    Abstract: A system and method for locating a trailer coupler on a trailer to assist with the coupling of the trailer coupler to a vehicle hitch on a vehicle. The system includes a human-machine interface, a camera, a global positioning system, a remote computing system, a vehicle-to-infrastructure communication network, controllers, a memory, sensors, and a trailer coupler labeling application. The trailer coupler labeling application includes: sensing at least one of a hitched state and an unhitched state of the trailer coupler, capturing an optical data with the camera when the vehicle hitch is in the hitched and unhitched state, determining a distance of the trailer coupler relative to the camera when the vehicle hitch is in the hitched state, identifying the location of the trailer coupler on an image defined by the captured data and creating a label on the image of the trailer coupler.

    Abstract: A method to assemble and orchestrate elemental value components to accomplish a meaningful higher value. The method including the steps of detecting, by a first sensor, a first vehicle operating parameter, generating, by the first sensor, a first sensor output indicative of the first vehicle operating parameter, populating, by a data pump, a first data repository entry indicative of the first sensor and the first vehicle operating parameter. The method is further operative for generating, by a first processor, a first micro-value output in response to the first data repository entry and a first micro-value algorithm associated with the first sensor, generating, by a concurrent second processor, a first vehicle control signal in response to the first data repository entry, the first micro-value output and a first decision repository table entry associated with the first micro-value output, and controlling, by a vehicle controller, a vehicle in response to the first vehicle control signal.

    Abstract: In exemplary embodiments, methods and systems are provided for controlling braking of a trailer that is coupled to a vehicle. In an exemplary embodiment, a system is provided that includes: one or more sensors configured to obtain sensor data for a vehicle coupled to a trailer, the sensor data including: a measure of engagement of a brake pedal of the vehicle; and a deceleration of the vehicle; and a processor that is coupled to the one or more sensors and that is configured to at least facilitate dynamically controlling braking of the trailer, via instructions provided by the processor to a braking system of the trailer, based on both the measure of engagement of the brake pedal and the deceleration of the vehicle.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for joining multiple workpieces are provided. In one example, the method includes dispensing adhesive on a first workpiece. A second workpiece is contacted with the adhesive such that the adhesive is disposed between the first and second workpieces. Resistance heating is produced in the first and second workpieces at first processing conditions to partially cure the adhesive and affix the first and second workpieces together to form a partially cured, adhesive-joined workpiece assembly. The partially cured, adhesive-joined workpiece assembly is exposed to heat at second processing conditions to substantially fully cure the adhesive.

    Abstract: A method for cross-technology radiofrequency interference mitigation includes detecting an RF device that is within a predetermined distance from a vehicle. The vehicle includes a plurality of wireless communication chipsets, each of the plurality of wireless communication chipsets is configured to wirelessly transmit and receive data. The method further includes determining that signals transmitted by the RF device is causing radiofrequency interference to signals transmitted by the plurality of wireless communication chipsets of the vehicle. Further, method includes commanding at least one of the plurality of wireless communication chipsets or the RF device to perform a control action to minimize the radiofrequency interference in response to determining that the that the signals transmitted by the RF device is causing radiofrequency interference to signals transmitted by the plurality of wireless communication chipsets of the vehicle.
