Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To fix an inflator and an air bag into a housing easily and assuredly in an air bag device. SOLUTION: An insertion hole is formed on one side surface of a substantially rectangular housing 10, and a claw 13 is formed on the circumference of the hole. An air bag 20 is held in the housing 10 by hanging a slit 23 of a folded portion 22a of the bag 20 on the claw 13. With the stage, an inflator 30 is inserted into the housing from the insertion hole and a screw portion 34 at the leading end of the inflator is projected from the insertion hole on the other side of the housing and screwed. Accordingly, the air bag is held at the leading end portion of the inflator and the folded portion 22a of the air bag is held by the flange 32 of the inflator around the insertion hole on a rear end of the inflator 30, allowing the air bag and the inflator to be fixed to the housing at the same time.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably provide a liquefied refrigerant to a sub-cooler portion of a condenser, and minimize the size and complexity for ease of plumbing and assembly.SOLUTION: A sub-cooled condenser 100 for an air conditioning system has a condenser portion 124, a sub-cooler portion 126 located below the condenser portion, an adjacent receiver tank 128. The receiver tank has a first fluid port 130 in hydraulic connection with the condenser portion, and a second fluid port 132 in hydraulic connection with the sub-cooler portion, and a refrigerant diverter assembly 200 disposed in the receiver tank. The refrigerant diverter assembly includes a refrigerant port, axial and annular refrigerant passageways, and a refrigerant conduit, and is configured to divert a refrigerant from the first fluid port to a location beneath the surface level of a refrigerant retained within the receiver tank without impacting the surface level.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connector that provides a firm electrical and mechanical connection and can overcome connection impediments due to corrosion.SOLUTION: A cable assembly comprises a terminal crimped to a conductor. The terminal 12 has a plurality of crimps 16, 18 separated from one another and a transition crimp 20 disposed between the crimps. A method comprises: deforming the terminal 12 about the conductor 14 to form the plurality of crimps having different crimp heights; and deforming the terminal 12 about the conductor 14 to form the transition crimp 20 between the plurality of crimps. The transition crimp 20 has a different crimp height than each of the plurality of crimps.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power safety system and method having a plurality of thermally-triggered electrical breaking arrangements.SOLUTION: A plurality of TTEBAs 11 are associated with a plurality of electrical devices (EDs) disposed external to the PSS. The PSS further includes a plurality of electrical power connections (EPCs) 19 associated with the plurality of TTEBAs that are configured to respectively electrically connect the PSS to the plurality of EDs. When at least one of the plurality of TTEBAs 11 is electrically operative and at least one thermal event occurs that is sufficient to thermally activate the at least one electrically operative TTEBA 11, at least the EPC associated with the at least one thermally activated TTEBA 11 is electrically broken. A method for protecting a human operator of the PSS from a thermal event is also presented. A PSS is also extended to a primary and a secondary electrical charging system used to charge a battery of a vehicle.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle parking assist system for a wireless battery charger for positioning a capture resonator or a receiving plate attached to a vehicle over a source resonator or a charging pad residing on a parking surface under the vehicle.SOLUTION: The system includes a target that is positioned relative to a source resonator at a location that is viewable by an operator of a vehicle while the vehicle is being parked. The vehicle is equipped with a plurality of light sources attached to the vehicle, and the light sources are oriented so that when the vehicle is properly positioned, light beams from the light sources impinge on the target at one or more predetermined locations or converge at some predetermined location on the target.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a crimp connection including a contact element and a wire cable.SOLUTION: The wire cable is disposed along a longitudinal axis and configured to axially receive the contact element. When the contact element receives the wire cable, the crimp connection is formed that attaches the wire cable with the contact element so that at least a portion of the crimp connection includes at least one indention arrangement deformed therein. The indention arrangement contains a pair of humps separated by a groove therebetween. The crimp connection may be applied to a wire cable assembly that includes an inner and an outer ferrule in a manner that prevents protrusions from forming thereon so that undesired RF energy is not electrically transmitted out from crimp connection of the wire cable assembly. Methods of constructing a crimp connection that includes the pair of humps separated by a groove therebetween are also further presented.
