    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for an adaptive control system of powered earth-moving construction and/or mining vehicles. In some situations, the systems/techniques may receive signals from various controls of the powered earth-moving construction and/or mining vehicles that provide signals at various high-level voltages and low-level voltages and provide commands to the various controls by modifying command signals to various high-level voltages and low-level voltages. The systems/techniques may employ various modular input/output daughtercards to modify the various signals and commands.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a cable guide (1) for a cable connection between a vehicle body (52) and a sliding door (54) comprising a first connection device (4), a second connection device (2) and an energy chain (3) running between the first connection device (4) and the second connection device (2), which has a stretched configuration when the sliding door (54) is closed and a deflected configuration when the sliding door (54) is open, wherein the energy chain (3) has a first end link (42) at one end and a second end link (42) at the opposite end (22), wherein the first end link (42) is pivoted on the first connection device (4) and the second connection device (2) comprises a tensioning device (24) for the energy chain (3).
    The cable guide (1) according to the invention is further characterized in that the second end link (22) of the energy chain (3) is mounted longitudinally movable on the second connection device (2) and is acted upon by the tensioning device (24) in such a way that, in stretched configuration of the energy chain (3), the second end link (22) is sustained in a floating equilibrium position movable in both directions.
    The invention also relates to a motor vehicle (5) with a vehicle body (52) and at least one sliding door (54), which comprises a cable guide (1) according to the invention.

    Abstract: A transport vehicle includes a vehicle body, a drive unit, and a coupling device coupling the vehicle body with the drive unit. The drive unit includes a wheel, a travel drive source configured to drive the wheel in such a manner as to rotate the wheel, and a steering device configured to turn the wheel around a steering axis along an up-down direction. The coupling device includes an attachment section attached to the vehicle body, and an adjustment mechanism allowing a reference direction to be changed around the steering axis relative to a front-rear direction of the vehicle body by changing an attachment orientation of the attachment section relative to the vehicle body.

    Abstract: A shift lever switch includes a plurality of first connection terminals and a first circuit using the plurality of first connection terminals in a first electrical configuration. A wiper lever switch includes a plurality of second connection terminals and a second circuit using the plurality of second connection terminals in a second electrical configuration different from the first electrical configuration. A processor is configured to determine whether a switch connected to the connector is the shift lever switch or the wiper lever switch, based on whether a plurality of connection terminals of the switch connected to a right connector are used in the first electrical configuration or the second electrical configuration.

    Abstract: A device for identifying a position of a grip member of a vehicle handle includes a cam rotatably movable inside the device around an axis fixed relative to the grip member. The cam is rotatably secured to a lever, which is rotatably movable around the axis, so that an angular position of the cam around the axis is directly related to an angular position of the lever around the axis. The angular position of the lever is also mechanically related to the position of the grip member. The device includes at least one switch secured to the handle and complementary to a member of the cam, so that the at least one switch is configured to be in electrical contact with the member of the cam when the angular position of the cam is equal to one or more predetermined angular positions around the axis.
