Abstract: A method is provided for automatically activating a camera system whenever the control system determines that there is an obstacle in the vehicle's pathway, thereby helping the driver to avoid the obstacle altogether.
Abstract: A hybrid rotor assembly is provided. The assembly utilizes two different types of magnets within the lamination cavities of the lamination stack: sintered permanent magnets and bonded magnets.
Abstract: A method is provided for interconnecting the batteries in a battery pack in a manner that is designed to minimize damage and contamination of the contact surfaces of the interconnect and the battery terminal, thereby minimizing connection resistance and increasing interconnect reliability.
Abstract: A method is provided in which the ride height of a vehicle is automatically increased when an on-board sensor system detects an obstacle within the vehicle's pathway.
