Abstract: An electromechanical biasing member for moving a closure panel between an open and a closed position relative to a motor vehicle body is provided. The electromechanical biasing member includes a housing having an inner cavity for housing an electric motor having a motor shaft and a rotary output member rotatable relative to the housing. An extension member within the housing and engageable with the rotary output member moves the closure panel between the open and closed positions in response to driving the electric motor. Also provided is a control unit positioned within the inner cavity and configured to drive the electric motor, the control unit including at least one controller board juxtaposed to the electric motor, and a plurality of control components mounted to the at least one controller board and configured to supply a drive signal to the electric motor and receive signals representative of operation of the electric motor.

Abstract: An interrupter includes: an intermittent member having a meshing tooth meshing with a second rotary member, and moving in an axial direction between a coupled position and an uncoupled position; and an actuator making the intermittent member move in the axial direction. The actuator includes: a coil generating magnetic flux; and a plunger moving with the intermittent member in the axial direction. The plunger is disposed in a manner capable of making relative rotation to one of the first and second rotary members via first and second air gaps. When the coil is energized, the magnetic flux is introduced to the plunger from one of the first and second air gaps, the magnetic flux is led out of the plunger to the other air gap, and the plunger moves in the axial direction so as to reduce at least one air gap of the first and second air gaps.

Abstract: A mechanical diode to transfer torque between a first torque member and a second torque member is described, and includes a first race element, a second race element and a slide plate that are coaxially disposed in the housing. The slide plate includes a tab element projecting radially outwardly. The slide plate is rotatable to one of a first position and a second position. A spring element is disposed between the slide plate and one of the first and second race elements, and is configured to urge the slide plate to the first position. A controllable braking element is disposed to apply a braking force to the tab element of the slide plate to urge the slide plate to achieve the second position in response to a control signal.

Abstract: Disclosed are engine flexplates with integrated engine disconnects, methods for making and for using such flexplates, and motor vehicles with an engine flexplate having an integrated engine disconnect device. An engine flexplate assembly is disclosed for operatively coupling an engine to a hydrokinetic torque converter. The flexplate assembly includes a disk-shaped body with a central hub that rigidly attaches on the fore side thereof to the engine output shaft for common rotation therewith. A disconnect device, which is positioned on the aft side of the disk-shaped body, includes concentric inner and outer races. The outer race is rigidly attached to the disk-shaped body for common rotation therewith. The inner race rigidly attaches to the front cover of the TC housing for common rotation therewith. The disconnect device operatively disconnects the engine output shaft from the TC housing front cover when a torque transmitted therebetween reverses direction.

Abstract: A front differential for a four wheel drive vehicle including a pinion assembly with first and second pinions that are engaged with a ring gear assembly with first and second ring gears. The first pinion and first ring gear combination are rotatable independent from the second pinion and second ring gear combination, thus permitting one to rotate relative to the other. The first pinion and first ring gear combination are adapted to rotate one driven shaft, and the second pinion and second ring gear combination are adapted to rotate the other driven shaft. A bi-directional overrunning clutch assembly is engaged with an end of the drive shaft and includes one set of rolls located adjacent to the first pinion shaft, and another set of rolls located adjacent to the second pinion shaft. The clutch assembly control torque transmission between the pinion shafts and the drive shaft.

Abstract: A bi-directional clutch is provided having inner and outer members disposed about a rotational axis. One or more pawls are coupled to one of the members and configured for rotation about separate rotational axes. One end of each pawl moves between first and second engagement positions with corresponding engagement surfaces formed in the other member and a position of disengagement with the other member permitting relative rotation of the inner and outer members. A pair of magnets are disposed at the opposite end of each pawl with each magnet in the pair defining a pole adjacent the end of the pawl and the poles having opposite polarity. An electromagnetic actuator selectively generates electromagnetic fields of different polarities to urge the pawls away from the position of disengagement to one of the engagement positions to cause rotation of the other member in either rotational direction.
