  • Patent number: 11985459
    Abstract: A mounting system for mounting a loudspeaker to a substrate includes a mounting assembly having an elongated screw, a support member received on and movable along the screw, and a mounting arm rotatably connected to the support member and having a resting position and a working position. A guide housing receives the mounting assembly with the screw extending longitudinally therethrough and includes a wall structure with an open front side and a cap at a top portion of the wall structure. In the resting position, the support member is positioned along the screw at least partially received within the cap and the mounting arm is substantially contained within the wall structure. In the working position, the support member is positioned along the screw to be outside of the cap and the mounting arm is spring-biased away from the screw and extends outwardly through the front side of the wall structure.

  • Publication number: 20240153389
    Abstract: A trailer merge function of a tow vehicle includes receiving sensor data from one or more tow vehicle first sensors of an environment that is rearward of a connected tow vehicle. The method includes determining whether pattern associated with the sensor data matches a predetermined pattern corresponding to sensor data in which a field of view of the one or more first sensors is at least partly blocked by a trailer connected to the tow vehicle. Responsive to determining that the trailer at least partly obstructs the field of view of the one or more first sensors, sending a signal for warning a driver of the tow vehicle of lesser functionality of a trailer merge function, or increasing a reliance of one or more other sensors mounted to the tow vehicle, different from the one or more first sensors, in performing the trailer merge function.
