A replacement vent clip for attachment to a louver of an air vent assembly when the air vent assembly is installed in a motor vehicle includes two posts extending rearward from a lower wall of the vent clip and a lower and upper wall spaced apart from one another to create an open back end spanning an entire width of the vent clip. The open back end includes a channel sized smaller in height than a height of an opposing horizontal louver of an air vent assembly and includes a lip arranged to move to a second greater height when engaging the horizontal louver. The two longitudinally extending, spaced apart posts align the vent clip with a vertical post of an air vent assembly. Once the louver is contained within the vent clip, the channel moves back to its original height and captures the louver within the clip.

A method of detecting airflow blockage of a transport refrigeration system including the steps of: activating a heater powered by an electric generation device; measuring an output voltage of the electric generation device; determining a predicted heat output of the heater in response to the output voltage; determining a predicted temperature rise across the heater in response to the predicted heat output; detecting a measured temperature rise across the heater; and determining an airflow reduction percentage in response to the predicted temperature rise across the heater and the measured temperature rise across the heater.

MOVING BODY CONTROL APPARATUS
20200231018 · 2020-07-23 ·

There is provided with a moving body control apparatus. An image capturing unit captures a periphery of a moving body through a transmitting portion. A heater is capable of heating the transmitting portion. An air-conditioning unit switches an air-conditioning state in the moving body between an inside air circulation state and an outside air introduction state. A control unit controls the heater. An ambient temperature detection unit detects an ambient temperature. The control unit starts the operation of the heater when the ambient temperature is not more than a predetermined temperature threshold. The predetermined temperature threshold of the case in which the air-conditioning state is set to the inside air circulation state is higher than the predetermined temperature threshold in the case in which the air-conditioning state is set to the outside air introduction state.

Portable Air Conditioning Device
20200173669 · 2020-06-04 ·

A portable air conditioning device. The portable air conditioning device has a housing which defines a hollow interior cavity and a primary compartment. The primary compartment can store ice or other cold materials. A pump is in fluid communication with the primary compartment and pulls water that forms from the melting ice out of the primary compartment into a hollow tubing. A fan blows air across a portion of the hollow tubing and a vent enables the air to pass to a space exterior to the housing. A power source is operably connected to the fan and the pump. The portable air conditioning device can provide cool air to a user by blowing air across the tubing and through a vent, thereby providing a cooling breeze to a user, while keeping food, beverages, and similar items stored within the primary compartment at a cold temperature.
