Abstract: A system and method for determining whether a battery is operating in an anomalous condition can include or be configured to measure sensor data, estimate a local property of the battery using on the sensor data, and classify whether the battery is operating in the anomalous condition based on the local property.

Abstract: A bell crank assembly is mounted on an automotive door module of a vehicle that includes a panel. The panel supports a door latch assembly that includes a lock mechanism that is operated by a sill button and rod inside the vehicle that is located on the inner or dry side of the panel and moveable vertically with respect to the panel. The lock mechanism is operated by the sill button and rod via a generally horizontal rod that is located on the exterior or wet side of panel. The bell crank assembly connects the sill button rod to the exterior rod through an extruded hole in the panel. The bell crank assembly includes an inboard lever and an outboard lever. The inboard lever has an input end that is attached to the sill button rod and an output end. The output end has a round boss that fits in the extruded hole of the panel with a running fit to provide an axle for pivoting bell crank assembly with respect to panel.

Abstract: An automotive door is equipped with a window regulator for raising and lowering a window glass. The window regulator includes reconfigurable bracket assemblies that are mirror images of each other. Each bracket assembly includes a base plate that has a guide block for attaching the bracket assembly to a guide member of the automotive window regulator, and a clamp plate that is attached to the base plate in a first position with respect to the clamp plate or in a second position with respect to the clamp plate. The base plate is symmetrical with respect to an imaginary lateral centerline whereby a first bracket assembly may be configured by attaching the clamp plate to the base plate in the first position or a second bracket assembly may be produced by attaching the clamp plate to the base plate in the second position, the second clamp plate being a mirror image of the first bracket assembly.

Abstract: A rear window module is designed for the rear window of a truck passenger cab. The rear window module is pre-assembled as a single unit having a housing attaching rigidly to a frame. The housing inserts into the cab from a rear opening. The frame attaches to a peripheral edge of the cab which defines the rear opening. The housing supports a motor actuated pane movement mechanism capable of moving a central pane positioned within the frame in a vertical direction. The rear window module may also include side vents capable of pivoting to an open position.

Abstract: A vehicle door handle assembly has a support that includes a concave shell having a pair of vertically spaced bosses with pivot holes for two concentric shafts. One shaft is operated by a handle in the shell and moves an operating lever behind the shell. The other shaft is operated by a lock knob in the shell and moves a second operating lever behind the shell.
