Abstract: Generally provided is a roof-liner assembly for attaching a wire harness to a roof liner, the assembly having a wire harness that is attached to a roof liner by a harness clip and a harness-clip base, wherein the harness clip has a substantially closed-loop element that substantially surrounds the exterior surface of a wire-harness longitudinal section, and wherein the harness-clip base is secured to the roof liner.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to processes and/or devices that are capable of stopping a vehicle in response to a remote signal. Some embodiments are capable of preserving electrical power to one or more safety-related devices or systems after the engine is shut down. Some devices embodying the present invention can include a receiver, an engine-shutdown means, and a power maintaining means.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to processes for predicting airflow rates. According to some embodiments, some process steps can include developing a three-dimensional computer-aided design model of a test body topology; discretizing the test body topology; discretizing a volume surrounding the test body topology, the volume being bounded by a test chamber; identifying test body components upon which to collect empirical data; obtaining empirical data for identified components; establishing an airflow model; validating the airflow model in comparison to experimental data; obtaining a flow rate from the validated airflow model; and determining whether the mass flow rate is acceptable.
