摘要: An apparatus for measuring vehicle acceleration includes a housing comprising an interior space and one or more contacts supported in the housing. Each contact includes a pin portion extending outside the housing and a spring contact portion positioned above an ASIC receptacle inside the housing. An accelerometer ASIC is positioned the ASIC receptacle. The accelerometer ASIC includes contact pads that engage and deflect the spring contact portions. The resilient spring characteristics of the spring contact portions applying a retention force on the accelerometer ASIC. A retention clip connected to the housing has a portion extending into the interior space and includes a portion that engages the housing to secure the retention clip in the housing. The retention clip includes portions that engage and maintain the position(s) of the contact(s) inside the housing, and portions that engage the accelerometer ASIC and maintain the position of the accelerometer ASIC inside the housing.

摘要: A modular power steering apparatus includes a rotatable shaft, which is selectively rotatable to effect turning movement of at least one vehicle wheel. A housing supports the rotatable shaft for rotation relative thereto, about a shaft axis. A first rotational input assembly is provided for transmitting a steering command from a steering member to the rotatable shaft. A second rotational input assembly is operatively connected with the rotatable shaft. The second rotational input assembly is configured to apply a rotational force to the rotatable shaft. The apparatus includes a plurality of drive stations. Each drive station is configured to selectively accept both of the first and second rotational input assemblies for operating connection to the rotatable shaft at different times.

摘要: A driver assist system for a vehicle includes a housing and a lens having an axial end extending into the housing. A first printed circuit board (PCB) is connected to the housing. The first PCB has a rigid portion and a flexible portion. The rigid portion and the flexible portion extend along a common axis. An image sensor is mounted on the rigid portion of the PCB adjacent the axial end of the lens.

摘要: Systems and methods fuse sensor data in a vehicle. The system includes an image processor formed as a first system on a chip (SoC) to process images obtained from outside the vehicle by a camera to classify and identify objects. A surround-view processor formed as a second SoC processes close-in images obtained from outside the vehicle by a surround-view camera to classify and identify obstructions within a specified distance of the vehicle. The close-in images are closer to the vehicle than the images obtained by the camera. An ultrasonic processor obtains distance to one or more of the obstructions, and a fusion processor formed as a microcontroller fuses information from the surround-view processor and the ultrasonic processor based on a speed of the vehicle being below a threshold value.

摘要: An apparatus for use in turning steerable vehicle wheels includes a steering member which is axially movable relative to the vehicle to effect turning movement of the steerable vehicle wheels. A ball nut assembly is connected with an externally threaded portion of the steering member. A first motor connected with the ball nut assembly by a belt is operable to effect rotation of the ball nut assembly relative to the steering member. A second motor connected with the ball nut assembly and the first motor by the belt is operable to effect rotation of the ball nut assembly relative to the steering member.

摘要: A method for determining an occupant class for a vehicle seat includes obtaining, via first and second seat weight sensors, first and second seat weight indications for the vehicle seat. The first seat weight sensor is located on the lateral side of the vehicle seat at a front location on the vehicle seat. The second seat weight sensor is located on the lateral side of the vehicle seat at a rear location on the vehicle seat. The method also includes obtaining a vehicle acceleration value from a vehicle acceleration sensor. The method also includes determining a raw weight on the vehicle seat as twice the sum of the first and second seat weight indications, and determining a filtered weight based on the raw weight. The method further includes determining the occupant class based on the filtered weight in response to the vehicle acceleration value being less than a predetermined value.

摘要: A steering apparatus is for turning steerable wheels of a vehicle. The steering apparatus includes a steering wheel rotatable about a steering axis to effect turning of the steerable vehicle wheels. A first shaft is connected to the steering wheel and rotatable about a first shaft axis. A first nut is threadably connected to and longitudinally movable along the first shaft. A second nut is connected to the first nut such that the first and second nuts are prevented from moving longitudinally relative to one another. A second shaft is rotatable about a second shaft axis. The second nut is threadably connected to and longitudinally movable along the second shaft. A motor is connected to the second shaft and controllable to apply a force to the steering wheel through the first and second shafts and the first and second nuts.

摘要: Systems and methods for evaluating an optical device include a pattern source that provides a pattern suitable for use in the evaluating the optical device. The optical device images the pattern to provide an image. The optical device has an optical device and an image sensor, with an associated image sensor plane. An image analysis system determines, from the image, a tip and a tilt for a component of the optical device relative to the image sensor plane that maximizes a depth of focus for the optical device.
