International Classification:

B60N 2/08

US Classification:

296 6503, 297336

Abstract:

A vehicle seat latch () includes a latch member () and a blocking member () that each have associated first and second blocking surfaces ( and ) for holding the latch member in a latched position with the blocking member in a blocking position. The first blocking surfaces ( and ) of the latch member and blocking member have a pressure angle between 4. 6 and 6. 6 degrees while the second blocking surfaces ( and ) have a zero degree pressure angle and are slightly spaced from each other. A deformable blocking portion () of the blocking member () defines its first blocking surface () and is deformed by excessive loading so that the zero degree pressure angle second blocking surfaces ( and ) then contact each other to hold the latch member in its latched position.

Assignee:

PORTER GROUP, LLC - Novi MI

International Classification:

B60N 2/44

US Classification:

2485031, 29737813

Abstract:

The vehicle seat latch () disclosed includes an elongate pivot plate () pivotally mounted by a first pivotal connection () on a seat frame () by a mounting plate (). A second pivotal connection () mounts a latch assembly () on the pivot plate (). The latch assembly () includes a throat plate () having a throat () for receiving a vehicle body mounted striker (), and the latch assembly () also includes at least one latch member () movable between latched and unlatched positions for securing the latch to the striker (). Pivoting of the pivot plate () about the first pivotal connection () and pivoting of the throat plate () about the second pivotal connection () provide the latch assembly with compliance that accommodates for striker position variation along transverse directions, which are vertical and horizontal when the seat is latched to the vehicle floor.

International Classification:

G06F 12/08

US Classification:

711122, 711119, 711E12017

Abstract:

Embodiments relate to accessing a cache line on a multi-level cache system having a system memory. Based on a request for exclusive ownership of a specific cache line at the local node, requests are concurrently sent to the system memory and remote nodes of the plurality of nodes for the specific cache line by the local node. The specific cache line is found in a specific remote node. The specific remote node is one of the remote nodes. The specific cache line is removed from the specific remote node for exclusive ownership by another node. Based on the specified node having the specified cache line in ghost state, any subsequent fetch request is initiated for the specific cache line from the specific node encounters the ghost state. When the ghost state is encountered, the subsequent fetch request is directed only to nodes of the plurality of nodes.

International Classification:

G06F 12/0815

Abstract:

Processing simultaneous data requests regardless of active request in the same addressable index of a cache. In response to the cache miss in the given congruence, if the number of other compartments in the given congruence class that have an active operation is less than a predetermined threshold, setting a Do Not Cast Out (DNCO) pending indication for each of the compartments that have an active operation in order to block access to each of the other compartments that have active operations and, if the number of other compartments in the given congruence class that have an active operation is not less than a predetermined threshold, blocking another cache miss from occurring in the compartments of the given congruence class by setting a congruence class block pending indication for the given congruence class in order to block access to each of the other compartments of the given congruence class.
