20130249459 | FILTER APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BRUSHLESS DC MOTORS - In a multi-phase brushless DC motor, a zero crossing N-bit filter includes a comparator and a phase multiplexer. The phase multiplexer connects each motor phase to each of a positive and a negative input of the comparator, with a switch in each connection to form a switch array. A microprocessor is disposed to operate the switches, and is configured to measure a BEMF for a first phase by opening the switches connecting all other phases to the positive input of the comparator and by opening the switch connecting the first phase being measured to the negative input of said comparator. The comparators output is received by a shift register. The microprocessor is configured to respond to a zero crossing when a majority of bits in the shift register change between high and low. | 09-26-2013 |

20140320654 | DEVICE WITH A CAMERA UNIT - The invention relates to a device with a camera unit, serving to take pictures of the outside of a motor vehicle, and a lid element movable via a drive between a closed position, in which the lid element covers an opening of the device and an open position, in which the lid element exposes the opening, wherein in the closed position of the lid element the camera unit is inaccessible from the outside behind the lid element and in the open position of the lid element pictures can be taken. According to the invention provision is made for the lid element to be an actuating element for the camera unit in order to move the camera unit between an idle position and an operating position. | 10-30-2014 |
20150183302 | HIDDEN DEVICE WITH TRANSLATING COVER - An assembly for deploying a device from a cavity. The assembly includes a translatable cover and a mounting surface defining an opening sized to receive the translatable cover thereover. The device is received in the cavity beneath the mounting surface and is actuatable between a first device position and a second device position. A plurality of linkages are positioned within the cavity. At least one of the plurality of linkages is coupled to a power source for actuating the plurality of linkages and at least one of the plurality of linkages is coupled to the translatable cover and to the device. Thus, when the power source actuates the plurality of linkages, the translatable cover is translated relative to the mounting surface from a first cover position to a second cover position and the device is actuated from the first device position to the second device position. | 07-02-2015 |
20150183366 | Vehicle Closure Release With Attached Deployable Camera - A closure release for a closure of a vehicle has a camera attached thereto. The closure release is moveable between a primary position and a secondary position. In the primary position, the camera is in a stowed position within the closure and the closure release is in accessible for user operation. In the secondary position, the closure release is moved relative to the closure such that the camera is moved into a deployed position to provide a desired field of view. | 07-02-2015 |
20150183380 | Multi-Positioning of a Camera or Other Sensing Device - A mechanism whereby a camera or other sensing type device is deployed into multiple positions as a result of inputs such as relative housing position, field of view assessment, and so forth to locate the device to allow an optimized position of the camera or sensor for the desired functionality. | 07-02-2015 |

20120153678 | MULTI LINK RETRACTING SEAL SURFACE MODULE - A seal module for sealing between a first door and a second door of opposing-hinged doors is moveable between an sealing position for sealing between the first door and the second door, and a withdrawn position longitudinally spaced from one of the first door and the second door to allow for independent pivotable movement of either the first door or the second door. A linkage system including a first swing arm and a second swing arm rotatably interconnects the seal module to the second door, and moves the seal module between the sealing position and the withdrawn position along an arcuate path that is disposed along a plane substantially perpendicular to an outer surface of the opposing-hinged doors. | 06-21-2012 |
20120291358 | LATCH ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE - A latching system includes a striker defining an outer width and a latch assembly. The latch assembly includes a support structure including a first side plate, a second side plate spaced from the first side plate, and a top plate fixedly attached to and extending between the first side plate and the second side plate. The first side plate and the second side plate are spaced from each other a separation distance that is greater than the outer width of the striker such that the outer width of the striker is completely disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate when the latch assembly is in a lock position. | 11-22-2012 |

20130328354 | INTEGRATED DOOR SCUFF PLATE AND WIRE SHIELD - A scuff plate assembly for use with an automotive vehicle door side sill includes an elongate scuff plate trim and a U-shaped wire shield for housing a wire harness. The scuff plate trim and wire shield are integrally coupled by a deformable living hinge that is disposed on an upper portion of the wire shield. | 12-12-2013 |
20140077516 | ASYMMETRICAL GRAB HANDLE FOR VEHICLE - A grab handle assembly for a vehicle has an asymmetrical handle that spans between a first end and a second end. The first end is operably coupled with an A-pillar of a frame of the vehicle. The second end is operably coupled with the A-pillar below the first end. The asymmetrical handle has a slanted portion and a curved portion, configured to provide a smooth downward transition between the A-pillar and the handle and to slidably deflect a forward moving object. The slanted portion extends down from the first end at a first angle. The curved portion protrudes outward and upward from the second end at a second angle to join the slanted portion. The first angle is less than the second angle and the first angle is less than thirty-five degrees, such that the first angle provides a smooth transition to the handle. | 03-20-2014 |

20140290804 | SILICON EUTECTIC ALLOY COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF MAKING BY ROTATIONAL CASTING - To carry out a rotational casting method of preparing a silicon eutectic alloy composition, silicon and one or more metallic elements M are melted together to form a eutectic alloy melt comprising the silicon and the one or more metallic elements M. A mold containing the eutectic alloy melt is rotated about a longitudinal axis thereof at a speed sufficient to form a rotating volume of the eutectic alloy melt in contact with an inner surface of the mold. Heat is directionally removed from the rotating volume of the eutectic alloy melt to directionally solidify the eutectic alloy melt, and a eutectic alloy composition, which includes the silicon, the one or more metallic elements M, and a eutectic aggregation of a first phase comprising the silicon and a second phase of formula MSi | 10-02-2014 |
20150050183 | CONTAINMENT OF MOLTEN MATERIALS HAVING SILICON - Silicon eutectic alloy compositions and methods for making the same are disclosed. In one approach, a method may include using a glass carbon container to restrict contamination of the eutectic alloy melt. In an alternative approach, a method may include using a container having aluminum. The aluminum in the container may provide aluminum that is incorporated into the silicon eutectic alloy. Silicon eutectic bodies made by such methods are also disclosed. | 02-19-2015 |
