    Abstract: A selectably engaged rotary union includes a stator body, and a rotor configured to rotate relative to the stator body, the stator body surrounding a portion of the rotor and configured to transfer a fluidic medium between the stator body and the rotor. The selectably engaged rotary union further includes a plurality of sealing elements affixed to the stator body and disposed between the stator body and the rotor, a gap being present between the plurality of sealing elements and the rotor, where the plurality of sealing elements are configured to selectably close the gap so as to produce a temporary seal between the stator body and the rotor enabling a transfer of the fluidic medium.

    Abstract: An adaptive tire system can include retractable and extendable bolts for enhancing traction, for example, on ice-covered roadways. The system can include pneumatically operated bolt assemblies mounted inside a tire having custom reinforced belts. The bolt assemblies can include locking devices configured to be biased towards a locked position so as to lock deployable bolts into extended and/or retracted positions without the need for persistently or continuously applied actuation force or energy. The system can include wheel-mounted, manually operated controls or remote and/or automated controls. The system can include rotary unions for transmitting actuation controls from a vehicle body into an associated wheel. The bolts can also be adjustable and can include removable and replaceable tips serviced from tire exterior while inflated, deflated, on wheel or off wheel.
