    摘要: A removable component system may include a removable component selectively connectable to a mounting surface including a component electrical unit; an antenna; a system controller configured to communicate with the component electrical unit and the antenna; and/or a track assembly configured to be fixed to said mounting surface. The removable component may be selectively connectable to said mounting surface via the track assembly. The removable component may be configured for selective connection with, removal from, and movement along the track assembly. The system controller may be configured to obtain a position of the removable component relative to said mounting surface via the antenna and the component electrical unit (e.g., via a component controller, a sensor, and/or a communication device thereof).

    摘要: An electrical assembly includes a track assembly, a support member configured to move along the track assembly, a first ECU connected to the support member, and a second electronic control unit (ECU) connected to the track assembly and configured to provide power from a power source to the track assembly. The first ECU may be configured to disconnect the electrical load and/or cause the electrical load to operate in a low-current mode if a connection system is partially engaged. The second ECU may have a first mode in which the second ECU provides power in a first voltage range to the track assembly. The second ECU may have a second mode in which the second ECU provides power in a second voltage range. The second ECU may be configured to switch between the first mode and the second mode according to information from the first ECU.

    摘要: An electrical assembly includes a power converter, a track assembly, and a support assembly. The power converter may include a first portion and/or a second portion. The track assembly may be connected to the first portion. The support assembly may be selectively connectable to the track assembly, and/or the support assembly may include the second portion of the power converter. The support assembly may be configured to move along the track assembly. The first portion of the power converter may be configured to selectively electrically connect with the second portion of the power converter via the track assembly to provide power from a power source to the support assembly. The support assembly may include a locking member, and/or the locking member may be configured to selectively engage the track assembly to limit movement of the support assembly relative to the track assembly in at least one direction.

    摘要: An electrical system may include a mounting surface, a component configured for connection with the mounting surface and configured to move relative to the mounting surface, and/or an orientation sensor configured to determining an orientation of the component relative to the mounting surface. The orientation sensor may include a first sensor (e.g., a magnetometer, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, etc.) connected, at least indirectly, to the mounting surface, and a second sensor (e.g., a magnetometer, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, etc.) connected to move with the component. The orientation sensor may include an electronic controller. The electronic controller may be configured to compare first information from the first sensor to second information from the second sensor to determine the orientation of the component relative to the mounting surface.
