Abstract: The subject invention detects the presence of an ozone reducing coating on an automotive radiator of the type having spaced fins presenting electromagnetic surface properties different than the electromagnetic surface properties of the coating. In accordance with the subject invention light rays are emitted or reflected off the coating on the fins to a detector and a comparator compares these light rays to a predetermined benchmark to provide a signal in response to the detected light rays crossing the benchmark. In a species, a second detector is employed to detect rays from an un-coated section to establish the benchmark.

Abstract: A powertrain mount comprises an orifice plate including two tracks, a control track and an isolation track. The control track is spirally formed within the orifice plate, which has an exit and entrance on either side of the plate. The control track provides damping to control damping from engine bounce; whereas, the isolation track controllably provides dynamic rate dip. The isolation track is formed between an alignment plate and rotatable track member, each having an exit and entrance, respectively. The rotatable track member and the alignment plate are sealingly engaged and affixed to a decoupler and an annular area disposed about the orifice plate of the powertrain mount. The exit of the alignment plate is adjacent the decoupler. The rotatable track member forms a cavity with the molded body of the powertrain mount, with the entrance exposed to fluid within the cavity for controlling and minimizing vibrations within the powertrain. The isolation track has a track length that may be varied by rotation of the track member and its entrance. Various magnitudes of disturbance frequencies may be managed and controlled by either the fixed control track and/or the variable isolation track within the powertrain mount.

Abstract: A powertrain mount comprises an orifice plate and a rotatable track member. The orifice plate has an opening, a first surface sloping toward the opening, and an inner surface. The rotatable track member has an outer surface proximate the first surface of the orifice plate, and the outer surface of the rotatable track member has an opening. A compliant member is positioned adjacent the orifice track for isolating and damping amplitudes of vibration frequencies, as an amplitude dependent device. For small amplitudes, the compliant member takes up displaced fluid within the mount; whereas, large amplitudes the compliant member is bottomed out, forcing displaced fluid through the orifice track or into the molded assembly of the mount.

Abstract: A vehicle chassis is a shaped metal sheet chassis body or member with regions of relatively low torsional rigidity, and regions of relatively higher torsional rigidity. At least some of the low torsional rigidity regions are reinforced with a composite overlay comprising directionally oriented long fibers of carbon or the like which may be woven into a mat of directionally oriented fibers and embedded in a matrix of resin or the like. The overlay increases the regions of the chassis to which is applied without significantly increasing the weight of the chassis.

Abstract: A steering lock mechanism having an actuator communicating with a lock bolt is provided allowing for more space in the vicinity where a steering wheel is supported by an upper steering shaft. Additionally, a bolt engaging device is supported adjacent a lower end of the upper steering shaft in a position to engage a lock bolt such that any torque forces transmitted through the bolt engaging device will not cause damage to either the device or other components of the steering column. The actuator is rotated about an axis from a first position to a second position to cause the lock bolt communicating with the actuator to advance towards the lower end of the upper steering shaft from a locked position to an unlocked position, respectively.
