    Abstract: A controllable one-way clutch assembly having an actuator module with a direct action configuration provided between a linearly-moveable actuation component of a power-operated actuator and a pivotably moveable locking element. In particular, the actuator module is equipped with a solenoid having an energizeable coil assembly, a linearly-moveable plunger having a tip portion, a strut moveable in response to energization of the coil assembly from a released position to a locked position due to engagement with the tip portion of the plunger, and a strut biasing arrangement biasing the strut toward its released position. In addition, various strut/actuator interface arrangements are provided between the tip of the plunger of the solenoid actuator and the strut to control movement of the strut between its released and locked positions.

    Abstract: An electric fluid pump and method of regulating flow of liquid therethrough is provided. The pump has an electric motor including a stator and a rotor, wherein the rotor is supported for rotation to drive an impeller that is fixed thereto for rotation to pump coolant from a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet. A controller is in operable, closed loop communication with the electric motor, and the impeller is operable to rotate in a first rotary pumping direction and an opposite second rotary pumping direction in response to a signal from the controller. The first rotary pumping direction produces a first positive flow rate of coolant outwardly from the fluid outlet and the second rotary pumping direction produces a second positive flow rate of coolant outwardly from the fluid outlet, with the first positive flow rate being greater than the second positive flow rate.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and structure for sealing an electrical connector. The structure includes a sealing insert for insertion into the housing of an electrical connector. The sealing insert has a flared lip spaced from and extending above a base and the flared lip has a diameter that is larger than a diameter of the base. The sealing insert further includes a retention feature and at least one electrical pin guide. The sealing insert is inserted into the housing of an electrical connector after applying a form in place sealant inside the housing. The flared lip forms a seal against an inner wall of the housing and the retention feature of the sealing insert engages a retention feature inside the housing thereby locking the sealing insert into the housing and forcing the sealant into a sealant gap formed between the housing and the sealing insert thereby sealing the electrical connector.

    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to a coil module assembly for a bi-directional clutch assembly having at least one active clutch. The coil module assembly includes a housing having an actuator housing portion and a PCB housing portion. An electromagnetic actuator is disposed in the actuator housing portion for effectuating pivotal movement of the active strut from an unlocked position to a locked position in response to an energization of the electromagnetic actuator. An integrated printed circuit board (PCB) is disposed in the PCB housing portion and is in electrical communication with the electromagnetic actuator for selectively energizing the electromagnetic actuator. The housing further includes a thermally decoupled housing portion which is disposed between the actuator housing portion and the PCB housing portion for thermally decoupling, i.e., reducing heat transfer, from the electromagnetic actuator to the PCB during selective energization of the electromagnetic actuator.

    Abstract: A selectable one-way clutch apparatus. The one-way clutch apparatus includes a first plate that has an inner surface that defines at least one compartment. A second plate has a ratchet surface aligned axially adjacent with the inner surface of the first plate and presents a plurality of teeth. Each of the compartments is divided into a strut section, an armature section and a core section. At least one electromagnetic actuator unit is received by the compartment. The electromagnetic actuator unit includes a coil assembly, an armature assembly that has at least one armature finger pivotally moveable in the armature section for movement toward and away from the coil assembly in response to the coil assembly being energized, and at least one strut that is pivotally moveable in the strut section for moving in response to engagement by the armature finger between a locked position and a released position.

    Abstract: A transfer case includes an input shaft, first and second output shafts and a planetary gearset having a sun gear, a ring gear and a pinion gear meshingly engaged with the sun and ring gears. A range actuator includes first, second and third range sleeves abutted in series being axially translatable between a first position to provide a drive connection between the input shaft and the first output shaft, a second position providing a direct drive ratio connection between the input shaft and the first output shaft as well as the input shaft and a second output shaft, and a third position to provide a reduced speed drive ratio connection between the input shaft and the first output shaft as well as the input shaft and the second output shaft. The gears of the planetary gearset are not driven when the range sleeves are at the first and second positions.
