  • Publication number: 20230264641
    Abstract: A vehicle power architecture is disclosed that includes a plurality of functional blocks for implementing functions and a power supply input for receiving a power supply. The vehicle power architecture also includes an electronic control unit (ECU) comprising a plurality of power control switches, each being switchable between an open state where at least one of the functional blocks is disconnected from the power supply input and a closed state where the at least one functional block is connected to the power supply input. The vehicle power architecture further includes a trigger having a wake-up input for configuring the plurality of power control switches between the open state and the closed state.

  • Publication number: 20230264640
    Abstract: Vehicle power architecture including a plurality of functional blocks for implementing functions, a power supply input for receiving a direct current power supply, and an electric control unit, ECU. The ECU includes a control block for controlling the plurality of functional blocks to perform functions, and a plurality of power control switches, each being switchable under the control of the control block between a closed state where at least one respective functional block is connected to the power supply input and an open state where the at least one respective functional block is disconnected from the power supply input. The power control switches may be part of a power control module.

  • Publication number: 20230268703
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of electrical connection of cables and the like, for all industries and in particular in the aeronautic or automotive industry. A single pass-through connector for connecting first cables and second cables disposed in respective first area and second area of a vehicle, the single pass-through connector having a frame body and a plurality of first communication network connectors for receiving portions of the first cables and of the second cables, each first communication network connector has a back portion and a front portion, and wherein each first communication network connector is arranged for receiving the corresponding first cable from the back portion, and for receiving the corresponding second cable from the front portion, so as to connect the corresponding first cable and the corresponding second cable together and pass-through a separation between the two areas.

  • Patent number: 8064047
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for contactless determination of lateral offset relative to a straight-ahead direction when an object moves relative to an object with a stochastic surface structure, in which the surface structure is imaged on at least two similar photosensors arranged behind one another at a defined separation in the straight-ahead direction and having a spatially resolving longitudinal extent transverse to the straight-ahead direction, a spatial frequency signal corresponding to the surface structure is generated by the sensors, the spatial frequency signal of a second sensor in the movement direction is read, temporally shifted relative to the spatial frequency signal of the first sensor, such that the same, at least partially overlapping surface structure is imaged on both sensors, the spatial frequency signals of the first and second sensors are correlated to determine a correlation coefficient, and the lateral offset of the correlated spatial frequency signals on the sensors is determined.
