Abstract: A stator of an electric machine has first and second hairpin winding terminals connected with a first electrical phase and extending axially away from end windings of the stator. A hairpin winding of a second electrical phase is located circumferentially between the first-phase terminals and spaces them from one another. A jumper has spaced-apart C-hooks oriented face-to-face relative to one another and wrapping around respective exposed ends of the first-phase hairpin winding terminals. The jumper forms a bridge spanning between the first-phase hairpin winding terminals and over the second-phase hairpin winding terminal. During manufacturing of the stator, the C-hooks are slid axially downward onto respective non-insulated ends of the first-phase stator hairpin winding terminals. The C-hooks abut against and are axially positioned relative to the first-phase terminals by ledges defined by insulative coatings that cover portions of the first-phase hairpin winding terminals.

Abstract: A system comprises a computer including a processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions such that the processor is programmed to determine two or more clusters of vehicle operating parameter values from each of a plurality of vehicles at a location within a time. Determining the two or more clusters includes clustering data from the plurality of vehicles based on proximity to two or more respective means. The processor is further programmed to determine a reportable condition when a mean for a cluster representing a greatest number of vehicles varies from a baseline by more than a threshold.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for input signal management for vehicle park-assist. An example vehicle includes an autonomy unit for remote parking, a communication module, a sensor, and a controller. The controller is to designate a mobile device responsive to determining the remote parking is inactive and receiving an activation request from the mobile device. When the mobile device is designated, the controller also is to process remote parking signals of the mobile device, stop the remote parking when the sensor detects engagement of a door handle, and prevent processing of other nonemergency requests.

Abstract: A method comprises determining a first location of a vehicle being driven by a road user and retrieving, from a first database, a first set of parking information. Each entry in the first set of parking information is associated with a physical location that is within a first distance of the first location. For each entry in the first set of parking information, the method comprises displaying, on a graphical user interface, a symbol at a virtual location corresponding to the physical location associated with the entry. The method comprises determining a second location of the vehicle and, if the second location is above a first threshold distance away from the first location and retrieving, from the first database, a second set of parking information. Each entry in the second set of parking information being associated with a physical location that is within a second distance of the second location.

Abstract: A smartwatch having at least one controller in communication with an user interface and a transceiver. The transceiver configured to communicate with a nomadic device. The at least one controller configured to, in response to a wireless signal having a unique user identifier received at the nomadic device, receive a control function from an application corresponding to the unique user identifier. The at least one controller may be further configured to configure the user interface based on the control function.

Abstract: A system for a vehicle includes a trio of ultrasonic sensors, and a controller configured to, responsive to a location of an object identified from a distance between the ultrasonic sensors, a receive time at each of the ultrasonic sensors associated with a same ultrasonic pulse from a transmitter of the object, and an absence of data regarding a send time of the ultrasonic pulse, steer the vehicle to the object.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for calibrating engine port injectors. After pressurizing a low pressure fuel rail, a lift pump may be disabled and port injector variability may be correlated with a measured fuel rail pressure drop at each port injection event by sweeping injection pressure while maintaining injection voltage, and then sweeping injection voltage while maintaining injection pressure. A port injector variability map learned as a function of injection voltage and injection pressure is then transformed into a map learned as a function of injection current and injection pressure by accounting for injector variability caused due to changes in injector temperature.
