  • Patent number: 10602119
    Abstract: It is contemplated that the present invention can provide methods and systems for the near-simultaneous frame acquisition from multiple cameras. This can be achieved in two different ways. If the cameras are set to work in triggering mode, the triggering of a first camera and a subsequent camera are adjusted by overlapping the trigger signals and image communication control signals of each camera in order to capture near-simultaneous images from each of the cameras. If the cameras are in video mode, they will be kept synchronous by using a common clock and starting them at the same time. As each camera generates frames, individual, corresponding frames are sampled from each camera in a sequential manner upon receiving a triggering signal. In this way, near simultaneous images can be sampled and saved from multiple cameras in video mode.

  • Patent number: 10577838
    Abstract: A closure panel latch assembly can include an overslam bumper mechanism comprising a biasing element as a spring formed from a metallic material positioned relative to a slot of the latch assembly. The biasing element resists entry of a striker into the slot beyond a selected position in order to inhibit contact of the striker with a bottom end of the slot. Also provided is a closure panel latch assembly configured with the biasing element as a resilient element positioned relative to the slot of the latch assembly; The biasing element is coupled to the striker engagement member, such that the striker engagement member is positioned to engage the striker and resist travel of the striker towards the bottom end, wherein the biasing element controls the resistance to movement of the striker engagement member by the striker.

  • Patent number: 10465425
    Abstract: A door latch assembly for an automotive vehicle door includes a gearless cinch actuator. The cinch actuator includes an extensible housing member connected to a threaded rod by a nut. The extensible housing member is also connected to a cable for cinching the door. A motor rotates the threaded rod, which moves the extensible housing member between rest and cinched positions. The motor is connected to the threaded rod without the use of gears. An anti-friction agent, such as a combination of a PTFE-containing coating and PTFE-containing grease, is applied between the nut and the threaded rod. The materials and anti-friction agent used at the interface of the threaded rod and nut together provide a friction coefficient (?) of about 0.045 or less.

  • Publication number: 20190188294
    Abstract: The present system and method is directed to a process to facilitate trusted sources of information in an enterprise. The present system and method positions data governance to move away from the element level and focus on the data asset (i.e. repository, interface, subject) level. When data persons are having any issue with their data asset, whether it is a conflicting data asset, interface issues, competing data asset, new data asset build, data subject issue, or the like, a certifier may operate to assess the asset based on our well defined metrics, determine the health through the data asset scoring process, recommend asset services, and provide those services to the data owner who is ultimately responsible for implementing them to improve the data and the data processes.
