    Abstract: A convoluted tube for enclosing a wire harness can include a tubular body portion extending in a longitudinal direction. The tubular body portion can define a slit that extends in the longitudinal direction and that separates first and second contact surfaces of the tubular body portion. The convoluted tube can also include a conductive ink coupled to at least one of the first and second contact surfaces. The conductive ink can be configured to generate heat when an appropriate magnetic field is applied. The first contact surface can be configured to fuse with the second contact surface upon application of the appropriate magnetic field to the conductive ink such that the wire harness enclosed within the interior of the tubular body portion does not extend through the slit.

    Abstract: An electrical device having an electrical component, which has an electric terminal, and a busbar assembly having a busbar and a frame. The busbar is formed of a strip of conductive material and has first and second busbar sides that are opposite from one another. The frame has a busbar seat and a cover member. The busbar seat extends through a first frame side of the frame. The busbar is received into the busbar seat and seated to the frame such that the first busbar side is spaced apart from the first frame side so that the busbar is contained wholly within the frame. The cover member abuts the second busbar side and defines an irradiation aperture that is configured to receive a laser beam from a laser welder therethrough. A laser weld fuses the busbar to the electric terminal.

    Abstract: A connector assembly includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a first locking mechanism. The second connector includes a housing and a seal shroud. The housing includes a seal positioned along an exterior surface of the housing. The seal shroud surrounds the housing and includes a second locking mechanism configured to mate with the first locking mechanism. The seal shroud is movable between a first position and a second position while the first locking mechanism is mated with the second locking mechanism. The seal shroud at least partially covers the seal of the housing in the first position and the seal shroud exposes the seal to an interior facing surface of the first connector in the second position.

    Abstract: Methods of flocking and various embodiments of head-up displays for a vehicle are contemplated. Some embodiments of a head-up display unit can include a display unit configured to display an image onto an observation surface of a vehicle and trim structure located about a periphery of the display unit. The trim structure can have an exterior surface configured to be exposed to an interior compartment of the vehicle. A substantially uniform and continuous adhesive layer can be located directly on and in contact with an entire extent of the exterior surface. Flocking can be applied by an air gun such that flocking is dispersed directly on and in contact with the adhesive layer and such that no backing layer exists between the flocking and the exterior surface. Some embodiments of the methods of flocking can include spraying an adhesive and spraying flocking onto trim for a head-up display device.

    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to an apparatus for detecting and suppressing DC electric arcs at a component, and are particularly adapted for vehicle wiring harnesses. The apparatus can include a detector circuit electrically connected to input and output terminals so as to be electrically connected in parallel to the component, the detector circuit being configured to detect a significant voltage spike across the component upon the component actuating between open and closed positions. The detector circuit can also be configured to transmit a control signal upon detecting the significant voltage spike. The detector circuit can include multiple circuit elements, enabling both the detection of the significant voltage spike and the transmission of the control signal, that are directly electrically connected to each other. A switching circuit conducts electricity from the power source side of the component to the load side of the component upon receipt of the control signal.

    Abstract: A grommet includes a body portion defining a first aperture and a second aperture. A hollow channel extends between the first aperture and the second aperture. The channel is defined by an interior surface of the body portion. One or more engagement structures are defined by the interior surface of the grommet body portion, and are configured to engage one or more corresponding engagement structures provided about an exterior surface of a mounting structure engaged about and elongated member that is positioned within the hollow channel of the grommet.

    Abstract: A grommet assembly includes a wire harness and a grommet including a hollow channel configured to receive the wire harness therein. At least one rib extends inwards from and substantially annularly about the interior surface of the hollow channel. At least one port configured to fluidly couple the hollow channel with an exterior environment is defined by the grommet. Material is injected into the channel through the port to secure the grommet relative to the wire harness. The material injected into the channel flows through interstices located between adjacent wires that define the wire harness so as to encapsulate the wires. The injected material also flows into other voids and openings located within the hollow channel. Upon setting, the injected material is configured to prevent movement of the grommet relative to the wire harness and to prevent the passage of contaminants through the grommet assembly.

    Abstract: A terminal-thermistor assembly may include a thermistor and a terminal. The thermistor may include a body encasing a temperature-sensing element. The terminal may include a shaft and a housing disposed on an end of the shaft. The housing may include a cavity, a protrusion extending into the cavity and a cantilevered spring element. The spring element may be resiliently flexible between a first position in which a space between the spring element and the protrusion is less than a thickness of the body of the thermistor and a second position in which the space between the spring element and the protrusion is equal to the thickness of the body. A first surface of the thermistor body may contact the spring element and a second surface of the thermistor body opposite the first surface may contact the protrusion when the body is received within the cavity.
