Patent number: 10871226Abstract: A manual park release device includes a base portion. A handle portion is rotatably coupled to the base portion to move from a retracted position to an extended position. The handle portion during rotation toward the extended position exerts a pulling force to displace a tension cable connected to an automatic transmission of an automobile vehicle to change from a first park gear to a second neutral gear. A first locking feature releasably restricts rotational movement of the handle portion away from the retracted position. A second locking feature releasably restricts rotational movement of the handle portion away from the extended position.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Inventors: David Legault, Jian Ming Yan, Chadd Beals

Patent number: 10865879Abstract: In at least some implementations, a park lock release actuator includes a housing, a drive member and a retainer. The drive member is received at least partially within the housing for rotation about an axis relative to the housing between a first position and a second position. The retainer has a first position in which rotation of the drive member is prevented and a second position in which rotation of the drive member is permitted. At least one of the retainer and the drive member moves relative to the housing in a direction different from the rotation of the drive member so that the path of motion of the retainer between the first position and second position of the retainer is different from the path of motion of the drive member between the first position and second position of the drive member.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Inventors: David Legault, John Sayeau

Patent number: 10496598Abstract: A system and method to control access to data are disclosed. A command to mount a specified file system as a trusted file system is received. Whether the specified file system is marked as a trustable file system is determined, where marking as a trustable file system based on verifying integrity protection for the specified file system. The specified file system is mounted as a trusted file system based on determining that the specified file system is marked as a trustable file system. A command to access data on the specified file system is received. A determination is made as to whether the specified file system was mounted with a specification to be a trusted file system. Access to the data is permitted or denied based on determining that the mounting specified mounting as a trusted file system.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2015Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Glenn Daniel Wurster, David Legault

Patent number: 8020919Abstract: A door module assembly for a motor vehicle door has a plate-like carrier holding a plurality of door hardware components in a pre-configured orientation, including one or more window regulator rails. The carrier seals the motor vehicle door and includes a flap that provides at least partial access to the window regulator rails. A first trim panel is pre-fixed to the carrier. A second trim panel articulates with respect to the first trim panel between an initial position generally parallel to the first trim panel and an installed position generally in-line with the first trim panel. With the carrier storing substantially all of the hardware required for the door and the trim panels covering substantially the entire surface area of the door, handling and assembly operations are minimized.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2005Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Intier Automotive Closures Inc.Inventors: Jih Cheng Lin, Dennis John Buening, Radoslav Bokun, Manfred Fritsch, David James Krysiak, Daniel E.

Publication number: 20040128917Abstract: A method for assembling a motor vehicle door includes the steps of affixing a plurality of hardware components to a secondary trim component to form a door module assembly. The door module assembly is attached to the structural door body. A trim panel is secured to the structural door body overlaying the door module assembly. The secondary trim component has a map pocket wall and the trim panel has a map pocket opening. When the trim panel overlays the secondary trim component, the trim panel cooperates with the secondary trim component to define a map pocket.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2003Publication date: July 8, 2004Inventors: Jin Cheng Lin, Dennis John Buening, Radoslav Bokun, Manfred Fritsch, David J.
