure layers may be formed from different materials. The outer polymer layer may be formed from polycarbonate and the inner polymer layer may be formed from a more brittle polymer such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

Abstract: A support surface includes a support back, a housing defined within the support back, a restraint having a stowed position disposed within the housing, and a panel or a rail having a stowed position disposed within the housing. The support surface includes an anchor that couples an outer edge of the restraint to an outer edge of the panel or the rail. The panel or the rail is configured to guide the anchor and the restraint in traveling from the stowed positions to a deployed position spaced apart from the housing and the support back.
