International Classification:

B60Q 1/00

US Classification:

340455, 340438

Abstract:

US Classification:

701 291

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes detecting a reportable change in vehicle state. The method also includes qualifying the reportable change for delivery based on evaluation of one or more situational variables associated with the reportable change. Further, the method includes delivering a notification relating to the reportable change to a wireless to be delivered to a device user despite an active do not disturb state of the wireless device, conditional on the qualification of the reportable change as deliverable.

US Classification:

180 6521, 454 75, 180 651, 903904

Abstract:

Air is supplied from a passenger cabin of a vehicle to an intake passage between the passenger cabin and a battery of the vehicle. The vehicle may be an electric vehicle such as a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) or a battery-only electric vehicle (BEV). A signal indicating a blockage of air flow through the battery is generated in response to a difference in temperature exceeding a predetermined magnitude. The difference in temperature is between (i) the intake passage and (ii) the passenger cabin.

US Classification:

180 651, 180 681

Abstract:

An interior body trim assembly includes a trim panel and a closure member. The trim panel has an indented panel portion with an outline of part of an outer boundary of a passage. The closure member meets the trim panel with a portion of the closure member extending over the indented panel portion. The portion of the closure member and the indented panel portion complete the outer boundary of the passage and thereby form the passage.

International Classification:

F16H 57/04

US Classification:

74607

Abstract:

A system for lubricating a differential mechanism includes a housing containing a ring gear, a pinion meshing with the ring gear, a sump containing fluid, and a reservoir that receives fluid flung from the ring gear as the ring gear rotates through the sump fluid, and an orifice restricting the flow rate of fluid from the reservoir.

Abstract:

A vehicle includes a body including a first frame rail and a second frame rail and a cross-brace directly connected to the first frame rail and the second frame rail. A powertrain-electrification component is supported by the cross-brace. A vehicle subframe is directly connected to the cross-brace. A vehicle-steering gear is connected to the subframe. The direct connection of the subframe to the cross-brace dampens vibration, e.g., road vibration and noise, in the subframe to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness transferred to a vehicle occupant through the vehicle-steering gear.

Abstract:

This disclosure details integrated mounting systems for mounting electric drive components within electrified vehicles. An exemplary mounting system may include a cross brace assembly that mounts or supports one or more electric drive components relative to a vehicle frame. A cross brace assembly of the mounting system may include a cross brace, a first bridging side bracket, and a second bridging side bracket. The cross brace may be mounted to lower surfaces of vehicle frame rails and the bridging side brackets may be mounted to upper surfaces of the vehicle frame rails to provide a robust and serviceable mounting solution that evenly distributes vehicle loads.
