    摘要: A motor electronics unit includes a printed circuit board having a first and a second side. An electrical conductor is connected to the printed circuit board. A heat sink is positioned proximate to the printed circuit board. A housing of a polymeric material includes: an endcap encapsulating the printed circuit board and covering an outer edge of the heat sink defining a heat sink first portion, with a second portion of the heat sink not covered by the polymeric material and extending through and outward from the endcap to transfer heat from the printed circuit board. A first section of the electrical conductor extends through and is partially encapsulated by the endcap. A connector body is integrally connected to the housing. A second section of the electrical conductor is exposed within a cavity of the connector body to electrically connect the printed circuit board to another component.

    摘要: A heterogeneous convolutional neural network (HCNN) system includes a visual reception system generating an input image. A feature extraction layer (FEL) portion of convolutional neural networks includes multiple convolution, pooling and activation layers stacked together. The FEL includes multiple stacked layers, a first set of layers learning to represent data in a simple form including horizontal and vertical lines and blobs of colors. Following layers capture more complex shapes such as circles, rectangles, and triangles. Subsequent layers pick up complex feature combinations to form a representation including wheels, faces and grids. The FEL portion outputs data to each of: a first sub-network which performs a first task of object detection, classification, and localization for classes of objects in the input image to create a detected object table; and a second sub-network which performs a second task of defining a pixel level segmentation to create a segmentation data set.

    摘要: In at least some implementations, a multiple position actuator, includes a motor, a gearset driven by the motor, an output driven by the gearset between at least two positions, and a clutch arranged between the gearset and the output to permit relative rotation between the output and gearset. The gearset, output and clutch may be coaxially arranged. The clutch may include at least two movable elements that move relative to one or both of the output and gearset to permit relative rotation between the clutch and gearset in two opposed rotational directions. In at least some implementations, the gearset provides a torque to the output that is at least 50 times greater than the torque of the motor.

    摘要: In at least some implementations, an actuator includes a motor, an output rotated by the motor about an axis, and a housing having an interior in which the motor and electrical component are received. The housing includes a first housing part and a second housing part coupled to the first housing part to define at least part of the interior. The first housing part has a first mounting surface and the second housing part having a second mounting surface arranged to overlap the first mounting surface when the second housing part and first housing part are coupled together and wherein the first mounting surface and second mounting surface are both arranged at an acute angle relative to a plane perpendicular to the axis.

    摘要: A battery pack safety system for a battery powered vehicle includes a vehicle battery pack having at least one battery cell positioned in a bay of a frame. Multiple sensors are each supported by the frame. A safety module in communication with each of the multiple sensors collects an output of each of the sensors for transmission to a vehicle computer unit. A safety module power supply provides backup power for operation of the multiple sensors and the safety module when an electrical charge of the battery pack is unavailable. A warning module is in communication with the safety module. The warning module when initiated by a signal from the safety module in response to an output signal generated by any of the multiple sensors energizes a signaling device providing external vehicle indication of a status of the battery pack.
