    Abstract: Provided is an air cleaner apparatus for an automotive air induction system. The apparatus includes a housing having an upper housing member and a lower housing member. An inlet is provided on the lower housing member, while an outlet is provided on the upper housing member. The apparatus also includes a replaceable serviceable filter. The upper housing member and the lower housing member are connected at an interface therebetween to define an internal volume. The filter is mounted within the internal volume proximal the interface. The upper and lower housing members are maintained in an assembled state using a serviceable latch assembly.

    Abstract: A coupling for interconnecting a first pipe element and a second pipe element. The coupling comprises a first coupling member on the first pipe element, and a second coupling member on the second pipe element. The second coupling member is dimensioned to receive therein the first coupling member. The coupling also includes a retainer element having threads to engage the first coupling member to retain the first and second coupling members in a coupled state. The retainer element includes a lock feature to prevent inadvertent loosening rotation.

    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing thermoplastic articles. The method comprises forming a hollow parison of heated thermoplastic material and positioning the parison within a cavity of a mold tool, the cavity defining the external configuration of the desired article. Fluid pressure is then applied to an internal chamber defined by the parison upon closure of the mold tool, to expand the parison to conform to the mold cavity. The formed article is then subjected to an in-mold cooling phase to reduce the thermal energy of the formed article sufficiently to permit for safe ejection with reduced distortion. The cooling phase is defined by a variable cooling protocol that applies one or more cycles of thermal shock to the formed article during the in-mold cooling phase.

    Abstract: Provided is a headliner air distribution system. The system includes a headliner assembly having a lower perforated sheet that is stationary, and an upper perforated sheet that is moveable relative to the first perforated sheet. The headliner assembly is supported upon an underside surface of a vehicle roof by a pair of bracket rails. The arrangement of the bracket rails serves to place the headliner assembly in spaced-apart relationship relative to the underside surface of the vehicle roof, to establish a plenum for receiving HVAC air. The spatial arrangement of the upper perforated sheet relative to the lower perforated sheet is used to control the passage of HVAC air from the plenum through the headliner assembly into the passenger compartment.

    Abstract: A tonneau cover for covering the opening of a cargo bed of a pickup truck. The tonneau cover includes a sandwich panel including a structural core, a first layered section, and a second layered section. The structural core has a top surface and a bottom surface. The first layered section is coupled to the top surface of the structural core, and a second layered section is coupled to the bottom surface of the structural core. Each of the first and second layered sections includes a reinforcement layer, and at least one of the reinforcement layers of the first and second layered sections is a carbon fiber mat. The tonneau cover may have a single panel configuration or a tri-panel configuration.
