Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for a system to automatically execute actions associated with one or more moveable closures of a vehicle. The system may detect a user device is within proximity of the vehicle using ultra-wideband signals. The system may then determine a location of the user device, and based on the location of the user device, whether the user device is within a trigger zone. A trigger zone may represent a real-world area positioned about the vehicle. Based on determining that the user device is within a trigger zone, the system may execute an action associated with the one or more moveable closures.

Abstract: This patent document describes techniques are related to an apparatus for an electronics box for an in-flight entertainment system. The electronics box comprises: a sealed enclosure including electronic components for the in-flight entertainment system disposed in a commercial passenger vehicle; and a cooling structure disposed on a surface of the sealed enclosure and includes: a fan introducing air from outside into the cooling structure, the air creating an air passage that is external to the sealed enclosure and extending along the surface of the sealed enclosure; one or more heat dissipation elements disposed in the air passage and configured to dissipate heat generated by the electronic components; and a duct cover covering the fan and the one or more heat dissipation elements and having an air inlet through which the air enters into the cooling structure.

Abstract: A shift actuator for a transmission includes a drive assembly coupled with a selector interface. A transmission selector operates between a plurality of transmission settings. A threaded actuator is rotationally operated by the drive assembly. A carriage linearly operates along the threaded actuator to define a plurality of actuator positions that correspond to the transmission settings. An actuator arm extends between the carriage and the transmission selector to translate linear operation of the carriage to rotational operation of the transmission selector.

Abstract: One or more Wireless Access Points (WAPs) are provided for a transportation vehicle. One WAP includes a combined board having a first area with micro-processor components and a second area with antenna elements, the second area located at a periphery of the combined board; a metallic cover placed over the first area; and a non-metallic cover placed over the metallic cover and the second area.

Abstract: In-vehicle entertainment (WE) monitor systems can be reconfigurable and modular to improve heat dissipation characteristics and to enable separate removal or installation of one or more parts within the WE monitor system without affecting the rest of the IVE monitor system. A modular system for providing in-vehicle entertainment to passengers on a commercial passenger vehicle includes a main housing, a peripheral housing, and a display panel that are separately removable or installable. A main printed circuit board (PCB) in the main housing is electrically connected to a secondary PCB in the peripheral housing via the first data cable and the secondary PCB is electrically connected to the display panel via the second data cable in a series configuration.

Abstract: A unibody optical grade plastic monitor for a seatback device for a vehicle entertainment system for a commercial passenger vehicle. The monitor has a light weight layer cross-sectional structure that includes a front optical grade plastic cover and a rear plastic cover, a touch panel, a display panel, and one or more layers of anti-reflection plastic films (e.g., Mosmite(s)) between the touch panel and the display panel.

Abstract: An air filtration system is described that is suited for CBRN and ColPro applications, and has an integrated inertial particle separator (IPS) and scavenge fan blower as a pre-dust/particle filter, a variable speed fan blower, and a filter housing that mounts two gas-particulate filter sets. The variable speed fan blower, managed by a motor control unit and motor speed algorithm, automatically adjusts its speed to maintain constant air flow regardless of its altitude.
