Abstract: A touch sensor assembly. The touch sensor assembly may include a housing, at least one touch sensor and a sensor cover. The sensor cover may identify a touch area associated with each touch sensor. The housing may form a water tight cavity for the sensor cover and the touch sensor when coupled to an housing cover. A raised dome may be provided, e.g. on the sensor cover or another element, to provided tactile feed back. LEDs may be provided for illuminating the touch areas and/or sensing ambient light. A controller may control the illumination level of the LEDs in response to sensed ambient light. Adjacent key suppression algorithms are also provided.

Abstract: A seat belt tension sensor for sensing tension in a seat belt. The sensor includes a main plate and a travel member moveable relative to the main plate against a spring force. A sensor provides an output in response to the relative movement indicative of the tension applied to the seat belt. The spring force may be provided by one or more leaf springs.

Abstract: A seat position sensor for a vehicle including: a sensing portion configured to sense a position of a vehicle seat with respect to a part of the vehicle; and a mounting portion coupled to the sensing portion, wherein the mounting portion includes an integral locking pin configured to secure the seat position sensor to a portion of the vehicle. A seat position sensor including a housing having an internal surface defining an opening and a seal disposed in the opening to create a cavity for housing electrical circuitry is also provided. A seat position sensor circuit is also provided to enable testing of a varistor without adversely affecting other portions of the circuit.
