Patent number: 12077995Abstract: A remote cinching actuator, which includes an integral motor wherein its rotation will drive the two stage drive gears system, that are coupled to a cable lever. This cable lever is mechanically attached to a cinch lever within the side door latch by the cable. The lever will rotate on its pivot and move the cinch drive link. A bearing attached to the cinch drive link will move during the cinching operation, traveling through a canal of a cinch override lever, to maintain the traveling course of the cinch drive link and, thereby, allowing the interaction between the cinch drive link and a claw to rotate the claw to its closed/primary position.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2021Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: INTEVA PRODUCTS, LLCInventors: Daniel Alexander Ney, Hector Sanchez, Eduardo Estrada, Carlos Issac Tostado Bocanegra, Miguel Angel Baray, Jesus Osvaldo Alvarez Morales, Pedro Alfredo Alvarado Heredia, Donald Michael Perkins

Patent number: 11424615Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes an input/output (IO) circuit in a first power domain, coupled between a first and second power supply terminal, and an integrity monitor in a second power domain, coupled between a third and fourth power supply terminal. The IO circuit includes an external terminal configured to communicate signals external to the IC, and an internal circuit node configured to provide a tap signal, wherein the internal circuit node is neither the first power supply terminal nor the second power supply terminal. The integrity monitor has a counter configured to provide a count value by counting each time the tap signal reaches a threshold voltage, and is configured to provide an integrity fault indicator based at least in part on the count value, in which the integrity fault indicator indicates whether or not a signal provided or received by the external terminal is trustworthy.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: NXP USA, Inc.Inventors: Kuo-Hsuan Meng, Gayathri Bhagavatheeswaran, Hector Sanchez
