| 20090139365 | Cable Assembly Conduit Condensation Drain - A cable assembly having a condensation drain provided for the conduit thereof, wherein moisture is enabled to escape the conduit through a drainage opening of the condensation drain, yet the operative interaction between the cable and the conduit of the cable assembly is unaffected by the presence of the condensation drain. The condensation drain may be provided with a drip initiator which assists removal of the moisture from the conduit. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090322119 | Adaptive Sealing Device for Vehicle Door - A sealing device is provided for a vehicle having a door movable between a closed and an opened position. The door defines a fishmouth aperture. A striker pin is configured to enter the fishmouth aperture when the door closes and exit the fishmouth aperture when the door opens. The sealing device is configured to at least partially seal the fishmouth aperture while allowing the striker pin to enter and exit the fishmouth aperture. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100127516 | Latch release system for a door assembly of a vehicle - A latching system includes a handle, a latch, a release rod, an arm portion, and a finger portion. The handle is attached to the door assembly and includes an escutcheon and a grip portion movable relative to the escutcheon between a first position, a second position, and a third position. The latch is attached to the door assembly and the release rod extends from the latch. The arm portion rotates relative to the escutcheon in response to moving the grip portion. The finger portion pivotally extends from the arm portion to an engagement member that is disengaged from the release rod when the pull grip is in the first position, engages the release rod when the pull grip is in the second position, and moves the release rod away from the handle and toward the latch to operate the latch when the pull grip is in the third position. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20110091725 | Integral Anti-Rattle Feature for Cables - A cable having an anti-rattle feature which is integrally formed of the cable casing at the time of forming of the cable casing. The integrated cable casing with anti-rattle feature is composed of a cable casing and a plurality of longitudinal fins radially emanating therefrom, wherein the cable casing and the longitudinal fins are formed simultaneously. According to a method of manufacture of the integrated cable casing with anti-rattle feature, a plastic forming apparatus includes an extrusion opening configured to simultaneously extrude the cable casing with the longitudinal fins. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20090076983 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OBJECT-ORIENTED MANAGEMENT OF MULTI-DIMENSIONAL DATA - Methods and systems for managing and analyzing multi-dimensional data are provided. Example embodiments provide a Meta-Object Data Management System “MODMS,” which enables users to arrange and to rearrange the hierarchical relationships of the data on an ad-hoc basis and allows the data to be analyzed using any set of attributes (dimensions) while the system is running. The MODMS represents heterogeneous data in a normalized (standardized) fashion using an object type management system that allows the arbitrary coercion of one type of object into another different type of object and automatically resolves attribute dependencies. In one embodiment, the MODMS comprises an object type management subsystem; a meta-object instantiation subsystem; one or more data repositories that hold, for example, the data used to populate objects and object type definitions; and an input/output interface. These components cooperate to allow the creation, management, and analysis of relationships between many different types of single and multi-dimensional data. In one embodiment, the MODMS is used to implement an enterprise portfolio management system. | 03-19-2009 |
