摘要： A system for controlling fluid flow about a vehicle. The system comprises a fluid flow control device, an obstacle sensor for detecting obstacles, and a controller. The fluid flow control device has a body with at least one surface and an actuation means in operative communication with the surface. The actuation means is operative to alter at least one attribute of the fluid flow control device in response to a control signal. The controller has control logic for generating the control signal in response to the obstacle sensor.

摘要： An active air intake adapted for selectively regulating fluid flow into an engine generally includes a housing defining an opening, a covering member disposed relative to the opening and translatable between opened and closed conditions, an actuator including an active material element operable to effect movement of the member, a load limit protector configured to present a secondary output path for the element, an overheat protection mechanism for preventing unintentional activation and stress loads in the element, a biasing mechanism for returning the member to the original condition, and a latching mechanism for retaining the member in the closed condition.

摘要： A control cable end connector offering positive locking and positive sealing features for control cable connection. A connector feature is molded on the cable sleeve becoming a permanent part of the cable assembly. An acoustic cup is positioned on the connector which slides along the connector and includes two cantilevered locking hooks. The connector locates through an opening in a substantially flat portion of a wall by capturing the wall between two flanges. The acoustic cup seals the end connector area of the wall and snaps into the substantially flat wall providing a positive lock against the removal of the connector.
