Patent number: 7427152Abstract: A headlamp assembly for a motor vehicle having a light source, a chamber that receives the light source and a cooling channel for removing heat from the chamber. A conductive wall and an insulating wall cooperate to define the chamber and the channel. The conductive wall has a substantially higher thermal conductivity than the insulating wall to promote the heat exchange between the chamber and the cooling channel and to reduce heat exchange between the cooling channel and the relatively hot engine compartment.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2005Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Allen Erion, Andrew Zachary Glovatsky, Myron Lemecha, Prathap Amervai Reddy

Patent number: 7329033Abstract: A headlamp assembly for a motor vehicle including a lens and a housing that cooperate to define an inner chamber that is generally isolated from the atmosphere. A heat sink includes a fin portion that extends from the inner chamber so as to be exposed to ambient air. A light source is located within the inner chamber and is supported on a base portion of the heat sink. The heat sink conducts heat from the light source to air located exterior of the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2005Date of Patent: February 12, 2008Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Zachary Glovatsky, Myron Lemecha, Prathap Amervai Reddy

Patent number: 6916994Abstract: Flatwire assembly having a number of conductive elements or traces position on the substrate of the flatwire. In order to protect the conductive element from environmental hazards such as moisture and chemicals, a sealing film is provided that encapsulates the conductive elements. The sealing film has a polymer layer and an adhesive layer. The polymer layer prevents vertical diffusion of moisture into the conductive elements and the adhesive layer prevents later diffusion of moisture. The sealing film is larger than the conductive elements such that it completely encapsulates the conductive elements.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2003Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Andrew Zachary Glovatsky

Patent number: 6415757Abstract: Positioning of sensitive electronics near the engine block is accomplished through the use of a heat shield providing for removal or diversion of transmitted heat from the block to the electronics through the use of a self-contained or externally circulated coolant fluid. Unlike conventional coolant channels in an engine block, the heat shield is not intended to cool the engine block and thus may be more compact insofar as it deals with lesser heat flux.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2000Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Andrew Zachary Glovatsky

Patent number: 6408811Abstract: Conductors supported integrally with engine structure such as air intake manifolds and the like provide interconnection between engine components without the need for separate conventional wiring harnesses. The conductors take their mechanical strength from the underlying physical object and thus can be lighter than a freestanding harness. Connectors allow traces to continue across points of mechanical interface between structural components and allow wiring of engine components to be accomplished in the same operation as their physical assembly.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2000Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Zachary Glovatsky, Jay DeAvis Baker, Myron Lemecha
