Abstract: A male terminal has spring elements bent back from a rounded end above a flat portion of the terminal and separated by a centrally located opening. An aperture extends through the flat portion under the opening. Elongated ridges protrude from an underside of the flat portion. A female terminal has arms overhanging a base to form receptacles for the spring elements. Down-turned alignment ribs on the arms are received in the opening in the male terminal to properly align the terminals during electrical connection. Dimples protrude from the arms to contact the spring elements of the male terminal as the spring elements are inserted. The elongated ridges on the underside of the flat portion of the male terminal contact the base of the female terminal. A lock tab in the base between the ribs snaps into the aperture to latch the terminals together when the spring elements are fully inserted.

Abstract: A system and method for providing power redundancy to certain devices of a vehicle that are typically controlled by means of a power distribution and control node. Power is delivered to the node by both a primary power feed as well as a secondary power feed. Provided in each node is a first set of power relays for selectively providing power to at least one device of a first class, as well as a second set of power relays for selectively providing power to at least one device of a second class. Under a normal operating state of the node, the one or more first class devices, as well as the one or more second class devices, selectively receive power from the primary power feed. Upon the occurrence of a disruption in the primary power feed, the one or more second class devices will continue to operate by being selectively powered through the second set of power relays by the second power feed.

Abstract: A check fixture for electrical connectors, including a pin nest made of a rigid plastic such as Delrin, having parallel slots and bores contiguous with said slots formed therein to receive one piece contact pins in precise arrangements and orientations to fit a connector to be checked. The contact pins are spring biased into the bores with blade portions extending outwardly from the slots. Wires are soldered into the butt ends of the contact pins and run to a conventional indicator. The pin nest is held within an outer body having a keyed opening to accept the connector in the proper orientation to be checked.

Abstract: A grommet fits around a wire harness and seats within and passes through an opening in a vehicle panel. The grommet has an internal tube section for snugly receiving the harness. At a first end of the grommet, a flange section is sized to seal against one side of the opening. A groove immediately adjacent the flange section receives an edge of the opening. From a side of the groove opposite the flange section, a tapered section converges to the tube section at a second end of the grommet. An engagement area of the tapered section immediately adjacent the groove is wider than a depth of the groove, so the engagement area rubs against the edge of the opening as the second end of the grommet and the tapered section are pulled through the opening. Multiple circumferential rows of depressions are provided around the tapered section within the boundaries of the engagement area. The depressions are circular in shape at an outer surface of the engagement area and bowl-shaped extending into the tapered section. The rows are offset so the depressions do not align along a longitudinal axis of the grommet. The depressions reduce frictional contact between the engagement area and the edge of the panel opening, and provide holding reservoirs for lubricant if used.

Abstract translation: 电线套环在电线束周围，并位于车辆面板内并穿过车辆面板的开口。 索环具有用于紧密接收线束的内部管部分。 在护环的第一端处，凸缘部分的尺寸设置成密封开口的一侧。 紧邻凸缘部分的槽接收开口的边缘。 从与凸缘部分相对的槽的一侧，锥形部分在索环的第二端处会聚到管部分。 与凹槽紧邻的锥形部分的接合区域比凹槽的深度宽，因此当索环的第二端部和接合部分被拉出时，接合区域与开口的边缘摩擦。 在接合区域的边界内围绕锥形部分设置多个圆周排的凹陷。 凹陷在接合区域的外表面处呈圆形，并且碗形延伸到锥形部分。 这些排被偏移，使得凹陷不沿着护环的纵向轴线排列。 凹陷减少接合区域和面板开口边缘之间的摩擦接触，并且如果使用则提供用于润滑剂的保持容器。

Abstract: A right-angle coaxial cable connector has an inner cable stop for positioning an end of a coaxial cable in a specific location within an electrically conductive connector housing. A terminal device of the connector includes a center contact terminal with insulation displacement blades on one end. A dielectric member is sandwiched between the center contact terminal and an outer electrical contact. The cable stop surface may be a direct projection from the housing or an extension of the dielectric member. The projection or dielectric member electrically isolates a conductive core of the cable from the connector housing. Full insertion of the terminal device or a part of the terminal device into the connector housing causes the blades to cut through insulation of the cable and electrically connect the conductive core of the cable with the center contact terminal. The structure of the connector housing and the assembly process enable inspection of the cable end location within the housing prior to termination of the cable. A ferrule is used to secure the cable to the housing after confirmation of the location. The outer electrical contact of the terminal device is electrically connected to an outer conductive sheath of the cable through the connector housing when the ferrule is crimped on the housing around the sheath.

Abstract: A gauge or dial has multiple displays for indicating various vehicle operating conditions. Pointers indicate a range of measured values on some of the displays. A fixed hub covers ends of the pointers where they connect with their drive shafts and extend through the dial. The hub has a display screen with a graphic or symbol imprinted on it. A conduit directly under the hub on an opposite side of the dial extends to a printed circuit board. A light emitting diode is mounted on the printed circuit board within the conduit. Light from the diode is reflected through the conduit to backlight the symbol on the display screen. Switching on and off of the diode is controlled in response to sensing or measurement of a vehicle condition or vehicle component operation, such as a turn signal.

Abstract: A system and method for interfacing video devices over a link where electronic digital video data having a quantity (n) of bits of parallel data transmitted electronically at a first clock rate (R1) is converted to a stream of electronic serial data that is transmitted a second clock rate (R2=R1×n). The stream of electronic serial data is transmitted over a link that can be a fiber optic link or include one or more conductors. A receiver is employed to convert the data transmitted over the link into an output data stream having (n) bits of parallel data transmitted electronically at the first clock rate (R1). If the link is a fiber optic link, the receiver can convert the data transmitted over the link into to a second stream electronic serial data that is transmitted at the second clock rate (R2) and then to the output data stream.
