A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component may comprise a track and a console configured to latch to the track and unlatch from the track to move along the track. The component may comprise a drive mechanism comprising a motor, a first cable to move the console forward and a second cable to move the console rearward. The component may comprise a controller and a retaining mechanism comprising an actuator and a lock mechanism. The controller may send a signal to the actuator to actuate the lock mechanism and may send a signal to the drive mechanism to move the console. The actuator may be configured to move a pin into engagement with a hole in the track to secure the console to the track. The lock mechanism may comprise a set of pins configured to engage a set of holes in the track.

Disclosed embodiments may relate generally to a micro airflow generator which does not use fan(s) or a heater to generate airflow (for example in a compact optical PM sensor). Rather, disclosed embodiments typically may use induced movement of a membrane/diaphragm element to generate air flow (wherein movement of the membrane in turn induces movement in air). For example, a membrane or diaphragm element could be driven by an (electronic) actuator element, such as an electro-magnetic actuator or piezo disc bender (or some other means of vibrating/moving the membrane element in a way which induced airflow). In some embodiments, the electro-magnetic actuator itself may include a membrane (such that the electro-magnetic actuator might encompass the membrane and the electronic actuator element, such as a magnet and corresponding coil) and/or the piezo disc bender might serve as both the membrane/diaphragm and the electronic actuator element.
