Abstract: A housing for accommodating at least part of a sensor device includes a plurality of opening positions and a connector device. The opening positions are formed into housing. The opening positions enable selection of a position and a direction of the connector device into the housing for, at one end, electrically communicating with a terminal portion of the sensor device within the housing and, at another end, being compatible with an external connector.

Abstract: A gesture recognition system for hands-free access to a vehicle includes a set of vehicle ultra-wideband (UWB) transceivers comprising at least three UWB transceivers and a controller configured to detect a presence of a vehicle-authorized mobile device in possession of an authorized user, determine a set of defined zones proximate to the vehicle and associated with hands-free vehicle access, communicate between the set of vehicle UWB transceivers and a device UWB transceiver of the mobile device to monitor a location of the mobile device, monitor a movement routine of the mobile device relative to the set of defined zones over a period, and in response to determining a match with one of a set of predefined movement routines associated with hands-free vehicle access, command one of a set of access actuators of the vehicle to grant hands-free vehicle access corresponding to the matched predefined movement routine.

Abstract: A joining element for coupling two parts of a housing includes a first pair of resilient engagement elements for receiving a first part of the housing and a second pair of resilient engagement elements for receiving a second part of the housing to be coupled to the first part. The first pair of resilient engagement elements is configured to receive and engage with the first part of the housing by a first engagement force. The second pair of resilient engagement elements is configured to receive and engage with the second part of the housing by a second engagement force. Securing the second part by the second pair of resilient engagement elements causes an increase in the first engagement force on the first part.

Abstract: A charging system for an electric vehicle for use with an external charger at a charging station includes an electronic control unit, a first charging port, and a second charging port. The first charging port is electrically connected to the electronic control unit by a first power line communication connection. The second charging port is electrically connected to the electronic control unit by a second power line communication connection. The electronic control unit is configured to (i) detect a connection of the external charger to the first charging port or the second charging port and (ii) activate the first charging port or the second charging port for charging the electric vehicle.

Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed, including an inner housing with multiple cavities, an outer housing accommodating the inner housing, two terminals housed in the cavities, and a primary lock reinforcement device (PLR). The PLR is mounted on the inner housing and can be moved parallel to the longitudinal direction between three positions: a locking position where the PLR is covered by the outer housing and provides secondary locking means, an intermediate position where the terminals are locked in their final positions, and an unlocking position where the terminals are released. This design allows for secure locking of terminals within the connector while providing ease of unlocking for maintenance or replacement purposes.

Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed, including an inner housing with at least one cavity aligned parallel to an insertion direction, an outer housing with a mating face accommodating the inner housing, at least one terminal housed in each cavity, and a terminal position assurance device (TPA) positioned between the inner and outer housings. The TPA is fully covered by the outer housing and can be rotated about a perpendicular axis to the insertion direction. It transitions between an open position allowing terminal insertion and a closed position securing the terminals in the cavities. Actuating means on the outer housing facilitate TPA movement as the inner housing is inserted from an initial to a final position, ensuring proper terminal locking within the deepest functional position of the outer housing.

Abstract: A method for predicting a false positive detection by a radar sensor includes simulating a radar signal, determining a plurality of reflected radar signal rays based on the simulated radar signal and data regarding at least one vehicle component that may be a source of a false positive detection based on received reflected radar signal rays, selecting detectable rays from the reflected radar signal rays, determining an energy level for each detectable ray based on a reflectivity of the at least one vehicle component, clustering at least some of the detectable rays based on a distance between a reflection origin location of at least two of the detectable rays being within a predefined range, determining an energy level of clustered detectable rays, and determining a false positive based on the determined energy level of the clustered detectable rays being above an energy threshold.

The cylindrical seal includes a second inner semi-cylindrical portion having a second cable engagement surface formed along an inner surface of the second inner semi-cylindrical portion. The seal retainer includes a first retainer half-shell associated with the first inner semi-cylindrical portion and a second retainer half-shell associated with the second inner semi-cylindrical portion. The seal retainer is configured to rotatably close to compress at least a portion of the first inner semi-cylindrical portion and the second inner semi-cylindrical portion between the seal retainer and a cable.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for selecting a parking space using a probabilistic approach. An example system includes a processor that can determine whether multiple parking spaces are available in proximity to a host vehicle using sensor data. Parking-space characteristics (e.g., a width, entry turning radius, and longitudinal distance to the parking space) of each available parking space are determined using the sensor data. The processor can then choose a selected parking space among the multiple parking spaces based on the parking-space characteristics. The processor or another processor can then control the host vehicle to park in the selected parking space using an assisted-driving or autonomous-driving system. In this way, the described system can select and navigate to a parking space using a probabilistic approach. The processor can choose the parking space and parking maneuver based on programmable and customizable parking-space characteristics in some implementations.
