Filed:

Nov 10, 2020

Appl. No.:

17/094009

Inventors:

- Tokyo, JP
Christopher E. LANG - Delaware OH, US

International Classification:

B60K 11/04
B60L 58/26

Abstract:

A thermal management system having a first mode of operation configured to transfer heat from a first plurality of components of a vehicle in the first fluid flow path and to selectively transfer heat to at least one of a second plurality of components in a second fluid flow path; a second mode of operation configured to transfer heat from the first plurality of components in the first fluid flow path and selectively transfer heat from the second plurality of components in an alternative second fluid flow path; and a third mode of operation configured to transfer heat from both the first plurality and the second plurality of components of the vehicle in a third fluid flow path. A controller is operable to selectively change the mode of operation between the first mode of operation, the second mode of operation and the third mode of operation based on operating conditions of the vehicle.

Abstract:

An electrified vehicle includes a frame with first and second longitudinal members and first and second transverse members, and a front subframe located forwardly of the frame. A wireless charging pad is located rearwardly of the front subframe between the longitudinal and transverse members of the frame. A support structure for preventing damage to the wireless charging pad includes first and second structural support members extending along opposite sides of the wireless charging pad, and a transverse structural support member extending between the first and second structural support members.

Inventors:

- Seattle WA, US
Christopher Karl Lang - Irvine CA, US
Ozgur Cem Sen - Santa Clara CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/08
H04L 29/06

Abstract:

A system for registering an input-limited device such as a media player with a captive access point that requires completion of a portal web page prior to allowing client devices access to a network such as the Internet. Such captive access points are commonly found in hotels, and may be used for both freely provided public WiFi and for connections that require providing payment. For registration, the input-limited device operates as a proxy, relaying communications with the captive access point back-and-forth to a second device with rich user-input capabilities via an independent communications channel. Registration information is provided to the access point as though it originated with the media player, allowing the media player to acquire access to the network.

Filed:

Jun 5, 2013

Appl. No.:

13/910487

Inventors:

Christopher Lang - Dublin OH, US

Assignee:

HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. - Tokyo

International Classification:

B60R 16/03

US Classification:

307 91

Abstract:

An electrical system for providing power to an accessory in a vehicle is provided. The electrical system includes a power source, a relay coupled to the power source, an accessory socket coupled to the relay, and a switch coupled to the relay and disposed at least partially within the accessory socket. The accessory socket is configured such that the switch is in a closed state when an accessory is coupled to the accessory socket and the switch is in an open state when the accessory is not coupled to the accessory socket. When the switch is in the closed state, the relay consumes power from the power source and when the switch is in the open state, the relay does not consume power from the power source.
