  • Patent number: 11044823
    Abstract: An electronics device includes a folded printed circuit board which is folded about at least one fold region which defines a first section and a second section. A housing has a plurality of side portions. The first section of the folded printed circuit board is secured along an outer surface of a first side portion of the plurality of side portions. The housing further includes an interior. At least one first slot is defined within the interior and disposed along or near a second side portion arranged opposite the first side portion. At least one first pin member is disposed partly within the at least one first slot and extends therefrom. A distal end portion of the at least one first pin member engages with the second section of the folded printed circuit board so as to hold the second section in position over the interior of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20200220424
    Abstract: A spring retention system for securing a motor in a desired position. The spring retention system includes a captive feature, which includes a plurality of recesses formed as a motor support spring having a circular opening, which are engaged with a motor bearing housing. The spring retention system reduces motor displacement in multiple directions when the motor is exposed to vibrations, which reduces the cantilever bending on the motor shaft and the motor housing, also improving motor pinion run out. The spring retention system also includes a formed opening feature, which allows for the spring retention system to fit with motor bearings having different sizes. The spring retention system also includes a plurality of spring leg retention features formed as part of the motor support spring, which support the motor bearing housing on an axis, and the module housing supports the motor support spring.

  • Publication number: 20160167674
    Abstract: Driving skills of a driver are objectively monitored in real time using a telematics system, a navigation system, and a processor, which is configured to receive data from the telematics system that defines a predetermined vehicle operation the vehicle driver is to perform. The driver's completion of the vehicle operation is monitored and displayed on a display screen. The driver's deviation from a standard or reference model can also be displayed or uploaded to a driver training service provider.
