  • Patent number: 11879485
    Abstract: A snap-fit assembly that allows securely attaching and locking components to each other or to wall-like objects. The snap-fit assembly includes an electronic device with a plastic housing designed to have at the same surface a set of oppositely disposed hooks and a tab for defining an area which is shaped and dimensioned to receive a sliding mechanical bracket. The hooks guide the mechanical bracket into place and securely attach the mechanical bracket to the plastic housing, while the tab forms a stop device for the mechanical bracket, while at the same time locking into a locking opening formed at the mechanical tab.

  • Patent number: 10763556
    Abstract: A vehicle battery assembly utilizing side cooling plates. This battery assembly avoids a stacked vertical battery and cooling plate or pack arrangement, optimizes tunnel (and other) space utilization, minimizes battery assembly intrusion into the passenger compartment of the associated vehicle, and allows seat position height to be as low as possible within the passenger compartment of the associated vehicle, while still allowing vertical access to the access points and electrical contacts of the battery modules within the battery assembly. Further, such battery assembly is compatible with conventional and novel cooling pipe configurations and cooling systems.

  • Patent number: 8434582
    Abstract: A drive system and an interconnection unit are provided for an all wheel drive vehicle. The drive system includes, but is not limited to a power take-off unit, a propshaft and a rear drive module. The power take-off unit being adapted to be attached to a vehicle's powertrain, and the propshaft being adapted to transmit drive to the rear drive module. The propshaft and the power take-off unit are connected by a joint for transmitting drive force from the power take-off unit to the propshaft, and the joint between the power take-off unit and the propshaft includes, but is not limited to a female-male engagement. The female and male engagement portions are non-rotatable in relation to each other when the joint is engaged.
