Abstract: A joining element for coupling two parts of a housing includes a first pair of resilient engagement elements for receiving a first part of the housing and a second pair of resilient engagement elements for receiving a second part of the housing to be coupled to the first part. The first pair of resilient engagement elements is configured to receive and engage with the first part of the housing by a first engagement force. The second pair of resilient engagement elements is configured to receive and engage with the second part of the housing by a second engagement force. Securing the second part by the second pair of resilient engagement elements causes an increase in the first engagement force on the first part.

Abstract: A cooling rack includes at least one electronic unit, a mounting mechanism, and a cooling plate. The at least one electronic unit includes a plurality of electronic components. The mounting mechanism is configured to removably receive the at least one electronic unit. The cooling plate is configured to be in thermal contact with the at least one electronic unit to dissipate heat generated from the plurality of electronic components.

Abstract: An antenna system includes a board with an antenna configured to radiate power and a housing. The housing surrounds the board and is configured to protect the board from an environment. The housing includes an opening with at least one metallic wall extending towards the board. The at least one metallic wall is configured to redirect the power radiated by the antenna into a predetermined system radiation direction and in a predetermined radiation pattern.

Abstract: A shield for a vent or cooling-fan opening in a housing for electronic components. The shield includes an outwardly projectable wall for substantially covering the vent or cooling-fan opening and, at edges of the wall, interfacing with the housing. The shield includes an opening for communicating with a vent or cooling-fan unit to divert airflow to or from the vent or fan-cooled opening while ingress of fluid is mitigated by the outwardly projectable wall.

Abstract: A removable adapter for a housing of an upgradable electronic control unit. The adapter includes a body. The body includes a top surface and a base surface. The base surface is configured to contact the housing. The top surface includes one or more pedestals configured for contacting one or more electronic components of a printed circuit board.

Abstract: A header-tank assembly (100a) includes a tank (10a), a gasket (20a) and a header (30a). The tank (10a) includes a plurality of first engagement elements (12a) configured thereon. The gasket (20a) includes a plurality of second engagement elements (22a) configured thereon. The second engagement elements (22a) are complimentary to and engages with the first engagement elements (12a) to mount the gasket (20a) along a periphery of a foot portion (14a) of the tank. The header (30a) is crimped to the foot portion (14a) of the tank (10a) with the gasket (20a) disposed between the header (30a) and the foot portion (14a) of the tank (10a).

Abstract: A protection device 1 for a heat exchanger, comprising a grid 10 with an upstream surface 11 and a downstream surface 12, both located on opposite sides of the grid 10, the grid 10 being attachable to the heat exchanger 40 with attachment means 11 so that the downstream surface 12 can face a side of the heat exchanger 40, wherein the protection device 1 further comprises a shock absorber 20 attached to the grid 10 so that the shock absorber 20 least partly protrudes from the downstream surface 12 of the grid 10.

Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly (100) includes a first heat exchanger (10) that includes at least one first manifold (14), a second heat exchanger (20) that includes at least one second manifold (24) and at least one connector (30) formed on at least one of the first manifold (14) and the second manifold (24). The at least one connector (30) facilitates connection between the second heat exchanger (20) and the first heat exchanger (10). The at least one connector (30) includes a fluid flow passage (32) that forms fluid communication between heat exchange fluid flow lines (40) and the at least one second manifold (24). The fluid flow passage (32) is fluidically isolated from the at least one first manifold (14).

Abstract: The header-tank assembly includes a tank, a header a sealing element. The tank includes foot portions configured on at least one pair of opposite sides thereof. The header includes tabs configured on at least one pair of opposite sides. The tabs are crimped along fold lines configured thereon to receive the respective foot portions of the tank and configure connection between the header and the tank. The sealing element is disposed between the foot portions of the tank and the header. A notch is configured on an outside wall of each tab, wherein the notch extends along the fold line to facilitate crimping of the tabs over the respective foot portions and is visible after crimping operation.

Abstract: A protection system for a heat exchanger is disclosed in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The protection system includes at least one net with a first pair of opposite sides and a second pair of opposite sides. The at least one net is deployed over at least one heat exchanger core to cover at least a portion of the at least one heat exchanger core, wherein the at least one net is mounted to either one of a pair of side plates of the at least one heat exchanger core and a pair of headers of the heat exchanger by means of a plurality of engagement elements to deploy the at least one net over the at least one heat exchanger core.

Abstract: A protective grid system for ducts of a cooling module of a vehicle is disclosed. The system includes housing and at least one protective grid. The housing includes at least one inlet connected to the ducts for receiving air that had extracted heat from a region to be cooled and at least one outlet for egress of the air there through. The at least one protective grid is mounted over at least one of the at least one inlet and the at least one outlet to prevent articles of a predetermined size from entering inside the ducts of the cooling module while still permitting egress of air there through.
