Abstract: A system and method for operation of an autonomous vehicle (AV) yard truck is provided. A processor facilitates autonomous movement of the AV yard truck, and connection to and disconnection from trailers. A plurality of sensors are interconnected with the processor that sense terrain/objects and assist in automatically connecting/disconnecting trailers. A server, interconnected, wirelessly with the processor, that tracks movement of the truck around and determines locations for trailer connection and disconnection. A door station unlatches/opens rear doors of the trailer when adjacent thereto, securing them in an opened position via clamps, etc. The system computes a height of the trailer, and/or if landing gear of the trailer is on the ground and interoperates with the fifth wheel to change height, and whether docking is safe, allowing a user to take manual control, and optimum charge time(s). Reversing sensors/safety, automated chocking, and intermodal container organization are also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a battery in a vehicle wherein the apparatus (3) comprises: a floor section (5) comprising a plurality of internal coolant channels for receiving coolant; and at least one side member (7) comprising at least one internal supply channel for supplying coolant to the internal channels of the floor section.

Abstract: A method of operating a mobile communication device in a mobile telecommunication network, the method comprising the steps of the mobile communication device: receiving a non integrity-protected message with a parameter value included therein to be implemented on the mobile communication device; using a predetermined value stored on the mobile communication device instead of the parameter value received.

Abstract: Cutting structure for scoring or cutting surfaces is disclosed. The cutting structure includes a housing having elongated sides, a blade and thumb positioning structure associated with the elongated sides. Measurement means may be positioned against the thumb positioning structure and may be held in place by the user's thumb thus providing a measured distance which may be cut. The invention further includes angled structure associated with the housing which provides a guiding surface when making angled or mitered cuts along the edge of drywall. The invention may also include a retractable measuring structure retained within the housing, a retractable blade, retaining means formed in the housing for housing spare blades and a notch for cutting rope and the like.
