Abstract: An example connector includes a housing made of a dielectric material, in which cells are formed. Terminals are housed in the cells and extend essentially in a longitudinal direction. The housing is also equipped with a terminal position assurance device having locking means interacting with a stop surface located on the terminal. The terminal position assurance device may possibly have a system of ramps arranged to move the locking means sequentially, perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction, and then parallel to the longitudinal direction. The leakage path between two terminals can then be lengthened.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a connector housing defining a cavity in which at least two electrical terminals are interconnected. The connector housing defines an opening configured to receive a cover that is configured to protect the at least two electrical terminals and thermally manage heat within the cavity. The connector housing may be configured to receive one cover configuration of a plurality of different cover configurations. A first cover configuration in the plurality of different cover configurations provides different mechanism to thermally manage heat within the cavity electrical connector assembly than a second cover configuration in this plurality of different cover configurations.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an electrical-terminal, a connector-housing, and a primary-lock-reinforcement. The electrical-terminal is configured to receive a corresponding electrical-terminal. The connector-housing defines a first-aperture, a second-aperture, and a body. The connector-housing is configured to receive the electrical-terminal through the first-aperture along a longitudinal-axis of the connector-housing. The body defines a cavity having a cantilevered terminal-lock. The cantilevered terminal-lock terminates proximate an outer-wall of the body. The cantilevered terminal-lock is configured to releasably retain the electrical-terminal. The outer-wall defines an orifice positioned proximate a terminus of the cantilevered terminal-lock. The primary-lock-reinforcement is configured to support the terminus of the cantilevered terminal-lock. When the primary-lock-reinforcement is moved from a pre-stage-position to a seated-position the terminus is inhibited from deflecting away from the electrical-terminal along a mating-axis thereby sealing the orifice.

Abstract: Among other things, we describe techniques for electric power steering torque compensation. Techniques are provided for a method implemented by a computer, e.g., a computer onboard an autonomous vehicle. A planning circuit onboard the vehicle and connected to an EPS of the vehicle determines a compensatory torque signal to modify an actual steering angle of a steering wheel of the vehicle to match an expected steering angle of the steering wheel. The planning circuit transmits the compensatory torque signal to a control circuit that controls the steering angle of the steering wheel. The EPS modifies the actual steering angle based on the compensatory torque signal resulting in a modified steering angle. The control circuit operates the vehicle based on the modified steering angle.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided which includes a processing circuit and a plurality of sensors connected to a vehicle, where at least one of the plurality of sensors is positioned on an undercarriage of the vehicle. The plurality of sensors can detect variations in a road on which the vehicle is traveling. The plurality of sensors can also generate information corresponding to the variations of the road. The plurality of sensors can also transmit the information corresponding to the variations in the road to the processing circuit. The information collected by the plurality of sensors may then be used to augment a driving capability of the vehicle.

Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of a detector device, which may be useful on an automated vehicle, includes a multiple-dimensional array of detectors including a plurality of first detectors aligned with each other in a first direction and a plurality of second detectors aligned with each other in the first direction. The second detectors are offset relative to the first detectors in a second direction that is different than the first direction. A processor determines an interpolation coefficient related to the offset between the first and second detectors and determines an angle of detection of the device based on the interpolation coefficient.

Abstract: A system for an automated vehicle includes an exterior-camera, a database, and a controller. The exterior-camera is used to detect an identification-feature of a person proximate to a host-vehicle. The database includes a customer-profile of the person. The controller-circuit is in communication with the exterior-camera and the database. The controller-circuit is configured to determine an identity of the person in accordance with the identification-feature, recall from the database the customer-profile of the person based on the identity, and operate the host-vehicle to either select or reject the person as a passenger in accordance with the customer-profile of the person.

Abstract: An infrastructure-device status-verification system suitable for use by an automated vehicle includes a transceiver, an object-detector, and a controller. The transceiver is suitable to install on a host-vehicle. The transceiver is used to receive an indicated-status of an infrastructure-device. The object-detector is suitable to install on the host-vehicle. The object-detector is used to determine a detected-status of the infrastructure-device. The controller is in communication with the transceiver and the object-detector. The controller determines a confirmed-status of the infrastructure-device based on the indicated-status and the detected-status. The system provides for increased confidence and security regarding information about the status of an infrastructure-device such as the traffic-signal (e.g. red, yellow, and green), thereby avoid miss-information caused by, for example, hacking or spoofing of V2I communications from the infrastructure-device, and overcome instances when the field-of-view between the object-detector and the infrastructure-device 26 becomes occluded after the confirmed-status has been established or determined.
