A wiring arrangement of a wiring harness 41 at an underfloor 34 is finished by arranging a connecting member 43 to a position of a through-hole 35 , by extending a sheath 48 on the underfloor 34 parallel to the underfloor 34 while the sheath 48 is received in a wire protect member 44 , and by fixing a terminal fixing member 45 and the wire protecting member 44 to the underfloor 34 . After such a wiring arrangement, the wiring harness 41 is electrically connected to a junction block 31 around the through-hole 35 by mounting a battery 25 or the like.

The structural element (60) has fiber layers composite (62) having fiber layers (66,68). An electrical conduit (12) has terminal sections (14,16) at opposite ends, and is surrounded by an electrical contact (50). The electrical conduit is arranged between fiber layers of the composite and is firmly connected to electrical contact. An independent claim is included for method for manufacturing structural element.

The invention concerns a floor (14) for a motor vehicle (2), comprising: - a lower floor (22) made from a composite material; and - an upper floor (24) made from a composite material, extending opposite at least a portion of the lower floor (22), the lower (22) and upper (24) floors being linked to each other. The floor (14) is characterised in that it comprises at least one cavity (26) delimited at least partially by the lower (22) or upper (24) floor and communicating with the exhaust line (27) of the motor vehicle (2).

An apparatus is operable to cause a print unit to generate first printed matter based on a first setting designated by a first designator. The apparatus includes an identifier adapted to identify a second setting that can be utilized in substitution for the first setting, a notifier adapted to notify an operator of information about the second setting identified by the identifier, and a producer adapted to cause the print unit to generate second printed matter based on the second setting designated by a second designator, after notifying the operator of the information.

System and a program product

Methods for producing subassemblies comprised of at least two metal components, at least one of which is comprised of a heat-treatable steel, may involve a number of steps. For example, a thermal joining technique may be employed to join the two metal components at one or more connection points to form the subassembly. One or more regions of the subassembly may then be hardened to cause one or more of the connection points to have at least partially a hardened microstructure.

Assembly of hardened components and method for production

A process for fabricating a fiber composite underbody panel for a vehicle begins by laying-up a first fiber composite sheet on a suitable form or tool. Current carrying wiring that is normally carried by the floor is laid in place on the first sheet, with the ends of the wires extending beyond the edges of the sheet. The wires are shielded to prevent the radiation of fields therefrom into the interior of the vehicle. Fiber optic cable is used to carry signals. A second fiber composite sheet is then laid-up on the first sheet. The two sheets with the embedded wires are placed in a heated mold to form the sheets into the desired finished shape and configuration. The ends of the copper wires and the fiber optic cables are then terminated by connectors so that they may be later coupled to the circuitry of the vehicle.
