Abstract: A type IV conformable pressure vessel has improved mechanical coupling between an outer composite shell and a boss. The pressure vessel comprises an inner polymeric liner having a flare edge fixedly coupled to the boss. The boss has a bore in fluid communication with an interior of the pressure vessel. In addition, the boss has a shank extending between the liner and the outer composite shell. The shank includes a plurality of spikes projecting radially away from the boss. The outer composite shell of resin and fiber surrounds an outer periphery of the liner and an outer periphery of the shank. The spikes are embedded into the outer composite shell to mechanically fasten the outer composite shell to the boss.

Abstract: An engine balance shaft (20) for an internal combustion engine (24) is provided having reduced total mass and rotational inertia while having sufficient bending stiffness and sufficient unbalance mass. The balance shaft (20) is formed by fixedly coupling a counterweight (56), a front bearing journal (68), a rear bearing journal (60), a tail piece (40), and a nose piece (44) to a hollow tube (52). The hollow tube (52) is hydroformed to expand the diameter of the tube and fasten the desired components to the tube (52).

Abstract: An improved park lock rod assembly is provided for a park lock mechanism of a vehicle transmission wherein the park lock rod assembly includes a spring-loaded lock rod captured by a guide member. The guide member includes a first bulbous open slot that is generally L-shaped and receives one end of the lock rod, and another open slot spaced axially from the first open slot that receives another end of the lock rod. This slot configuration allows the rod to pivot relative to the guide member and seat within the second open slot, which permits ready assembly of the lock rod to the guide member. The park lock rod assembly may be manually assembled without the need for crimping or other fasteners. Further, the rod is grooved to cooperate with keyhole shapes provided in the open slots wherein the groove and slot configurations permit the rod to be assembled into the guide member while preventing separation during reciprocating movement of the lock rod.

Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are provided for determining a connection state of an all wheel drive (AWD) assembly in a vehicle. The method includes receiving, by a vehicle, a message indicative of a hazard and a hazard location on the road and determining a distance to the hazard location from the vehicle. In response to the distance to the hazard location being below a first threshold distance, a state for an AWD assembly in the vehicle is set to a connect state. In response to the distance to the hazard location being above the first threshold, the time for the vehicle to reach the hazard location is determined. If the time to the hazard location is below a threshold AWD connection time, the state for the AWD assembly is set to the connect state.

Abstract: A drive gear assembly rotatably drives a driven gear of an engine component. The drive gear assembly comprises a drive shaft extending longitudinally along an axis. A main drive gear is operatively coupled to the drive shaft and a scissor gear is aligned coaxially with the main drive gear. A scissor spring is disposed and operatively coupled between the main drive gear and the scissor gear and biased therebetween wherein the main drive gear and the scissor gear rotate about the axis relative to each other. An isolation mechanism is operatively coupled between the main drive gear and the drive shaft for absorbing impulse loads generated by the driven gear when engaged with the main drive gear.

Abstract: A type IV conformable pressure vessel assembly is provided comprising a plurality of elongated folded tanks and an on-tank-valve (OTV) manifold assembly configured to pass fluid into and out of an interior of the plurality of elongated folded tanks through a plurality of first and second filling couplers directly connected to respective first and second ends of the plurality of elongated folded tanks. Each of the plurality of elongated folded tanks have at least two chambers for the storage of fluid. The manifold valve assembly receives fluid from an external source, selectively provides the external fluid to one or more of the plurality of first and second filling couplers.

Abstract: A pressure vessel and a method of manufacturing the pressure vessel is provided that reduces leaks in type IV pressure vessels having a liner with a corrugated section. The method includes providing a liner having a tubular portion having a corrugated section with circumferential corrugations providing alternating ridges and grooves arranged from one end to an opposing end of the corrugated section, applying a barrier to an outer surface of the corrugated section from one end to an opposing end of the corrugated section such that air voids are formed in annular cavities between the liner and the barrier; and applying resin to an outer surface of the barrier. The barrier prevents intrusion of the resin between the barrier and the liner in the corrugated section.
