International Classification:

H01R 25/00

US Classification:

439638

Abstract:

A high voltage connector system includes a first header for connection to a first electronic device, a first connector that connects to the first header, a second header that connects to a second electronic device, a second connector that connects to the second header, and a plurality of wires connecting the first connector and the second connector. The first header includes a first plurality of header terminals that are electrically connected together such that a high voltage electric current is divided into a plurality of sub-currents. The second header has a second plurality of header terminals that are electrically connected together such that the plurality of sub-currents are joined together to reform the first high voltage electric current.

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320109

Abstract:

A charger system for use in a vehicle to charge a vehicle battery includes a first charger and a second charger. The chargers are connected to a vehicle bus. Each charger has a master indication digital input and decodes the input to determine its role as master charger or slave charger. The master charger configures its connection to the vehicle bus to use a master node message set. The slave charger configures its connection to the vehicle bus to use a slave node message set.

International Classification:

H01R 13/502
H01R 43/20

US Classification:

439695, 29876

Abstract:

A connector assembly having a body is provided. The body forms an inlet, an internal cavity, and an outlet. A plate is oriented in the cavity and adjacent to the outlet. A harness partially extends through the inlet, into the cavity, and is connected to the plate. A molded material is disposed over the harness within the internal cavity on an inlet side of the plate. The molded material includes an integrally formed grommet that is oriented at the inlet of the body for providing strain relief to the harness.

Appl. No.:

8/536596

Inventors:

Chris R. Waters - Royal Oak MI
Michael B. Hardy - Madison Heights MI
John D. Baker - Troy MI

Assignee:

Chrysler Corporation - Auburn Hills MI

International Classification:

G06F 1516

US Classification:

39520054

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method and apparatus for determining the availability of a computer network includes a computer program which receives outage signals that are representative of outages of network devices and network device interfaces, in the event that a particular device has more than one network interface. Also, the program receives online signals on a periodic basis and based on the online signals, determines the average number of online interface-minutes during a subset of a preselected period. Then, the number of outage minutes is divided by the average number of online interface-minutes and substracted from one, to generate an availability signal which can be output as an indication of network availability during the preselected period.
