Abstract: A smart electronic power steering system and method for a retrofitted electric vehicle are provided. In one embodiment, an electronic power steering system comprises a relief valve; a pump in communication with the relief valve; a motor configured to operate the pump; a motor controller configured to control the motor; and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a desired maximum pressure value from a retrofitted electric vehicle and configure the relief valve or motor controller to provide relief at the desired maximum pressure value; and receive a desired flow rate from the retrofitted electric vehicle and configure the motor controller to operate the motor at a speed to achieve the desired flow rate. Other embodiments are provided.

Abstract: A mobile charging station with battery storage for electric vehicles is provided. In one embodiment, a mobile charging station receives a continuous Level 2 charge, converts the continuous Level 2 charge to an intermittent Direct Current Fast Charge (DCFC), and provides the intermittent Direct Current Fast Charge (DCFC) to an electric vehicle for charging. In another embodiment, the mobile charging station has a plurality of charging inputs and charging outputs and provides charge received from one of the plurality of charging inputs to one of the plurality of charging outputs. In yet another embodiment, the mobile charging station is mobile but not integrated in any one vehicle. Other embodiments are provided.

Abstract: A multiparameter lighting apparatus is disclosed that allows an operator of a central controller to remotely choose a first rotation of a selected gobo of the multiparameter lighting apparatus. The first rotation is typically a substantially smooth rotation. A second rotation can also be chosen, wherein the second rotation causes an animation of the selected gobo.
