    Abstract: An electrical power supply device configured to interface with a start-stop controller within a vehicle includes a DC-DC power convertor receiving an input voltage and producing a first output voltage or a second output voltage that is less than the first output voltage and a device controller in communication with the DC-DC power convertor. The device controller has one or more processors and memory. The memory includes instructions which causes the device controller to command the DC-DC power convertor to output the first output voltage when the device controller receives a run signal from the start-stop controller or detects that the input voltage is above a voltage threshold or output the second output voltage when the device controller receives a stop signal from the start-stop controller or detects that the input voltage is below a voltage threshold. A method of operating the electrical power supply device is also presented.

    Abstract: An enclosure, includes a housing and a window. The housing is configured to retain a LIDAR-sensor. The window is attached to the housing within an opening defined by the housing. The window is configured to transmit light from the LIDAR-sensor. The window is comprised of a silicone-based polymeric material having a thickness of at least three millimeters. The window is characterized as having a transmittance of at least 80% of the light at a wavelength of 1550 nanometers.

    Abstract: A connector assembly is provided with a connector body that is configured to be removably connected with a corresponding mating connector body. The connector body has a deflectable latching member configured to secure the connector body to the corresponding mating connector body. The connector assembly also includes a connector position assurance (CPA) device that is slideably attached to the connector body and is moveable from a pre-staged position that allows the latching member to be deflected to a full-staged position that inhibits deflection of the latching member. The latching member defines a first window and a second window. A first portion of the CPA device is visible in the first window when the CPA device is in the pre-staged position and a second portion of the CPA device is visible in the second window when the CPA device is in the full-staged position.

    Abstract: A detection device includes a receiver, an inertial-measurement-unit, an electronic-compass, and a controller-circuit. The receiver determines intensity of a homing-signal transmitted from a vehicle and received at the device. The inertial-measurement-unit determines a distance the device is moved. The electronic-compass determines a heading in which the device is moving. The controller-circuit is in communication with the receiver, the inertial-measurement-unit, and the electronic-compass. The controller-circuit determines a first-range between a first-position of the device and the vehicle. The controller-circuit determines that that the device has moved to a second-position based on a first-distance and a first-heading. The controller-circuit determines a second-range between the second-position and the vehicle. The controller-circuit determines that the device has moved to a third-position based on a second-distance and a second-heading. The controller-circuit determines a third-range between the third-position and the vehicle. The controller-circuit determines a travel-distance and a travel-direction from the device to the vehicle.
