    摘要: A trim cover assembly for a vehicle seat assembly, a vehicle seat assembly, and a method of assembling the trim cover are provided. The trim cover assembly has a first trim member with a first surface to form a seating surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. A second trim member is provided for connection to a seat member, and has first and second side regions each extending between first and second end regions. The first and second end regions are connected adjacent to first and second edges of the first trim member, respectively. A central region of the second trim member is connected to the second surface of the first trim member via a first seam.

    摘要: An axle assembly that includes a first gear mechanism, a second gear mechanism, and a differential assembly. The first gear mechanism and the differential assembly may be rotatable about a first axis. The second gear mechanism may be rotatable about a second axis. Torque may be transmitted between the first gear mechanism and the differential via the second gear mechanism.

    摘要: A system and method for converting a passive protector earmuff to a communication and/or active noise reduction (ANR) headset include mounting active components to a frame subassembly configured for insertion into the passive earcup to divide the earcup volume into a front cavity without additional passive leak paths and a back cavity having a volume that improves speaker/driver power efficiency with a resistive vent to atmosphere. An earcup having an external shell includes a frame configured for positioning within the external shell and having a first support adapted to contact an interior of the shell and a second circumferential support cooperating with a seal to contact an ear seal plate of the earcup to form the front and back cavities. The frame may support a speaker between the front and back cavity, and secure circuitry within the back cavity.

    摘要: A vehicle and method for controlling a vehicle having a traction battery and an internal combustion engine include adapting a power limitation of the internal combustion engine by sensing a currently supplied power level of the internal combustion engine and a current velocity of the vehicle, sensing an ambient temperature of the vehicle and determining an associated ambient-temperature-related weighting factor, sensing an ambient air pressure and determining an associated air-pressure-related weighting factor, determining a thermal load indicator as a function of a ratio of the sensed currently supplied power and the sensed current velocity as well as of the ambient-temperature-related weighting factor, the air-pressure-related weighting factor, and a vehicle-bodywork-related weighting factor, and limiting a maximum supplied power level of the internal combustion engine as a function of the determined thermal load indicator.

    摘要: A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) includes an inverter control system connected to a transmission such that the connection secures the inverter control system to the transmission during operation while allowing limited pivoting or rotating of the inverter control system relative to the transmission during a frontal collision to modify the translational motion and reduce or avoid loading of rigid objects or components between the inverter control system and the vehicle cabin or occupant compartment. Positioning of an electric cable conduit or connector near or adjacent to the pivot or rotational axis reduces translational force on the conductors to reduce or avoid damage during a frontal collision.
