COVERED ELECTRIC WIRE AND WIRE HARNESS
A covered electric wire contains a conductor and an insulation covering which covers an outer surface of the conductor. The covered electric wire has a flat portion where a cross section of the conductor intersecting an axial direction of the covered electric wire has a flat shape which has a larger length in a width direction. The insulation covering contains, in the cross section of the flat portion, plane regions which contains, at the surface thereof: a width-directional region along the width direction; and a height-directional region intersecting the width direction. The insulation covering contains a region having a rounded shape having a radius at the junction between the width-directional region and the height-directional region, and the covered electric wire satisfies a relationship of R>t between the radius R and a thickness t of the insulation covering at the plane region. The wire harness contains the covered electric wire.
Method for Backshell components in 3D Routing Harness and Flattening Route Harness
A three dimensional (3D) backshell component is flattened to a two dimensional (2D) representation while maintaining a connected wiring component in 3D. Sketch segments for a curved 3D backshell connected first route segment within the backshell housing are stored. A first tangent is computed for a first entry point at a first end point of the connected first route segment, and a flattened route is calculated for route segments unconnected to the backshell. A flattened route position and a second tangent are calculated for a second route segment connected with the first route segment at a second entry point corresponding to the first entry point. The first entry point and the second entry point are aligned, and the first tangent and the second tangent are aligned, and the flattened unconnected route segment aligned with the 3D backshell component is displayed.
WIRING MEMBER
A wiring member includes a sheet, a first wire-like transmission member fixed to the sheet, and a second wire-like transmission member having lower rigidity than the first wire-like transmission member and fixed to the sheet. An intersection part of the first wire-like transmission member and the second wire-like transmission member is provided on the sheet, and the first wire-like transmission member is located closer to a side of the sheet than the second wire-like transmission member in the intersection part.
VEHICLE WIRING SYSTEM, OPTICAL COUPLER, AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING VEHICLE WIRING SYSTEM
A vehicle wiring system includes a plurality of functional units to be mounted in a vehicle, an optical transmission line that is wired between the functional units and configured to transmit an optical signal of the functional units, an electric wire harness that is provided, in a partial section of the optical transmission line, together with the optical transmission line in a state of being integrated with the optical transmission line, and an optical coupler that is disposed in a portion of the optical transmission line other than the section and constitutes a part of the optical transmission line.
Motor vehicle electrical system and vehicle with a motor vehicle electrical system
Motor vehicle on-board network having at least two main line strands arranged electrically parallel to one another, the main line strands being electrically short-circuited to one another in two regions which are separated from one another and having a connection for one of at least two on-board network power supplies in each case, at least one motor vehicle on-board network being arranged in the at least two main line strands interrupting the respective main line strand, the motor vehicle electrical system switching network having at least three switches, a first switch being arranged between a first main line connection and a common node, a second switch being arranged between a second main line connection and the common node, and a third switch being arranged between the common node and at least one load connection.
Turbo-boost control system
A system and methods for a turbo-boost control system are disclosed for providing a driver of a vehicle with greater control over vehicle performance. The turbo-boost control system instructs an electronic control unit of the vehicle to increase the manifold pressure to a higher level before releasing the pressure through a waste gate so as to provide a greater power output of the engine. The turbo-boost control system includes a control module, a wiring harness, and a signal adjuster. The wiring harness couples the control module with a turbo inlet pressure sensor, a manifold absolute pressure sensor, and an electronic control unit of the vehicle. The control module sends signals to the electronic control unit based on input readings from the turbo inlet pressure sensor and the manifold absolute pressure sensor. The signal adjuster includes a rheostat that enables manual adjustment of the power output of the engine.
Disc brake assembly having a sensor assembly attached to a retraction spring
A disc brake assembly that includes at least one brake pad retraction spring and a sensor assembly. The brake pad retraction spring extends between a pair of brake pad assemblies. The sensor assembly includes at least one sensor and a wire harness. The sensor is disposed on a brake pad assembly. The wire harness is attached to the brake pad retraction spring.
HIGH POWER SHIELDED BUSBAR FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING AND POWER DISTRIBUTION
A unitary busbar provides power from one connection point in an electric vehicle to another connection point. The unitary busbar includes a central solid core conductor, an insulation layer over the solid core conductor, and an electromagnetic shield fitted around the insulator. The unitary busbar is capable of being bent into specific configurations that allow it to conform to the body of an electric vehicle.
VEHICLE SUNROOF COMPRISING ENERGIZED SUNROOF GLASS, AND VEHICLE
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle sunroof comprising an energized sunroof glass and to a vehicle. The energized sunroof glass comprises a rear glass and a front glass being slidable relative to the rear glass, wherein one of the rear glass and the front glass is electrically connected to a main wire harness of the sunroof, and wherein the vehicle sunroof further comprises an intermediate electrical connection structure configured to electrically connect the front glass to the rear glass when the front glass slides relative to the rear glass to a predetermined position. The vehicle sunroof saves the number of wire harnesses, has a simple structure and high integration, and is easy to control.
Underbody Arrangement
