Abstract: The embodiments set forth herein disclose techniques for enabling a user device to seamlessly establish a secure, high-bandwidth wireless connection with a vehicle accessory system to enable the user device to wirelessly stream user interface (UI) information to the vehicle accessory system. To implement this technique, a lower-bandwidth wireless technology (e.g., Bluetooth) is used as an initial means for establishing a Wi-Fi pairing between the user device and the vehicle accessory system. Wi-Fi parameters associated with a Wi-Fi network provided by the vehicle accessory system can be communicated to the user device using the lower-bandwidth wireless technology. A secure Wi-Fi connection can then be established between the user device and the vehicle accessory system using the provided Wi-Fi parameters. The embodiments also disclose a technique for enabling the user device to automatically reconnect with the vehicle accessory system in a seamless manner (e.g., when returning to a vehicle).

Abstract: Airstream deflector assembly (D) on the underside (16) of a large vehicle such as a semi-trailer (T) or the like, to reduce drag, improve fuel economy, and reduce turbulence of rain or snow on a roadway (R) traveled by the vehicle, such assembly comprising a main panel (30) which is essentially flat and situated well forward of the following tires (14) of the vehicle and deflecting the airstream downwardly primarily below the following axle (15) and centers of such following tires (14), such main deflection panel (D) having mounted thereon four lateral airstream deflectors, two (80) outboardly and two (90) inboardly of the panel (30) which serve to concentrate the deflected airstream laterally toward the following tires (14) of the vehicle and away from the "tunnel" between the tires (14).
