摘要： An apparatus for cooling electrical components contained inside an enclosed housing, which is positioned proximate to a dashboard of a vehicle, includes an inlet pipe which receives a forced air flow and an outlet pipe which expels air from the enclosed housing. The inlet pipe receives the forced air flow either from a fan or from an air intake mechanism which supplies filtered air to an intake manifold of the vehicle engine. The air intake mechanism also maintains the temperature of the vehicle battery at a predetermined temperature by use of heated air from the engine exhaust manifold.

The apparatus includes a receiving unit disposed within the vehicle and a key fob transmitter for transmitting a plurality of signals to the receiving unit. The transmitter includes a transmitting unit for transmitting the plurality of signals to the receiving unit, a control unit operatively connected to the transmitting unit for controlling transmission of the plurality of signals and a diagnostic gathering and storage unit electrically connected to the control unit for supplying diagnostic data to the control unit. Additionally, the transmitter includes a key fob unit selectively connected to the control unit and to the diagnostic unit. The arrangement is such that in a first operative disposition of the key fob unit, the key fob triggers the control unit so that a first signal of the plurality of signals is generated by the transmitter unit for reception by the receiving unit. In a second operative disposition of the key fob, the key fob triggers the diagnostic unit so that a second signal of the plurality of signals is generated by the transmitting unit for reception by the receiving unit. The second signal containing diagnostic information pertaining to the key fob, the receiving unit provides a diagnostic report after reception of the second signal.

摘要： An interlocking terminal connection includes a pair of terminal plates each having a base portion with a hole for receiving a fastener. Each terminal plate further includes a pair of wing portions on either side of the base portion. The wing portions on a first terminal plate are displaced upwardly, while the wing portions on a second terminal plate are displaced downwardly. Each base portion includes a latch at the rearward end and a complementary latch window at its forward end. The base portion of the first terminal plate includes a plurality of downwardly deformed retaining members for preventing rotation of the terminal connection during mounting. Upon insertion of the first terminal plate into the second terminal plate, the base portions and wing portions interlock and the latch on each base portion is received within the latch window of the other base portion to prevent the release of the terminal plates. A fastener is then inserted through the holes in the base portions to secure the terminal plates to an object such as a grounding panel or frame.

摘要： An improved switch includes two moving contact members which move in parallel planes. The switch may be moved to either of two positions to complete either of two circuits. The contact members are normally biased to a central neutral position. Since the contact members move in a plane, rather than pivoting on a yoke, there is greater tolerance in positioning the moving contact members.

摘要： A vehicle includes a frame having an inner surface and a trim panel having an outer surface adapted to overlie the inner surface of the frame. A plurality of electrical devices are secured in the frame and the trim panel for carrying out various tasks and operations. A plurality of electrical wires are secured to the outer surface of the trim panel and electrically connect to the several electrical devices. Wire routing elements extend from the outer surface of the trim panel for individually and sequentially securing the plurality of electrical wires on the outer surface of the trim panel to eliminate the need for a prefabricated wiring harness. In a preferred embodiment, the routing element comprises opposed retainers. The opposed retainers ensure the wire is securely held on the trim panel. The routing elements may alternatively comprise a series of L-shaped posts between which the electrical wires are woven, a series of tabs having a V-shaped receiving notch into which the wires are seated, channels along which the electrical wires are secured by glue, or self-locking strap-like clamps for clamping the electrical wires to the trim panel. The individual electrical wires are routed directly, so that a separate wire harness is eliminated. Also, the subject method eliminates one step on the automobile assembly line process, namely the attachment of the prior art wiring harness to the door frame or to the trim panel.

摘要： A linkage has a coupled state, where actuation of a multi-functional apparatus causes an interference device to move between the locked position and the unlocked position, wherein in the locked position the interference device does not allow a handle for opening door latches to actuate, and in the unlocked position the interference device allows the handle to actuate. The linkage further has a decoupled state, where actuation of the manual actuation device causes the decoupling linkage to uncouple from the multi-functional apparatus, and causes the interference device to move between the locked and the unlocked positions without moving the multi-functional apparatus. This arrangement allows for a manual override of the power liftgate lock multi-functional apparatus.

摘要： A three state switch detection circuit converts a three state input to a two-bit binary output readable by a micro-controller or other digital logic. The circuit utilized complementary NPN and PNP transistors having coupled emitters and coupled bases connected by a resistor. The collector of the PNP transistor is connected by a resistor to ground while a complementary resistor ties the collector of the NPN transistor to V.sub.BATT. Additional circuitry preferably converts the voltage output from the collectors to a suitable voltage level readable by the micro-controller or other digital logic device.
