Abstract: A track assembly includes a track, a support member, a support member conductor, a first conductor and a plurality of second conductors. The support member conductor may be configured to move substantially laterally and electrically contact the second conductors. The second conductor may be configured to move laterally and electrically contact the first conductor. The support member conductor may be configured to move the second conductor into electrical contact with the first conductor. The first conductor may extend substantially in the longitudinal direction and/or the first conductor may be disposed at least partially in the track. The plurality of second conductors may be disposed such that the support member conductor may be in contact with at least two second conductors of the plurality of second conductors in all positions of the support member relative to the track.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, an apparatus for performing a high voltage (HV) short circuit diagnosis and an impedance analysis for a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a controller configured to measure a first voltage associated with a battery and a first current that varies based on a HV power net during the pre-charge operation and to perform the short circuit diagnosis based on the first voltage and the first current. The controller is further configured to determine a difference between the first voltage and a pre-charge voltage across one of a capacitor and the HV power net and to measure a second current based at least on the difference. The controller is further configured to perform the impedance analysis for the vehicle based on the second current.

Abstract: A control knob assembly includes a housing and a knob mounted for rotary motion on the housing about a pivot axis. A cursor is mounted on the knob and spaced from the pivot axis. The cursor moves in a circular path as the knob is rotated. The assembly further includes a plurality of sensors spaced in a linear arrangement along a linear axis. Each of the sensors generates a signal upon detection of the presence of the cursor when the cursor is adjacent the sensor as the cursor moves along its circular path. The signal is representative of an angular position of the knob relative to the housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to removable seating systems of the type wherein all or part of a seat may be removed or otherwise disengaged from a secure connection location, such as but not limited to vehicle seats that me be removed or disengage for folding from a vehicle mounted seat frame assembly. The system may include coupling circuits to facilitate assess states of a switch included on the removable seat.
