Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an air conditioner (1) for treating the air of a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The air conditioner (1) exhibits a refrigerant circuit (2) configured for a combined cooling unit and heat-pump mode and for a post-heating mode. In the heat-pump mode with a first and a second heat source, two heat sources differing from each other can be used. A temperature of the first heat source, a temperature of the second heat source, and a regulation characteristic number and a maximum pressure are taken into account in the refrigerant circuit (2) for operating the air conditioner (1) in a heat-pump mode. The invention additionally relates to a method for switching between the two heat-pump modes.

Abstract: The invention relates to an air conditioning system for a motorized vehicle with means for conveying, for cooling, and for heating of air. The air conditioning system comprises a housing with flow guide devices and air vents, an evaporator, and a heat exchanger. The housing is developed with an air distribution element and a range of variation. The flow guide devices of the air vents are arranged within the air distribution element, and the heat exchanger is arranged within the range of variation. With the arrangement of the heat exchanger, it is possible to change the outer dimensions of the range of variation and therefore of the air conditioning system while maintaining unchanged functionality and by using identical components such that the air conditioning system can be adapted to the installation space of different motorized vehicle types.

Abstract: A method for optimizing the configuration of a pick-and-place machine utilizes a genetic algorithm that creates an initial population of possible configurations and selects an optimum configuration based upon lowest cycle time. The method then creates a next generation by selecting possible configurations from the prior generation and randomly mutating instructions. The method compares the mutated configuration having the lowest cycle time from the next generation and the configuration having the lowest cycle time from the prior generation, and selects the optimum configuration. The steps are repeated to evaluate additional generations of mutated configurations. After several mutated generations have been evaluated, the method creates a new initial population and evaluates the new initial population and mutated generations derived therefrom, compares the optimum configuration from the new initial populations with the optimum configuration from the prior initial population, and selects the optimum configuration. In this manner, the method may evaluate several initial populations and mutated generations therefrom in selecting the optimum configuration for use in operating the machine.

Abstract: A flatwire connector suitable for the automotive environment is provided. The connector generally includes a male connector having a housing receiving the flatwire and a female connector having a housing structured to receive the male connector. The male connector has surfaces which firmly engage the upper and lower surfaces of the flatwire to provide mechanical support thereto. Additionally, a spring-loaded shield is provided which automatically covers the exposed conductive elements of the flatwire protecting them from the environment. A primary lock is formed which allows simple mating of the male and female connectors while requiring a minimal mating or insertion force. Finally, the unique structure of the cover and its slidable locking member provide a simple to use, but secure and protective secondary locking feature to the connector.

Abstract: A support assembly for an independent rear suspension includes a generally-tubular central member having first end and a second end. A U-shaped end member is coupled to each end of the central member, such that the end members are structurally bridged by the central member. Lands defined on the ends of the arms of each end member are adapted to engage the vehicle frame rails through suitable isolation mounts. An attachment point defined on each end member is adapted to pivotally support a lateral link coupling a respective wheelend assembly to the support assembly. The central member advantageously defines at least a portion of a housing adapted to receive a driveline component, such as an electric motor, coupled to the vehicle's rear wheelend assemblies by a pair of shafts extending from the central member, with the further benefit that the shared suspension and driveline isolation mounts providing enhanced NVH characteristics.
