Abstract: A method of determining a volume of a fluid in a reservoir arranged in a vehicle includes assessing, via a controller, whether a first sensor operatively connected to the reservoir and configured to detect a predetermined level of the fluid in the reservoir has been triggered. The method also includes detecting, via a second sensor, a vehicle operative state indicative of inclination of a free surface of the fluid in the reservoir. The method additionally includes communicating, via the second sensor, the detected vehicle operative state to the electronic controller and determining a degree of inclination of the free surface of the fluid in response to the detected vehicle operative state. Furthermore, the method includes determining, via the controller, the volume of the fluid in the reservoir when the first sensor has been triggered in response to the determined degree of inclination of the free surface of the fluid.

Abstract: A vehicle frame structure including a pair of elongated mid bay rails with a cross beam extending between rear ends of the pair of mid bay rails. A pair of elongated rear bay rails define an overlapping joint with the pair of elongated mid bay rails, wherein a first pair of reinforcement members connect forward ends of the pair of rear bay rails to the pair of elongated mid bay rails and a second pair of reinforcement members connect rearward ends of the pair of mid bay rails to the pair of elongated rear bay rails.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle includes a body with a cabin. The cabin includes a cabin floor, and a rail member is disposed within the cabin. The vehicle also includes a frame having a frame structural member. The vehicle additionally includes a body structural member disposed below the cabin floor. The vehicle further includes a first bulkhead disposed between the body structural member and the cabin floor, and a second bulkhead disposed between the body structural member and the cabin floor. A gap is provided between at least a portion of the first bulkhead and the second bulkhead. A first fastener secures the body structural member to the frame structural member. The first fastener passes through a first location in the gap. A second fastener secures the body structural member to the rail member. The second fastener passes through a second location in the gap.

Abstract: An assembly includes a fiber-reinforced composite structure, a bushing, and a fastener. The composite structure includes a composite panel on a first side, where the composite panel defines a hemispherical well. The structure further includes a plurality of stiffening ribs on a second side, which are affixed to the composite panel. The composite panel defines a first bore at the center of the hemispherical well, which extends through the structure. The bushing has a hemispherical end and a flat end, and defines a second bore from the center of the hemispherical end to the center of the flat end. The hemispherical end of the bushing is configured to nest within the hemispherical well defined by the composite structure such that the flat end of the bushing is flush with the surrounding composite panel. The fastener is configured to extend within both of the first bore and the second bore.
Abstract translation: 组件包括纤维增强复合结构,衬套和紧固件。 复合结构包括在第一侧上的复合板,其中复合板限定了半球形井。 该结构还包括在第二侧上的多个加强肋,其固定到复合板上。 复合面板在半球形孔的中心限定了第一孔,其延伸穿过该结构。 衬套具有半球形端部和平坦端部,并且从半球形端部的中心到平坦端部的中心限定第二孔。 衬套的半球形端部被配置为嵌套在由复合结构限定的半球形阱内,使得衬套的平坦端与周围的复合面板齐平。 紧固件构造成在第一孔和第二孔内延伸。
