Abstract: A wireless charger output protection system and method is provided for protecting a battery in an electric vehicle during wireless charging. A wireless power transfer system includes a wireless charger on the electric vehicle side that receives power wirelessly from a charging base. The wireless charger output protection system and method shuts down the wireless charger output and dumps energy in a receive antenna (e.g., a vehicle pad) when a charging error is detected before the charging base can be shut down. The system and method employs a zero-voltage switching (ZVS) scheme to shut down the wireless charger output, in response to the charging error, to protect the switching devices and enhance overall reliability.

Abstract: A sound system includes a seat including a seatback having a first dipole subwoofer, a second dipole subwoofer, a first speaker, and a second speaker; and a seat bottom having a third speaker. The first dipole subwoofer, the second dipole subwoofer, the first speaker, the second speaker, and/or the third speaker may be configured to receive audio signals from a receiver and provide sound corresponding to the audio signals toward an occupant position of the seat. The third speaker may be directed toward the seat back. The first dipole subwoofer, the second dipole subwoofer, the first speaker, the second speaker, and/or the third speaker may be configured to provide a sound zone for said occupant that facilitates (i) hearing of the sound by said occupant, and/or (ii) limiting transmission of the sound beyond the seat.

Abstract: Seats and methods for controlling a seat are described. A position of the user's leg is sensed relative to the position of the front of the seat. A determination is made as to if the position of the user's leg from a front of the seat is greater than a gap minimum. If the gap is greater than the gap minimum, a cushion length extender portion of the seat is moved until the sensed position is less than or equal to the gap minimum. In an example, the remainder of seat base is held in a fixed position within the vehicle environment. In an example, sensing can include capacitively sensing a position of the user's leg. In an example, sensing can use at least one of a thermal sensor, a light sensor, a radio frequency sensor, a microwave sensor or combinations thereof to sense the position of the user's leg. The gap minimum can be with the cushion length extender portion in slight contact with the user's leg. The sensor can be at a front face of seat. The sensor can be on the cushion length extender portion of the seat.

Abstract: An EVSE assembly convertible between a charge cord and a charge station includes a charge unit having a connector of a first type, a charge station sub-assembly having a connector of a second type, and a cord set sub-assembly having a connector of the second type. The connector of the charge station sub-assembly is hard-wired to an (240V) electrical circuit. The charge unit electrically connects to the charge station sub-assembly while the connectors of the charge unit and the charge station sub-assembly are connected to one another to thereby form a (240V) charge station. The cord set sub-assembly further includes a power plug connectable to (one of a 120V and 240V) electrical outlet. The charge unit electrically connects to the cord set sub-assembly while the connectors of the charge unit and the cord set sub-assembly are connected to one another to thereby form a (120V or 240V) cord set.

Abstract: A wireless charger output protection system and method is provided for protecting a battery in an electric vehicle during wireless charging from both a desired power source and a stray power source. A wireless power transfer system includes a wireless charger on the electric vehicle side that receives power wirelessly from a charging base. The wireless charger output protection system and method shuts down the wireless charger output and dumps energy in a receive antenna (e.g., a vehicle pad) when a low-voltage battery connected to the wireless charger is lost. The wireless charger output protection system and method also shuts down the wireless charger output and dumps unwanted energy in the receive antenna (e.g., a vehicle pad) when power is transferred from a stray power source coupled to the receive antenna.

Abstract: A method and system involve a controller receiving from a phone an orientation signal indicative of an orientation of the phone and adjusting an object according to the orientation of the phone. The controller may select one of the parts of the object according to an initial orientation of the phone and adjust the selected part of the object in correspondence with the orientation of the phone as the orientation of the phone changes. The selected part may be selected in response to the phone being in the proximity of the selected part. The controller may receive from the phone a control signal indicative of a user input to the phone and adjust the object according to the user input. The object may be a vehicle seat having a first part in the form of a seat bottom and a second part in the form of a seat back.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, an inductive charging coil assembly for a vehicle comprising a first base plate and a second base plate is disclosed. The first base plate includes at least one first coil for transmitting magnetic flux. The second base plate includes at least one second coil having a top side and a bottom side to receive the magnetic flux for charging a vehicle. The at least one second coil defines a window to position at least one ferrite on the top side and on the bottom side of the at least one second coil. The at least one ferrite is arranged to guide the magnetic flux from the bottom side of the at least one second side to the top side of the at least one second side and back to the bottom side of the at least one second side.
