Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for a vehicle tethered by a hitch to a trailer. The method includes generating sensor data from one or more sensors that are responsive to forces applied to the hitch by a vehicle mechanically coupled to the hitch; receiving sensor data to compute a direction for the guidance of the trailer; monitoring a set of parameters reflecting forces in a lateral and traverse direction derived from data generated by the sensors wherein the set of parameters include at least one parameter of a magnitude of force, and at least one parameter of the direction of force acting upon the hitch; and calculating at least a rate-of-change of the magnitude of force and direction over time to determine a trajectory for the trailer that enables the trailer to follow the lead vehicle without a tractive effort of the lead vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a platform, a first axle beam attached to a front end of the platform at a first pivot, and a second axle beam attached to a rear end of the platform at a second pivot. The first axle beam is rotatable independently of the platform. The second axle beam is rotatable independently of the platform. The vehicle includes a plurality of first wheels fixed to the first axle beam and configured to move the platform. The vehicle includes a plurality of second wheels fixed to the second axle beam and configured to move the platform. The vehicle includes a link attached to one side of the platform at a third pivot. The link is movable about the third pivot independently of the beams to constrain movement of the platform in response to articulation of the first axle beam and/or the second axle beam.

Abstract: Presented are adaptive propulsion assist systems and control logic for manually-powered vehicles, methods for making/using such systems, and intelligent electric scooters with distributed sensing and control-loop feedback for adaptive e-assist operations. A method for regulating a propulsion assist system of a manually-powered vehicle includes a vehicle controller detecting a user contacting the vehicle's handlebar, responsively receiving sensor signals indicative of a user-applied force to the handlebar, and then determining a net user-applied force based on the handlebar force and user-generated forces applied to the scooter deck. The vehicle controller also receives sensor signals indicative of the vehicle's current acceleration, and determines therefrom a pitch angle of the surface on which the vehicle moves. Responsive to the net force being greater than zero and the pitch angle being greater than a calibrated threshold angle, the controller commands the traction motor to increase motor torque output by a calibrated force gain increment.

Abstract: An HVAC vent is provided. The HVAC vent includes a housing and an electro-mechanical diaphragm. The housing defines an air inlet for receiving cooling air from an HVAC module, an air chamber for enclosing the air received, and an air outlet configured to facilitate the generation of vortex rings. The electro-mechanical diaphragm is connected to the housing and cooperates with the configured air outlet and the receipt of cooling air from the HVAC module to project the received cooling air in the air chamber out of the air outlet as generated vortex rings.

Abstract: A mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a housing, a first mirror, and a second mirror. The housing includes a plurality of sides and is configured to rotate about a first axis. The plurality of sides includes a first side and a second side. The first side has a first length extending in perpendicular relationship to the first axis. The second side has a second length extending in perpendicular relationship to the first axis. The first side is adjacent the second side such that a first angle is defined therebetween. The first length is greater than the second length. The first mirror is operatively attached to the first side and the second mirror is operatively attached to the second side. The first mirror presents a greater surface area than the second mirror.

Abstract: A receiver hitch for a tow vehicle comprises a tubular receiver located centrally of the receiver hitch having a receiver opening facing outwardly of the tow vehicle. Hitch pin openings are located in opposing side-walls of the tubular receiver having a common axis and configured to receive a hitch pin. A detection device, for detection of the hitch pin, is located about an outer portion of the tubular receiver and includes hitch pin openings that are located in opposing side-walls and have the common axis of the hitch pin openings in the tubular receiver. Electrical contacts at the hitch pin openings in the detection device are in communication with an electrical circuit of the tow vehicle. The hitch pin operates to close the electrical circuit upon insertion into the openings in the detection device and the tubular receiver and contact with the electrical contacts.

Abstract: Disclosed are active vehicle seat assemblies, methods for making and using such seat assemblies, and vehicles with active seat assemblies for counteracting unwanted inertial forces. An active vehicle seat assembly is disclosed that includes an occupant chair with interconnected seat and backrest portions. A motion sensor detects motion of the occupant chair and outputs signals indicative thereof. An automated platform movably mounts the occupant chair to the vehicle body. The platform includes: a pitch plate that pivots about two lateral axes; a pitch actuator that selectively pivots the pitch plate; a roll plate that pivots about two longitudinal axes; and a roll actuator that selectively pivots the roll plate. An on-board controller responds to signals from the motion sensor indicative of inertial motion disturbances to the chair by transmitting control signals to the pitch and/or roll actuators to pivot the pitch and/or roll plates to thereby counteract the inertial disturbances.
