Abstract: Generally described, one or more aspects of the present disclosure relate to the configuration and management of one or more components to facilitate dual axis rotation. More specifically, one or more aspects of the present application relate to the configuration or management of a rotation mechanism to facilitate the dual axis rotation of a display device. Illustratively, the display device is mounted on rotation mechanism that facilitates a dual axis rotation utilizing a single actuator, dual rotation joints, and associated linkages. The rotation component further includes at least one additional floating joint that provides additional tension forces relative to a third axis. Still further, in accordance with further embodiments, a control component can be utilized to generate control signals relating to rotation of the single actuators, such as establishing control positions and duty cycles.

Abstract: A vehicle storage assembly is provided that includes a static panel and a removal panel. The static panel has an opening with the removal panel being proximate to the opening. The removal panel moves between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The removal panel covers at least a portion of the opening when in the closed configuration. The vehicle storage system further includes a ferromagnetic member and one or more magnets magnetically coupled to the ferromagnetic member when the removal panel is in the closed configuration. The vehicle storage assembly can further include an electromagnetic coil.

Abstract: Techniques for managing shape memory alloy actuators is described. An example system includes a shape memory alloy (SMA)-actuator configured to cause opening of a compartment included in the vehicle, with the SMA-actuator including a wire formed from an SMA material, and with the wire being configured to be adjusted in position or orientation based on a temperature of the wire. The system further includes a controller, the controller being in communication with one or more sensors, with the sensors being configured to obtain temperature measurements associated with the vehicle. The controller is configured to access a lookup table, with the lookup table mapping temperature measurements to operational parameters, determine operational parameters based on the lookup table, and cause implementation of the operational parameters to cause opening of the compartment, with the operational parameters being associated with adjustment of the temperature of the wire.
