Filed:

Jul 17, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/907389

Inventors:

Christopher C. Lang - Vernon Hills IL, US

Assignee:

Amphenol-T & M Antennas - Vernon Hills IL

International Classification:

H04B 1/38
H04M 1/00

US Classification:

455 903, 4555621, 343702, 343895, 343906

Abstract:

A retractable antenna for a wireless communicator includes an elongate radiator that slides through a helical radiator. An electrical contact alternately contacts one of the elongate radiator and the helical radiator depending on a position of the elongate radiator relative to the helical radiator. Mechanical disengagement is accomplished by the movement of the elongate radiator into a contact position with the electrical contact to disengage the helical conductor. A preferred feature of the antenna is that one of the helical radiator and elongate radiator make electrical contact with the wireless communicator circuits, even when the antenna is placed between a fully refracted and fully extended position. Multiple band operation is another feature of the retractable antenna due to its periodic nature. Ease of assembly is achieved through preferred individual snap fit components.

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.

International Classification:

B60L 53/22
H02J 50/10
H02J 7/02
B60L 53/12
B60L 53/30

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.

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.
