  • Patent number: 8579356
    Abstract: An air splitter panel is attached to a vehicle fascia panel. One of the panels has a plurality of longitudinal extending slots and the other of the panels has a plurality of fastener holes that register with the slots. Fasteners are mounted in each of the holes and extend through the slot registered therewith to attach the panels together while permitting sliding movement of the splitter panel relative to the fascia panel. A yieldable detent acts between the fastener and the one of the panels with the slot to block the sliding movement of the splitter panel until a force applied upon the splitter panel overcomes the yieldable detent to permit the sliding movement of the splitter panel.

  • Publication number: 20130293712
    Abstract: Back-up camera capabilities through a vehicle-integrated wireless communication device include receiving a triggering event via a control system of a vehicle and activating a back-up function responsive to the triggering event. The back-up function includes sending a request to a wireless communication device to transmit in real-time a recording from a recording component of the wireless communication device to a wireless interface of the control system. The back-up camera capabilities also including receiving the recording from the wireless communication device as a live data stream, transmitting the recording to a display device of the vehicle, and displaying the recording on the display device.

  • Patent number: 7594688
    Abstract: A clip device is provided for balancing opposing variation in a tripartite trim stackup. The tripartite stackup includes a first trim member adjacent to a second trim member, and a trim component positioned at a center thereof. The clip device includes a base portion with a locating pin projecting therefrom, which operates to link the trim component to the clip device. A projection extends from the base portion, and mates with the first trim member to provide a pivot for the clip device. First and second protuberances project from the base portion. The first protuberance mates with and links the first trim member to the clip device. The second protuberance mates with and links the second trim member to the clip device. The clip device converts positional variation of the first and second trim members into rotational float, thereby repositioning the trim component at the center of the trim members.
