    Abstract: A coaxial connector assembly includes an inner contact terminating a center conductor of a coaxial cable, an insulator holding the inner contact, and an outer contact, which surrounds the insulator and the inner contact, terminating a shield braid of the cable. The outer contact is formed into a barrel shape and includes a seam extending along an entire length of the outer contact. The coaxial connector assembly further includes an outer ferrule and a seamless inner ferrule. The seamless inner ferrule has a first ferrule portion with a first diameter and a second ferrule portion with a second diameter that is different from the first diameter. The first ferrule portion surrounds at least a portion of the outer contact. The shield braid is sandwiched between the second ferrule portion and the outer ferrule. A method of manufacturing the coaxial connector assembly is also provided.

    Abstract: An environmentally sealed electrical housing assembly with an integrated connector and a method for manufacturing same is presented. The assembly includes a non-accessible electrical component, such an electromechanical relay, and a plurality of terminals connected to a circuit board. A dielectric housing encases the non-accessible electrical component. The housing is in intimate contact with the non-accessible electrical component, thereby sealing it from the environment. The housing defines an integral perimeter wall that surrounds the terminals, forming a connector shroud. Removable electrical components, such as fuse assemblies, may be attached to the terminals inside the shroud. When a sealed mating connector is attached to the housing, the removable components are also sealed from the environment. The assembly allows distribution of power switching functions and circuit protection to be distributed to a location near the electrical load instead of a central location, such as a bussed electrical center.

    Abstract: A fluid-cooled electronics assembly for high-power electronics includes an arrangement of electronic components that defines an upper-side of the arrangement and a lower-side of the arrangement opposite the upper-side. An upper-chamber is thermally coupled to the upper-side, and a lower-chamber thermally coupled to the lower-side. The upper-chamber and the lower-chamber are further configured to direct flowing-coolant series-wise from the lower-chamber into the upper-chamber. The upper-chamber and the lower-chamber are further configured to cooperatively define a manifold-connection operable to couple the assembly to a manifold-outlet and a manifold-inlet of a coolant-manifold. The assembly also includes a fitting configured to define an inlet-port of the assembly that directs the flowing-coolant from the manifold-outlet to the lower-inlet, and an outlet-port that directs the flowing-coolant from the upper-outlet to the manifold-inlet. The inlet-port and the outlet-port are characterized as adjacent and side-by-side ports that are segregated from each other by a wall-section.

    Abstract: An electrical plug assembly including a plug housing, a ground pin and a first power blade projecting from the surface of the plug housing; and a power socket disposed within the plug housing. The surface defines an aperture surrounding the power socket. The assembly further includes an adapter plate including a second power blade having a first portion projecting from a first surface and a second portion projecting from an opposed second surface. Ground pin and first power blade apertures extend through the adapter plate. The second portion of the second power blade is received within the power socket and the ground pin and the first power blade are received within the ground pin and first power blade apertures respectively. The ground pin and the first power blade each project from the first surface of the adapter plate. The adapter plate allows the plug assembly to meet NEMA 5-15P or 6-20P standards.

    Abstract: A system for automated operation of a host-vehicle includes an object-detection device and a controller. The object-detection device is operable to detect an object in a field-of-view proximate to a host-vehicle. The object-detection device is operable to vary a field-of-focus of the object-detection device used to observe a portion of the field-of-view. The controller is configured to determine, based on information received from the object-detection device, a travel-direction of the object relative to a travel-path of the host-vehicle. The controller is also configured to adjust the field-of-focus of the object-detection device based on the travel-direction.

    Abstract: A radar object detection system includes a radar sensor and a controller. The radar sensor is configured to emit a radar signal toward a defined area proximate to the vehicle, and output a reflection signal indicative of a detected target present in the defined area. The controller is configured to receive the reflection signal from the radar sensor, determine if the detected target corresponds to a trailer towed by the vehicle, and define an exclusion zone characterized as occupied by the trailer and thereby excluded from the defined area where objects can be detected.
