    Abstract: A steering shaft lock actuator may include a motor having an output shaft, a drive train, and a lost motion device. The drive train may be coupled to the output shaft and may linearly urge a locking member to an unlocked position when the motor is energized. The lost motion device may be configured to store energy when the locking member is in the unlocked position and utilize the stored energy to drive the locking member toward a locked position with a steering shaft when the motor is de-energized.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for making and sensing ice. Also, apparatus and methods for sensing the change of phase of a substance. In one embodiment, a fringe-effect capacitor is placed proximate to a substance, such as water, which is undergoing a phase change, such as the change of phase from the liquid state to the solid state. During this change, the dielectric constant of the substance changes, and thereby changes the electrical flux between conductors of the fringe-effect capacitor. Also, apparatus and methods as described above, and using a capacitor but not a fringe-effect capacitor.

    Abstract: A solenoid valve is provided generally including a bobbin for supporting a coil and a core located adjacent to the bobbin. An armature is movably disposed relative to the core. A plunger is coupled to the armature and movable with the armature. A seal is coupled to the plunger, with the seal movable between an open position and a closed position sealingly engaged with a valve seat. The solenoid valve further includes a plunger damper which includes a resilient feature that is configured to engage the plunger when the seal moves toward the closed position. The plunger damper may damp, or cushion, any impact between the seal and the valve seat.

    Abstract: A torque sensing assembly (10) includes a first sensor assembly (50) configured for sensing at least a portion of a magnetic field of a first portion (22) of a rotating shaft assembly (12) and generating a first signal (52). A second sensor assembly (56) is configured for sensing at least a portion of a magnetic field of a second portion (26) of the rotating shaft assembly (12) and generating a second signal (58). A common mode detection circuit (54) is configured for combining the first and second signals to form a combined signal and processing the combined signal to at least partially remove a common mode signal from the combined signal and generate an output signal.

    Abstract: An improved ambient light sensor (20) is provided. Light (105) passes to at least two photosensors (30, 35) with different peak response frequencies. A controller (80) accepts output signals from the photosensors (30, 35) and operates vehicle systems (e.g., headlights (70) or environmental controls (75) accordingly. The controller (80) may distinguish between natural and artificial light, so that headlights (70) are illuminated while a vehicle passes through a well lit tunnel, or is exposed to lights from another vehicle.

    Abstract: A leak detection module (LDM) includes a housing, a canister valve solenoid (CVS) that is arranged within the housing and in fluid communication along a first fluid passageway between first and second ports. The module also includes a pump that is arranged within the housing and is in fluid communication with the first and second ports, and a pressure sensor that is in fluid communication with at least one of the first and second ports. A first controller is arranged in the housing and is in communication with the pump, the CVS and the pressure sensor. The first controller runs a test procedure using the pump and operating the CVS between open and closed positions to monitor a pressure within the module. The first controller communicates a result based upon the monitored pressure to a second controller that is arranged outside the housing and remotely from the module.
