Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative devices, systems, vehicles, and methods. In an illustrative embodiment, a device includes a processor and a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions. The computer-executable instructions are configured to cause the processor to receive device cooling information, determine a cooling electronic device condition in response to the received device cooling information, and instruct application of a cooling function in response to the determined cooling electronic device condition.

Some embodiments provide a vehicle climate control system for controlling climate conditions in various cabin regions of a vehicle cabin, where the climate control system is configured to control one or more vehicle components to change the set of climate conditions associated with one or more cabin regions to approximate a set of optimal comfort conditions. The climate control system controls various vehicle components to control climate conditions, including window assemblies, sunroof assemblies, etc. The climate control system determines optimal comfort conditions which optimize perceived temperature of various occupant body parts and maintain various climate characteristics within one or more sets of thresholds. Output configurations of various vehicle components can be determined based at least in part upon determined optimal comfort conditions of various cabin regions. Output configurations can be generated based at least in part upon various control mode priorities.

A climate control system in a vehicle comprises a first vent unit adjacent to a driver seat; a second vent unit adjacent to a passenger seat; a climate control device configured to provide conditioned air to an occupant compartment; and a user input device to enable selection of a first climate control mode or a second climate control mode by a user. The conditioned air passes through the first vent unit at the first climate control mode and the conditioned air passes through the first and second vent units at the second climate control mode.

An air vent for a motor vehicle includes a housing with an air channel for feeding air and a partial hemisphere shell. The partial hemisphere shell is mounted in a rotatable manner within the housing such that air fed through the air channel is deflected on the housing before it exits from the air vent.

An apparatus for controlling a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a vehicle includes a touch screen displaying an interface of the HVAC system for a vehicle, and a controller recognizing a touch of a user and controlling the interface of the HVAC system, displayed on the touch screen, based on the recognized touch.

A ventilation device for an automobile passenger compartment is provided. The ventilation device includes a control mechanism, including a drive shaft and a first and a second driven shaft for controlling a first ventilation flap. The first and second driven shafts are connected to the drive shaft by way of a coupling element, wherein the coupling element is designed as a differential.

A moveable graphical user interface object is provided. The moveable graphical user interface object is moveable within a bounded graphical region. A current location of the moveable graphical user interface object in the bounded graphical region corresponds to an indicated direction of concentrated airflow. For example, the moveable graphical user interface object is used to control airflow direction of a HVAC air vent.

Systems and methods for diesel particulate filter regeneration for a transport climate control system are provided. The diesel particulate filter regeneration system for the transport climate control system includes a prime mover having an ON state and an OFF state, a diesel particulate filter (DPF) disposed downstream from the prime mover, an airflow control device upstream from the DPF, an air source configured to provide air to the DPF via the airflow control device, and a controller. The air source is configured to supply air to air components of a vehicle. When the prime mover is in the OFF state, the controller is configured to control the airflow control device to supply air from the air source to the DPF for diesel particulate filter regeneration.

A vehicle air-conditioning control system includes a controller that controls a blow outlet drive device and a plate member drive device based on a sensed result of a seat back state sensing device. When a reclined state of the seat back is sensed, the controller controls the blow outlet drive device and thereby places an air-flow direction change mechanism in a predetermined position to direct conditioning air, which is blown from the blow outlet, such that the conditioning air collides to a plate surface of a plate member. At this time, the controller also controls the plate member drive device to place the plate member in a predetermined position, so that the conditioning air, which collides to the plate surface of the plate member, reaches a specific part of an occupant who is on the seat having the seat back placed in the reclined state.

A fluid delivery module includes a housing defining a fluid flow path between an inlet and an outlet. The housing includes a top surface portion and a bottom surface portion that are movable to vary a flow direction of a fluid flow along the fluid flow path. The fluid delivery module includes an outlet treatment movable to vary a flow rate of the fluid flow exiting the outlet and a control unit configured to send commands to move at least one of the top surface portion, the bottom surface portion, or the outlet treatment according to a fluid delivery profile that dictates a flow pattern of the fluid flow.
