Scalable, Modular Architecture For Automotive Power Distribution And Body Control Functions

US Patent:
6700795, Mar 2, 2004
Filed:
Jan 23, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/055563
Inventors:
James L. Jones - White Lake MI
Jarrett Nyschick - Westland MI
Kenneth J. Russel - Westland MI
Yongmin Sheng - Novi MI
Assignee:
Yazaki North America - Canton MI
International Classification:
H05K 111
US Classification:
361784, 361803, 361826, 307 108
Abstract:
The architecture of an automotive wiring, power distribution and accessory control system is described. The system comprises semi-custom two-tier nodes which are distributed in locations around the vehicle to service load devices associated with or found in different regions of the automobile topology. A multiplexed control network interconnects the nodes along with a two-wire bus. Each node consists of a first common board carrying a microcontroller and a basic number of FET driver switches associated with a basic level of accessorization for that region of the vehicle. Each node further comprises a second larger pass through board which supports the first common board in spaced parallel relationship therewith and which carries terminal connectors. The larger pass through board has vacant locations for the addition of FET drivers needed for higher levels of accessorization. These locations are preconnected to the microcontroller but are unused in vehicles with lower levels of accessorization.

Serviceable Fused Battery Terminal

US Patent:
2002009, Jul 25, 2002
Filed:
Jan 24, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/768834
Inventors:
Benjamin Hulbert - Tucson AZ, US
James Roberts - Royal Oak MI, US
James Jones - White Lake MI, US
Thomas Rumsey - Livonia MI, US
International Classification:
H01M002/30
US Classification:
429/178000, 429/121000
Abstract:
A serviceable fused battery terminal comprising a disposable fused battery end containing a fuse link, the disposable fused battery end being initially integrated with a cable-connecting portion of the terminal which is secured to an electrical cable, for example by crimping in known manner. When the fuse blows, the battery end is removed from the cable-connecting end by breaking or separating it, while the cable-connecting end remains secured to the cable in its original fashion. A portion of the cable-connecting end is formed as a reattachment point for a replacement fused battery end 22, which is then secured to the remaining original cable-connecting end to create a new fused terminal. The inventive terminal allows for the easy replacement of blown fuses in the field without having to cut or otherwise remove the cable-connecting portion of the terminal from the cable.
