A flex circuit interface for inductively charging a power source includes a flex circuit having a primary-portion and at least one folding portion. A device contact and a battery contact are disposed on a folding-portion. A secondary coil is disposed on the flex circuit for receiving inductively transferred power. A secondary receiving circuit is also disposed on the flex circuit. The secondary receiving circuit is in communication with the secondary coil to receive power from the coil. The flex circuit includes a battery contact and at least one pass-through contact. The battery contact is in communication with the secondary circuit for delivering power to the battery.

A structural member of the present invention includes a substrate having portions defining an inwardly extending channel and a blow molded member in contact with the substrate. The blow molded member has portions that engage the portions of the substrate that define the inwardly extending channel such that the blow molded member is secured to the substrate.

Structural hybrid beam utilizing an extruded profile

The present invention is generally directed towards a composite structural fluid handling duct in a motor vehicle. The composite structural fluid handling duct comprises a substrate defining an aperture and a blow molded member, wherein a portion of the blow molded member extends into the aperture to form a retaining member. A portion of the substrate forming the aperture is deformed such that the aperture has an inner dimension and an outer dimension. The composite structural fluid handling duct also has an inlet for allowing fluid to enter, and at least one outlet for exhausting fluid from the duct.

Structural composite air handling duct

The present invention is generally directed towards a structural member formed from a sheet metal reinforced with blow-molded member. The sheet metal is in form of a channel with three sides. The blow-molded member has a first portion that contours the three sides of the channel and a second portion that is connected to the first portion to define a hollow interior. The sheet metal has a plurality of openings such that the blow-molded member forms a retention bulb around the openings.

A door module for instillation into a door of an automotive vehicle, one embodiment of which comprises: a generally rigid hollow interior enclosure having an interior chamber opposed generally vertical inboard and outboard walls, opposed generally vertical forward and rearward walls, a generally horizontal bottom wall and a top wall. The enclosure is configured such that the top wall transitions from a generally horizontal portion thereof proximate the rearward wall to a generally inclined portion thereof proximate the forward wall. The inboard wall includes a hole defined therein for sealably receiving an audio assembly.
