A system for using an electrostatic force to cause an object to adhere to a surface of a vehicle can include an electrode and a device. The electrode can be configured to be disposed within a structure of the vehicle. The structure can define the surface. A shape of the electrode can define a shape of a region of the surface. The device can be configured to connect the electrode to a voltage source so that, at a time at which the electrode is connected to the voltage source, an electric charge is produced on the electrode to produce the electrostatic force capable of causing the object to adhere to the surface. For example, the surface can include a dashboard, a dashboard vent frame, a sunglasses holder cover, or the like. For example, the object can include a mobile device, a cup, a pair of sunglasses, or the like.

A glove box lighting device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a switch unit (100) including a sliding rod (110) configured to linearly move in accordance with opening/closing of a glove box door (400); a lamp unit (200) including a lamp (220) configured to be turned on when power is supplied thereto and being configured to be fixed at one side of the glove box housing; and a wire (300) connecting the switch unit (100) and the lamp unit (200) to conduct electricity to each other. The glove box lighting device is configured such that the sliding rod (110) linearly moves and protrudes when the glove box door (400) is open, so as to supply power to the lamp (220).

An example energy source for a work machine includes multiple battery cells connectable in parallel to form a battery system having a high pole and a low pole, a load bus to distribute energy from the battery system to the work machine, and a single point of connection between the battery system and the load bus. The single point of connection is a connector including a dual-pole single-throw (DPST) switch. The DPST switch includes a dual-switched circuit path to connect the high pole and the low pole to the load bus, and a single-switched circuit path to provide a switched connection of a high voltage interlock loop (HVIL) circuit.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle door switch actuating apparatus (100). The apparatus includes an actuating element (104) having an actuating surface (110), a mechanical switch (112), and a mechanism for transferring a compressive force applied by a user to the actuating surface (110) onto the mechanical switch (112) in order to flip the mechanical switch (112). The mechanism includes: a first component (102) on which the mechanical switch (112) is fixed at least in the switching direction; and a lever (120) pivotally supported about a pivot axis (124) relative to the first component (102) or the first component group and connected to the actuating element (104) via a first bearing on a first side (111) of the actuating surface (110). The actuating element (104) is supported on the first component (102) or the first component group via a second bearing on a second side (113) of the actuating surface (110). The actuating element (104) is flexibly configured such that, when manual pressure is applied to the actuating surface (110), it flexibly bends, thereby causing a change in the distance between the first bearing and the second bearing, in particular a shortening or lengthening of the distance, and thus causes the lever to pivot about the pivot axis (124). The mechanical switch (112) is arranged such that, by pivoting the lever, the mechanical switch (112) is flipped. The lever (120) extends substantially parallel to the first side (111) of the actuating surface (110).

A method to retrofit a transparent window which does not comprise an electric heating device, such as a vehicle windshield, with a transparent window having an electric heating device. The method includes (i) removing from the vehicle the transparent window which does not comprise an electric heating device, (ii) installing a transparent window, provided with an electric heating device, such as a heating layer, and at least one temperature sensor, to obtain a retrofitted heating transparent window, (iii) connecting the electric heating device to a voltage supply device such that by applying a heating voltage to the transparent window, and (iv) connecting a remote control device with the at least one temperature sensor and the voltage supply device.

A proximity switch assembly and method are provided having wrong touch feedback and adaptive learning. The method includes the steps of detecting multiple attempted activations of a proximity switch that is not allowed, and adjusting one or more settings based on the detected multiple attempted activations to provide adaptive learning. The method also includes the steps of detecting an allowed activation of the proximity switch based on the adjusted one or more settings, and performing an action in response to the detected allowed activation. The proximity switch assembly includes one or more user perceived feedback devices for generating user perceived feedback when an attempted activation that is not allowed is detected.

Provided is a highly reliable electronic control device which has not only an effect of reducing costs but also an effect of facilitating a manufacturing process. To include a control board; a connector including a terminal connected to the control board; and a housing case to which the control board and the connector are fixed. The control board has a part sealed with a sealing resin. The connector is disposed at a position facing another part of the control board, being isolated from the sealing resin by the control board and the housing case.

The present invention provides a multifunctional switch device for a vehicle, which can reduce noise generation due to a collision between components when performing a return function after the activation of a turn signal. The multifunctional switch device for a vehicle, according to the present invention includes: a housing coupled to one side of the steering column; a lever switch protrudingly mounted on one side of the housing so as to be rotatably manipulated within a predetermined section range; a moving block disposed within the housing so as to be rotatably moved together with the lever switch, a retaining block being provided at one side of the moving block; a guide bush mounted at one side of the steering column so as to rotate together with the steering wheel; and a cancel cam configured to be operated by the guide bush depending on a manipulated state of the steering wheel to return the moving block that has been rotatably moved to its original position. The cancel cam includes a cam body rotatably coupled to the housing so as to be brought into close contact with the retaining block, and a shock-absorbing rib elastically deformably disposed at the cam body such that when the cam body is rotated, the shock-absorbing rib can be brought into close contact with the retaining block earlier than the cam body to absorb the shock caused by a collision between the retaining block and the cam body.
