| 20110136429 | VEHICULAR WIRELESS PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION METHOD - A method and system for making payments from a vehicle using onboard wireless communication systems. A Near Field Communication (NFC) reader is placed a vehicle, such that a customer can pass an NFC-enabled phone or credit card near the reader to provide a source of funding for a purchase. A Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) radio onboard the vehicle communicates with a seller of products or services, such as a fast food restaurant, a parking garage, or a toll booth. The seller communicates to the vehicle the amount of a pending payment, the customer approves the payment within the vehicle, and the vehicle sends the authorization to the seller. The entire transaction is handled wirelessly, without the customer having to leave the vehicle or roll down a window. Pre-approval accounts can also be established for certain types of payments, thus making those payment transactions automatic. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20110238537 | WORK IN PROCESS INVENTORY ANALYSIS TOOL - A method of managing work-in-process (WIP) inventory includes receiving inputs, via a user interface of a computer processing device. The inputs correspond to variables defined for modules. Each of the modules includes a set of instructions for determining and quantifying a corresponding WIP inventory driver. The method also includes executing instructions on the inputs by one or more of the modules. The inputs are applied to corresponding modules based on respective variables defined for the modules. The method further includes deriving a quantified WIP inventory resulting from execution of the instructions categorized by corresponding WIP inventory drivers. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20080201934 | FASTENER MANUFACTURING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD - The present invention is an assembly and method for continuously manufacturing fasteners. A die press actuated at a first speed receives the contoured wire into a die having a piercing element for piercing an aperture and a cutting element for cutting a fastener from the wire. A guide receives the fasteners from the die press and a drive unit engages the fasteners oriented by the guide and conveys the fastener to an elevated height relative to a tapping device. The guide redirects the fasteners by a first router. The fasteners are gravity fed into the first router and redirected to one of the tapping devices. Each tapping device has a tapping element for forming internal ribs in the aperture of the fastener. The tapping devices each actuates at a second speed that in aggregate is generally equal to the first speed of the die press. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080207341 | FASTENER MANUFACTURING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An assembly line for continuously manufacturing fasteners from a rod with a groove for receiving a wire for retaining the fasteners in a strip includes a receiver for receiving the rod. A die press is arranged to receive the rod from the receiver and includes a piercing member for piercing an aperture in each fastener and a cutting member for cutting each fastener from the rod. A tapping member provides ribs to an inner wall of the aperture formed in the fastener by the piercing member. An inspector inspects the internal rib formed into the inner wall of the aperture disposed in the fastener verifying exactness of the aperture and the rib. A wire inserter inserts the wire into the groove forming a strip of connected fasteners. The inserter receives the fasteners sequentially from the inspector after verification of the exactness of the aperture disposed in each fastener. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20090155680 | POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM - A power supply system includes a number of battery cells connected in rows in an end-to-end fashion to form a battery module. A number of these battery modules are placed into a housing to form a battery brick, which is a basic building block that can be used to create a larger battery assembly. The power supply system may include locators to position individual battery cells within a row, to help ensure proper alignment of battery terminals extending outside the battery housing. Terminal connectors can be used to reduce the magnitude of the voltage seen across exposed terminals. The terminal connectors connect two of the battery terminals, while covering, and inhibiting access to, adjacent battery terminals. The power supply system may also include sensor stations to facilitate use of temperature sensors such that uniformity of airflow around the battery cells is maintained regardless of how many temperature sensors are used. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20080271937 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POWERING A POWER CONSUMING VEHICLE ACCESSORY DURING AN OFF STATE OF THE VEHICLE - A hybrid battery system of an automotive vehicle provides power to various features without running an internal combustion engine. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090278500 | AUTOMOTIVE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME - A battery control module monitors discharge voltages associated with a traction battery of an automotive vehicle. The battery control module cycles the traction battery at a discharge-voltage dependent charge/discharge profile to generate heat within the traction battery. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20110043307 | Vehicle Power System And Electrical Contactor For Use With Same - A vehicle power system includes an electrical power source, an electrical bus, and a contactor electrically connected with the electrical power source and electrical bus. The contactor includes first and second poles, dual plungers each operatively associated with one of the first and second poles, and an electromagnetic coil configured to cause at least one of the dual plungers to move if the coil is energized. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110163720 | System and method for rebalancing a vehicle battery - A vehicle may include an electric machine, a battery, a driver interface and one or more controllers. The one or more controllers may be configured to determine whether a battery imbalance condition exists, to cause an alert to be generated via the driver interface if a battery imbalance condition exists, to determine whether a response to the alert is received, and to cause the battery to be rebalanced in a single cycle if a response to the alert is received. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20100080263 | Sensor Arrangement And Method For Using Same - A sensor arrangement includes, in some embodiments, a magnetostrictive element configured to output magnetic signals in response to a magnetic field. A sensor is configured to sense a value of a property of a selected object, and to provide an electrical resistance that varies in response to variations in the sensed value. The sensor cooperates with the magnetostrictive element to vary the frequency of the signals output by the magnetostrictive element based on variations of the electrical resistance provided by the sensor. A transmitter provides an alternating magnetic field to the magnetostrictive element, and a receiver picks up the magnetic signals generated by the magnetostrictive element. The frequency of the signals received is correlated with the sensor resistance, and the resistance is correlated to a value of the property sensed. | 04-01-2010 |
