Abstract: A driver assistance system aids a driver in charging one or more trailer-mounted batteries in a trailer being towed by an electrified passenger vehicle. Many existing charging facilities for electric vehicles have charging stalls with a layout configured to accommodate single vehicles. Charging facilities having drive-through or elongated charging stalls able to accommodate larger vehicles which are towing an electrified trailer are much scarcer. When attempting to charge a trailer-mounted battery in a charging stall meant for a single vehicle, it may be necessary to unhitch (i.e., decouple) the trailer while in the charging stall so that the passenger vehicle does not block the aisles of a charging station. Sensors in the vehicle perform a sensor sweep of a selected charging stall, and after unhitching, the trailer uses an independent drive system to park itself in the selected charging stall using driving commands which are calculated from the sensor sweep.

Abstract: Battery-powered electrified vehicles towing one or more trailers carrying additional rechargeable batteries results in a multi-battery system for which the act of charging the batteries becomes more challenging. A vehicle driver assistance system hereof aids a driver for identifying recharging stations meeting a desired recharging objective for the combined vehicle/trailer having a main battery and a secondary battery to be recharged. The system guides the driver to a parking location and provides instructions for obtaining a hookup to a recharging station.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a portable lachrymatory and electrical device. The portable lachrymatory and electrical device includes a fluid reservoir containing a lachrymatory composition, and a pump in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir and an orifice. The orifice is operable to emit a fluid stream trajectory of the lachrymatory composition there-through. The portable lachrymatory and electrical device also includes two terminals operable to deliver an electric potential between the two terminals.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a portable wireless electroshock device. The portable wireless electroshock device includes (A) a fluid reservoir containing a conductive fluid and (B) a pump in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir and a terminal having an orifice. The orifice is operable to emit a fluid stream trajectory of the conductive fluid there-through, and the terminal is operable to deliver an electrical current through the fluid stream trajectory.
