Abstract: A console assembly in an automotive vehicle has a
centre console positioned between a pair of seats (12), a
storage bin (76) having a storage compartment therein
accessible through an opening in an upper portion, and a lid
(24) covering the opening which is movable to provide an
adjustable armrest. A hinge (36) attached between the lid
(24) and the storage compartment allows the lid to pivot
between a closed position (A) covering the opening and an
open position (B) uncovering the opening. The hinge (36)
has a lid plate (40) which fits into a sleeve (41) on a
bottom surface (44) of the lid (24) for allowing the lid
(24) to move longitudinally with respect to the console over
the storage compartment between an aft position in which the
lid (24) covers the opening and a fore position in which a
rear portion of the opening is uncovered. A cover plate
(34) covers the rear portion of the opening when the lid
(24) is in the closed and fore positions. The centre
console has a storage well (70) for receiving the storage
bin (76), which is movable between a seated position within
the storage well (70) and an extended position extended out
of the storage well (70). In the extended position, a
predetermined portion of the storage bin (76) remains in the
storage well to provide lateral stability of the a storage
bin (76).

Abstract: A ferrofluid sensor assembly includes a permanent magnet which is supported in a hermetically-sealed housing by ferrofluid rings at each end of the magnet. However, the housing is large enough that the ferrofluid rings do not seal the end of the magnet against the walls of the housing. The housing is filled with a non-magnetic liquid that is immiscible with the ferrofluid. The nonmagnetic liquid wets the walls of the housing such that the ferrofluid rides on the thin film of the nonmagnetic liquid. The non-magnetic fluid is selected to have low viscosity, so that the magnet has a fast response time.

Abstract: A signal transmission system is constructed to
transmit data over a signal transmission line without
requiring precharging the signal transmission line for
every bit, by eliminating the intersymbol interference
component introduced by preceding data. The signal
transmission line has a plurality of switchable signal
transmission lines organized in a branching structure or
a hierarchical structure, at least one target unit from
which to read data is connected to each of the plurality
of signal transmission lines, and a readout circuit
including a circuit for eliminating the intersymbol
interference component is connected to the signal
transmission line, wherein the intersymbol interference
component elimination circuit reduces noise introduced
when switching the signal transmission line among the
plurality of signal transmission lines, and thereby
provides a smooth intersymbol interference component
elimination operation when the signal transmission line
is switched. This makes continuous readout possible and
achieves an increase in the overall speed of the signal
transmission system.

Abstract: The present apparatus and method captures at least a pair of images
in relatively quick succession with an illumination source being fired during the
capture of one of the images. The illumination source is located adjacent to the
optical lens or close to the optical axis of the camera. Next the illumination level
of the images is compensated to make them equal in illumination. Following that
an analysis of the images is performed to determine the difference between the
illumination compensated images. After the illumination compensation the
difference has to be caused by eye-defects or specular reflections from glasses.
The pixel coordinates of the transitory eye-defect regions are recorded and
analyzed to determine the spacing of the potential eye locations and/or the spatial
structure of the eyes for plausibility. Once confirmed the coordinates are output
and recorded.
