A Study on Control Logic Design for Power Seat2019-01-046604/02/2019
The large luxury sedan seat has a 22-way Movement. It offers a wide range of adjustments to enhance passenger comfort performance while it has many constraints on movement in constrained indoor space. In addition, the power seat is operated by a motor, which makes it difficult for the user to determine the amount of adjustment, unlike determining the amount of adjustment by the power and feel of a person, such as manual seat adjustment. IMS, one-touch mode, is also constrained by parameters such as indoor space package, user's lifestyle, etc. during function playback. This paper aims to design the seat control logic to achieve the best seat comfort while satisfying each constraint.{"list":{"list-type":"bullet","list-item":[{"p":"Increase robustness of power seat control logic."},{"p":"Provide optimal adjustments and comfort at each location."},{"p":"Offer differentiated custom control and seating modes for each seat."},{"p":"Improve customer satisfaction and quality by upgrading

Micro-Cavity ArraysTBMG-1419503/01/2012
It was not too long ago that basic science lectures began with the three forms of matter: gases, liquids and solids—and somewhere along the line plasmas were occasionally added to the list. But to be precise, a plasma is an ionized gas; thus, a subset of the big three. But this subset has coexisted with the other forms since the Big Bang and actually makes up 99 percent of the universe. It is found in our Sun and all the other stars, and in more down to earth applications such as neon signs, plasma TVs, cathode ray tubes, and the ubiquitous fluorescent light.
Taking the Heat: Silicone’s Unique Properties Help Create the Next Generation of LED LightingTBMG-1427811/01/2011
As global energy demand rises, the significant energy-saving potential of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting remains a top consideration for lighting manufacturers as well as designers, architects, and consultants looking to offer clients more sustainable options. LED lighting uses one-tenth the power of standard incandescent lighting and lasts 25 times longer — it even has the long-term potential to produce more light, with less cost, than compact fluorescent lamps, or CFLs. In fact, LED lighting may soon replace most lighting in homes, offices, public spaces, and in many other applications.

Getting personalAUTOJUL09_0207/01/2009
Electronics suppliers are developing systems for cars that help automakers adapt more functions to each driver's preferences. Automakers are helping owners customize their cars, providing a growing number of functions that adapt to drivers' preferences. Key fobs are controlling more settings such as radio stations and seat positions, helping drivers feel that the vehicle has been designed specifically for them. The trend to automate and personalize vehicles addresses the once-popular idea that carmakers could adopt custom manufacturing for small, specialized production runs. It also touches on the consumer-electronics trend to provide personalized information and entertainment. It is hoped that tapping into these broad consumer trends will help rejuvenate the sluggish market.

Intelligent Navigation for Music and Media from Multiple Sources2006-21-005210/16/2006
The adoption of digital media in the car is rapidly growing; with that are an increasing number of disparate media sources such as portable media players, satellite radio, and HD radio. Media sources utilize various user access models creating a critical standardization problem in the entertainment sub-system design making navigating media in the car not only difficult but a dangerous driver distraction. Each media source creates different metadata and uses slightly different user models contributing to the overall lack of metadata standardization and can result in inaccurate or missing tag information, and multiple categories for the same piece of media. A band like “The Rolling Stones” may be categorized as “Classic Rock” on a satellite system but as “Rock” on a portable MP3 player plugged into the entertainment subsystem. In the car, lack of standardized metadata creates a dangerous environment as the consumer is forced to manually navigate through media; a serious driver

An Experimental Procedure for Simulating an SC03 Emissions Test with Air Conditioner On2004-01-059403/08/2004
In a continuing effort to include real-world emissions in regulatory testing, the USEPA has included air conditioning operation as part of the Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (SFTP). Known as the SC03, these tests require automobile manufacturers to construct and maintain expensive environmental chambers. However, the regulations make allowances for a simulation test, if one can be shown to demonstrate correlation with the SFTP results. We present the results from an experiment on a 1998 Ford sedan, which simulates the heat load of a full environmental chamber. Moreover, the test procedure is simpler and more cost effective. The process essentially involves heating the condenser of the air conditioning system by using the heat of the engine, rather than heating the entire vehicle. The results indicate that if the head pressure is used as a feedback signal to the radiator fan, the load generated by a full environmental chamber can be duplicated. The NOx emissions and fuel economy

OEMs and their suppliers are developing technology for optimized interior illumination and greater brand differentiation. The traditional dome light inside most cars for nighttime interior illumination seems like little more than an ineffective afterthought in many cars. Its high location sometimes means that its glare can blind occupants while driving and the seats can cast shadows that hinder searches on the floor for cell phones, CDs, and the other detritus of daily automotive life. But some enlightened manufacturers and suppliers have seen the struggle occupants suffer trying to find anything inside their vehicles at night or even when parked in a dim garage. The solution is a new generation of lights that employ new technology, locations, and brains to provide lighting that pleases and delights customers. The number of lights inside cars is climbing rapidly, but growth will soon flatten as more lights offer diminished returns. “Twenty years ago we had seven lights in our cars

Distributive Lighting Systems for Interior Applications2002-01-097903/04/2002
With the development of cars towards mobile offices and homes, people are spending more time inside their vehicle than ever before. Consequently, humanization of car interiors is becoming increasingly important to enhance the drivers' comfort and thereby his performance and safety. This is acknowledged by the car industry and has led to an increasing number of light outlets in the car interior over the last decade. Lighting plays a valuable role in the way the car's interior environment is perceived and this in turn determines the drivers' and passengers' comfort and safety. While up to now functional lighting applications (e.g. switch indicators and reading lamps) have dominated the car interior, these do not contribute significantly to its humanization. Ambient, orientation and contour lighting applications reveal the real value of a car's interior environment. Large-area plastic light guide devices enable us to combine several of the above mentioned interior lighting applications

The future of automotive transportation is very promising with many exciting systems and features designed to enhance customer comfort, convenience and safety. That technology will be meaningless if it is not designed to be readily accepted and easily understood by the customer. A passive system that quietly and unobtrusively “learns” driver tendencies and preferences and uses that knowledge to adjust various vehicle systems will minimize customer apprehension about new technology and increase it's acceptance and usage. Future transportation technology must be designed to adapt to each customer's expectations and abilities or we are apt to receive messages like ..... Disc Error On Driver One!

Structural Headliners-Their Development, Acoustical and Physical Performance, Modular Capabilities and Economics90082602/01/1990
This paper covers the development of different species of structural headliners, such as fiberglass, styrene, polyester fiber, thermoformable polyurethane foam and foam composites. The recent development emphasis of the structural headliner is focused on the acoustical performance being equal to the in-vehicle test results of non-structural headliners being utilized in conjunction with roof bows in North America. The critical criteria in the development of the structural headliner is the physical performance with regard to both roof deflection and the ability to function as a modular headliner.
