A barrier system provides protection against rear cargo load intrusion into a passenger compartment of a vehicle. The barrier system is located in the rear cargo compartment of the vehicle. The barrier system includes a load bearing barrier net, a first set of attachments that connect the load bearing barrier net to a shelf panel in the rear cargo compartment and a second set of attachments that connect the load bearing barrier net to a wheel house in the rear cargo compartment. The first set of attachments is removable and the second set of attachments is not removable.

A passenger airbag assembly is provided with a guide chute. The chute guides a deploying airbag to a door in the instrument panel. The door comprises steel inserts molded into the material of the door. The steel inserts include three slots spaced apart to absorb stress. To reinforce the hinges of the door, a guide or reinforcement ledge is provided at the sides. To reinforce the ledge, ramps are provided on the underside of the ledge.

A clutch pack actuation system for compressing the annular clutch pack of a limited slip differential includes a pump which can provide a supply of pressurized fluid, an annular member provided between the pump and the annular clutch pack, and an annular piston which is slidable within the annular member. Together with the annular member, the annular piston defines a clutch pressure chamber adapted to receive the supply of pressurized fluid. A fluid return line, by which the pressurized fluid is discharged from the clutch pressure chamber, is provided, and a valve, through which the pressurized fluid is returned to a fluid reservoir, is disposed in the fluid return line. The valve includes an element which is electromagnetically actuated so as to produce a desired pressure in the clutch pressure chamber.

An anti-rattle includes an arrangement configured to couple to a disk brake caliper and a curved spring section that is configured to compress in response to a rattling of the caliper towards the clip, reducing the impact energy of the rattling.

A pressure-relieving valve is connected to relieve air pressure from an internal diameter of a transmission pump. On startup, pressurized oil is delivered to the torque converter. At engine idle speed, the centrifugal effects on the oil cause any air (which may have leaked into the torque converter during the shut-sown time) to accumulate at the center of the converter. Air pressure output from a torque converter escapes between the housing and the transmission pump to which it is connected. The escaped air reaches the internal diameter of the pump and it is prevented from blowing across the face of the pump to the suction side of the pump by a ball and check valve arrangement which delivers the air to a non-fluid internal part of a transmission, thereby avoiding the leakage of this air to the suction side of the pump and the possible loss of pump prime.

A tachometer redline display system having separately controllable sections for illuminating one or more of the sections from a removable outside programmable source. The selection of particular ones of the illumination portions allows for construction of a tachometer display device usable with all types of engines. Different redline requirements for different engines are taken into account by the number of illumination portions being turned on in response to the outside programmable source to provide improved efficiency in production and a streamlining of vehicle assembly lines containing tachometers.

In a hybrid vehicle having an internal combustion engine that is assisted by an electric motor powered by a traction battery, the electric motor is operated in a generating mode to charge the vehicle battery during periods when neither acceleration assist nor regenerative braking are being performed. Torque of the electric motor is adjusted by a controller to generate a battery charge current which regulates the voltage of the battery to a selected setpoint. The setpoint is determined as a function of vehicle operating parameters, including but not limited to battery temperature.

An integrated inlet manifold tuning valve for a variable configuration air inlet manifold and a charge motion control system. A tuning valve, which is preferably approximately a quarter-barrel valve, is arranged at an end of the low- and high-speed runners at or near an intake port for an internal combustion engine. The tuning valve operates to tune the variable manifold and provide a mixture motion for charge motion control.

A fuel pump for an engine may include a cylinder, a piston displaceably disposed in the cylinder, and a cam driven by the engine. The cam engages the piston to form a cam-follower mechanism so that the rotation of the cam generates a reciprocal movement of the piston inside the cylinder. The cam preferably includes a variable cam lobe having a maximum radius that is a function of engine speed so that the displacement of the piston generated by the variable cam lobe is a function of the engine speed. The cam may also include a weight that is subject to a centrifugal force when the ram is rotating. Alternatively, the maximum radius of the variable cam lobe may be a function of pump outlet pressure so that the displacement of the piston generated by the variable cam lobe is a function of the pump outlet pressure.

A bracket is adapted for connection to a vehicle body part in order to mount a striker cooperating with a door lock mechanism of a motor vehicle. The striker is to be rigidly secured by bolts to the vehicle body part. The bracket includes a striker mount portion, with holes defined therein adapted to receive the bolts, and a weld portion, by which the bracket can be welded to the back surface of the vehicle body part. A pair of deformable limbs interconnects the striker mount portion and the weld portion. By way of these deformable limbs, a position of the striker mount portion relative to the weld portion is adjustable to change the positions of the holes and accommodate repositioning of the bolts. The limbs have offset portions which are laterally displaced with respect to the striker mount portion and the weld portion such that the offset portions include side surfaces parallel to but not co-planar with side surfaces of the striker mount and weld portions. A process for adjusting the position at which a striker is mountable is also contemplated.
