Abstract: A lighting device including predetermined harmonious lighting zones with independence utilizing a single cavity. The lighting device provides predetermined selectively independent lighting zones that can have harmonious appearance when turned all on but maintain crisp zone definition when turned on independently. These lighting zones are generated by a single optical cavity. Hexagonal or other predetermined shaped one-piece or multi-piece lens includes inside plating to provide inner and outer light separation. There is provided isolation of light guides by use of plating in a one piece design or multipiece design.

Abstract: A method for electro-magnetic interference shielding (EMI) of a battery box (10) or other EMI emitting device in a vehicle. The method includes the steps of forming a battery box enclosure (10) with an effective amount of a shielding material (20) attached to the enclosure (10). In one embodiment the box (10) is an SMC or injection molded preformed enclosure (10), and a metallic material (20) is attached to the enclosure (10) on an interior or exterior side of the enclosure (10). In another embodiment the enclosure (10) and mesh (20) are formed in the same mold cavity (24) for embedding the shielding material (20) in the enclosure (10).

Abstract: An air flow control panel for controlling the flow of air into a vehicle. The air flow control panel includes an air inlet for a vehicle providing an air flow path with two sheets of material moveable within the air flow path. When the first sheet and the second sheet are in the open position, the window portion of the first sheet and the window portion of the second sheet are aligned in the air inlet and allow air to flow through the air flow path of the air inlet. When the first sheet and the second sheet are in the closed position, the closed portion of the first sheet blocks the open window portion of the second sheet, and the closed portion of the second sheet blocks the open window portion of the first sheet to block the air inlet and air flow through the air flow path.

Abstract: A vehicular window assembly includes a window panel and a perimeter frame having an attaching portion and a frame portion disposed at a first side of the attaching portion. A tab is disposed at a flexible portion of the frame portion. When the tab is moved to an opened state via flexing of the flexible portion, the tab allows for positioning of the window panel at the perimeter frame, allowing for adhesive bonding of the attaching portion at the inner side of the window panel to attach the perimeter frame to the window panel. With the window panel positioned at the perimeter frame, the perimeter edge of the window panel is received in the frame portion and the flexible portion flexes to move the tab to a closed state, where the tab overlaps a perimeter region of the outer side of the window panel.

Abstract: A manufacturing process for an active grille shutter arrangement including in-mold assembly of an active aero hinge modular frame that allows for the joining of multiple components that are to be assembled directly out of the molding process tooling. These components could be the vane end pivots, vane end stops, drive linkages, frame end stops, etc. Final assembly of the system is facilitated by geometrical considerations and molding material considerations in the in-mold assembly (IMA) design.
