A seat module adapted to be attached to a seat having mechanical parts and electric devices for seat operation in a motor vehicle includes at least one operating cable for activating at least one device, and a module plate formed with a mounting feature for attaching to the seat and a retention feature for attaching the at least one operating cable. An end portion of the operating cable is temporarily stowed on the module plate in a pre-assembled state where the operating cable is attached to the module plate, and the end portion of the operating cable is connected to the electric devices and/or mechanical parts of the seat in an assembled state where the module plate with the retained operating cables is securely mounted to the seat.

Techniques for using a detector coupled to a controller area network (CAN) bus of a vehicle system to identify and generate alerts in response to wake-up attacks on the vehicle system. Techniques include an electronic control unit (ECU) sending a wake-up message across the CAN bus that is detected by the detector. The detector includes memory and a processor to identify the timestamp of the wake-up message when the vehicle ignition is off. The detector determines a total operational time for the ECU over an observation time period and generates a notification of a wake-up anomaly when the total operational time over the observation time period exceeds a predetermined threshold.

An automotive gateway includes one or more interfaces and one or more processors. The one or more interfaces are configured to communicate with electronic subsystems of a vehicle. The one or more processors and configured to host one or more guest applications, to associate both (i) the hosted guest applications and (ii) a first subset of the electronic subsystems of the vehicle with a non-secured domain, to associate a second subset of the electronic subsystems of the vehicle with a secured domain, and to control communication traffic between the secured domain and the non-secured domain of the vehicle in accordance with a security policy.

A replaceable fluid container for an engine comprising: a reservoir for holding a fluid; a fluid coupling adapted to provide fluidic communication between the reservoir and a fluid circulation system of an engine; and a data provider arranged such that positioning the container to permit fluidic communication between the reservoir and the fluid circulation system of the engine arranges the data provider for data communication with an engine control device of the engine. There is also provided a method of facilitating control of an engine and an engine control system, apparatus and a vehicle.

A power system for a vehicle or a stationary installation is disclosed comprising a battery pack having a plurality of removable battery modules, each battery module having an internally controllable connection to a common power bus, a system component controlled by a Power Controller Unit (PCU), said PCU having a connection to said common power bus, and a System Control Unit (SCU) being in communication with each of said battery modules and said PCU, said SCU receiving control inputs from the Operator of the power system. In some embodiments, said Operator may be a human operator, an Electronic Operator Unit (EOU), or a combination thereof. A method is disclosed for operating the internally controllable connection of each of the battery modules responsive to the control inputs received by the SCU from the Operator of the power system and the monitored status of the power system.

The disclosure provides a device for operating an electronic system. The device includes a power supply unit that, during operation, provides a supply voltage on a supply potential output. The power supply unit has an enable input via which the supply voltage can be enabled and disabled by an enable signal. In a power-latch phase of the electronic system in which the enable signal is not present, the power supply unit provides the supply voltage upon receiving a trigger signal even when the enable signal is not present. The device includes a microcontroller supplied with the supply voltage on a second supply potential input connection when the enable signal is present or when the microcontroller, in the power-latch phase, generates the trigger signal and transmits it to the trigger signal input. Upon receiving a control command, the power supply unit suppresses deactivation of the supply voltage for supplying the microcontroller.

Disclosed are a method of improving fuel efficiency of a fuel cell electric vehicle, and an apparatus and a system therefor. The method includes collecting navigation information and vehicle speed information, calculating a coasting line when a specified event point is detected based on the navigation information, determining whether deceleration is necessary by comparing a current traveling speed with a coasting line speed corresponding to a current location, and changing a criterion for determining whether to enter a fuel cell stop (FC STOP) state when the deceleration is necessary as a determination result.

The invention discloses a solar smart delivery signage trailer or cart (SS-DST) that may be attached to any autonomous or non-autonomous vehicle. The (SS-DST) function is an advertisement, food storage, food delivery, public wifi hotspot, and may be towed by any vehicle. The (SS-DST) has the option of providing a virtual delivery man video chat to customers via a screen, speakers, and microphone. The (SS-DST) has solar power capabilities used to power its equipment and can charge other electronic vehicles towing the innovative trailer. The (SS-DST) has the option of delivering advertisement via a roof installation signage display. All systems can be edited or monitored via wireless cellphone networks or wifi remote connections. The lockers are temperature regulated and can be monitored via a remote controller (VDM) from anywhere in the world.

A focused driving system ties a driver's cell phone to the systems of the car that allow for its operation. A microcontroller monitors the cell phone for activity by the driver and disables the car if the cell phone is in use. The cell phone is linked to the microcontroller to facilitate the monitoring of the phone.

An anomaly detection device is located between a network and a first ECU in the plurality of ECUs, and includes: a communication circuit; a processor; and a memory including a set of instructions that, when executed, causes the processor to perform operations including: receiving a message from the first ECU and transmitting the message to the network, and receiving a message from the network and transmitting the message to the first ECU, using the communication circuit; holding, in the memory, a received ID list; when an ID of the message received by the communication circuit from the network is not included in the received ID list, adding the ID to the received ID list; and when an ID of the message received by the communication circuit from the first ECU is included in the received ID list, causing the communication circuit not to transmit the message to the network.
