Abstract: The present invention discloses a cup holder in which a body includes a base and a cylindrical sidewall having an opening through which a protrusion is pivotably mounted for movement between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position. A continuous elastic member biases the protrusion to the fully extended position.

Abstract: A cartridge-style pump [10] for a vehicle power steering system can be assembled, tested and shipped independently of an associated pump housing [37]. The pump [10] includes an upper plate [12], a cam plate [16] having a bore [20] formed therein for receipt of a rotor [18], and a lower plate [14]. A plurality of alignment pins [22] are pressed into the lower plate [14] with the cam plate [16] and the upper plate [12] placed onto the alignment pins [22] to locate the plates in their proper position. A plurality of retaining clips [32] are placed onto a respective alignment pin [22] to hold the pump [10] together.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for modifying an odometer reading in a vehicle navigation system to compensate for odometer errors. A first distance measurement is obtained from the odometer, and a second distance measurement is obtained from at least one other sensor. The difference between the first and second distance measurements is determined and an adjustment amount is generated in response thereto. A modification factor is then adjusted by the adjustment amount, the modification factor being for modifying the odometer reading. The odometer reading is then modified with the modification factor. A method and apparatus for selecting a pulse rate setting in a vehicle navigation system to correspond to a pulse rate associated with the odometer are also described. A first distance measurement is obtained from the odometer and a second distance measurement is obtained from at least one other sensor. The difference between the first and second distance measurements is then determined.
