An operation device according to the present invention includes a touch-sensitive operation surface placed in a vehicle and a detecting unit configured to detect touch operation by an operator on the touch-sensitive operation surface. On the touch-sensitive operation surface, a guide part having a convex shape or a concave shape and a planar operation part to be an operation location having a planar shape located around the guide part are formed. The detecting unit is configured to detect slide operation on the guide part from the planar operation part, and accept later operation on a predetermined operation location as an operation instruction set in accordance with a status of the slide operation on the guide part.

A remote control system for a vibratory seismic source that generates seismic signals. The remote control system includes an attachment mechanism configured to be fixedly attached to a component of a vehicle carrier that carries the vibratory seismic source, and a remote control mechanism supported by the attachment mechanism, wherein the remote control mechanism includes first and second command units, each configured to control a baseplate associated with the vibratory seismic source. Each of the first and second command units are configured to be removed from the remote control mechanism while the attachment mechanism is hold in place.

A seat console including an upper console portion defining an interior space, a lower console portion positioned below the upper console portion, and at least one cable-actuated passenger control unit (PCU) positioned in the interior space in the upper console portion, the cable-actuated PCU including at least one pushbutton subassembly including a pushbutton presented through one of a first lateral side and a second lateral side of the upper console portion. The seat console may be implemented as a single seat console, or a center console configured to be positioned between two seats.

Furniture entertainment hubs are disclosed that are integrated in a piece of furniture to conveniently control the piece of furniture, while at the same time providing a convenient means of communicating with and charging a remote smart device such as a smart phone or tablet. The entertainment hubs can be in many different locations in the piece of furniture, with some embodiments embedded in an armrest with the hub having a touch screen accessible at the top surface of the armrest. The entertainment hub provides a sleek, aesthetic and easy to use mechanism for controlling the chair/sofa and interfacing with remote devices. One embodiment of an entertainment hub for a seating apparatus comprising a body with a plurality of planar surfaces, wherein one of said plurality of surfaces comprises a substantially flat control panel. The control panel comprises a plurality of visual touch buttons, a remote device wireless charging pad, and a speaker. Wherein said body is arranged to be mounted in a piece of furniture with most of the body embedded in said piece of furniture with said control panel being visible and accessible.

An interchangeable operator interface system for a work vehicle has at least one controller, at least one operator interface device having a plurality of controls, and at least one interface device docking arrangement. The docking arrangement removably mounts different interface devices to alternatively physically connect them to the work vehicle and operatively couple them to the controller. Different operator interface devices have at least one common control that operates in a different mode of operation and/or in a different physical layout on the associated operator interface device. The controller is configured to effect an associated common change in state of an associated component of the work vehicle upon receiving a control input from the different common controls.

In a preferred embodiment, a mechanical cable release mechanism for actuating an adjustable feature of an aircraft passenger seat includes a driving control mechanism disposed within a seat bottom region of the passenger seat, a moveable control mechanism disposed between the seat bottom region and the adjustable feature, a mechanical cable connected at one end to the moveable control mechanism and at the other end to the driving control mechanism, and an electronic actuation mechanism configured, upon triggering, to activate the driving control mechanism to pull or push the mechanical cable, thereby actuating the moveable control mechanism.

It is an object to secure a state where an operator easily reaches various operating means with a hand, and to reliably maintain an original function of an arm rest (to put the hand on the arm for rest). A working vehicle is configured such that speed of power from an engine provided in a traveling machine body is changed by a hydraulic continuously variable transmission, and the power is transmitted to a traveling unit and a working unit. An arm rest on which the operator's arm and hand are put is placed on a side of a cockpit in the traveling machine body. A main transmission lever which changes traveling speed by the traveling unit is arranged on a front end of the arm rest on the side of the cockpit. An elevating dial which hoists and lowers the working unit is arranged on a side surface of the arm rest on the opposite side from the cockpit.

An operator seat for a work vehicle is disclosed. The operator seat includes an operator support rotatably mountable to the work vehicle and an arm coupled to the operator support to rotate with the operator support. The arm includes at least one human-machine interface device. The operator seat includes a hinge pivotally connecting the arm to the operator support, and a linkage having a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to the operator support, and the linkage is configured such that rotation of the operator support in a first direction causes the second end of the linkage to move the arm in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction.

An input apparatus for a vehicle includes a cover member for covering an upper part of an input unit installed in a center plate provided between a driver seat and a passenger seat, wherein the cover member moves forward from a center console located in a back part of the center plate to cover the upper part of the input unit.

Systems and methods for securing an emergency exit door on an armrest of a seat are provided. A system includes a latch connected to an armrest of a seat of a vehicle. The latch is moveable relative to the armrest between a stowed position and a deployed position. The latch is structured and arranged to engage an edge of a door that is associated with an exit of the vehicle to hold the door on the armrest.
