Abstract: A pre-crash seat actuator system for moving a vehicle seat includes an occupant protection control system that determines a collision is imminent and provides a trigger signal and an enable signal. A vehicle seat controller receives the trigger signal and determines a moving the vehicle seat to a desired position to mitigate severity of a collision. In response to the trigger signal, the vehicle seat controller provides a fast mode voltage for moving the vehicle seat in a fast mode. A smart control adapter determines whether the fast mode voltage and the enable signal are both received, to provide the fast mode voltage to a vehicle seat electric drive. In another embodiment, the vehicle seat controller receives the trigger signal and a collision signal to provide fast mode voltage, and the seat is returned to an original position when a crash does not occur.

Abstract: A housing assembly for an electronic circuit including an electronic control unit (ECU) is a low-profile, generally rectangular device that includes a container, a cover that closes an open end of the container, and a printed circuit board disposed in the housing. The container includes an input electrical connector and an output electrical connector formed at opposed ends of the housing. The output electrical connectors includes electrically conductive pins having an irregular shape and that are partially embedded in the container in such a way that each pin has zero degrees of freedom of movement relative to the container.

Abstract: A modular smart motor assembly comprising a controller and electric motor. The modular smart motor assembly is part of a smart motor system within a vehicle, and operable to adjust configurable elements of the interior of the vehicle. The controller may be detachably coupled to the electric motor, and may be utilized to retrofit existing electric motor systems.
