Patent CA-2452296-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FLICK KENNETH E
IPC: B60R25/10
Filed: 2003-12-23
Abstract: A pre-warn vehicle security device is for a vehicle including a data communications bus, an alert indicator, and an alarm controller. The alarm controller may interface with the data communications bus and, when in an armed mode, may cause the alert indicator to generate an alarm indication responsive to a high security threat level. More particularly, the pre-warn vehicle security device may include a pre-warn vehicle security sensor for sensing a threat level lower than the high security threat level and a pre-warn emulator. Responsive to the pre-warn vehicle security sensor, the pre-warn emulator may generate at least one signal on the data communications bus so that the alarm controller causes the alert indicator to generate an emulated pre-warn indication different from the alarm indication.

Abstract: A plug and seal assembly for use in an automatic transmission provides a fluid coupling interface between transmission components to facilitate the passage of fluid. One plug design has a cylindrical body with a terminal edge at one axial end.  A seal is joined to the plug at the terminal axial edge and extends both radially inward and radially outward relative to the terminal axial edge. This single seal design provides leak protection between the plug and transmission housing and between the plug and a tube inserted through the plug. Another plug design has a radially extending flange at one end of the cylindrical plug body. An outer seal annularly disposed about the radial flange prevents leakage between the plug and the surrounding transmission parts. An inner annular seal is disposed within the cylindrical body of the plug and prevents leakage between the plug interior and a fluid conveyance tube inserted through the plug. A pierceable sealing membrane spans one of the plug orifices as a sheath-type shroud or cover.
