Abstract: An in-wheel electrical generator for a vehicle is disclosed. The in-wheel generator comprises: a stator configured to be coupled to a non-rotating spindle of a vehicle; and a rotor configured to be indirectly coupled to a rotating hub of a vehicle. The in-wheel electrical generator is configured to be arranged outwardly of the rotating hub. A vehicle comprising such an in-wheel generator is also disclosed, along with an ancillary unit system for a trailer which uses such an in-wheel generator to power the ancillary unit.

Abstract: The various examples of the present disclosure are directed towards a multi-physics controller that can predict and monitor ablation procedures. In some examples of the present disclosure, fat saturation images can be used to create custom microwave ablation bioelectric/biothermal models. In some examples of the present disclosure, a deformation correction methodology can be used. Thereby, microwave and mechanics computational models can forecast therapeutic delivery intraoperatively while correcting for deformation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a wheel cover for use to cover the wheel of a tractor or trailer. The wheel cover includes an inner support section and an outer main section. The outer main section includes a wheel cover surface and an outer edge. Further, the wheel cover includes a ratchet assembly comprising a spring, a support block, an operating holder and an extension. When installed on a truck wheel, the ratchet extension engages an outer radial edge of the inner support section that is installed on a wheel hub.

Abstract: A commercial vehicle wheel cover including a frame having a locking door, at least two hinge points, at least two spring attachments, and at least two retaining features. The frame has a front side and a back side, with the at least two hinge points arranged integrally and circumferentially on the back side of the frame. The at least two spring attachments are rotatably connected to the at least two hinge points. The at least two retaining features are located adjacent to said at least two hinge points in the radial direction, and the at least two spring attachments are secured in the at least two retaining features. One of the at least two hinge points is located on the locking door. The locking door is used to install the final spring attachment on the drop center or hub of a wheel.

Abstract: A structural bunk system for a sleeper cab or other confined space is provided. The bunk system includes first and second shells that are made by injection molding and are then bonded together. The structural bunk system is secured to the wall of the sleeper cab or other confined space and is adapted to be moved between and upright stowed position and a lowered sleeping or storage position.

Abstract: A cortical surface registration procedure related to a diagnostic or surgical procedure. In one embodiment, the procedure includes the steps of pre-operatively obtaining a first textured point cloud of the cortical surface of a targeted region of a brain of a living subject, intra-operatively obtaining optically a second textured point cloud of the cortical surface of the brain of the living subject, and aligning the first textured point cloud of the cortical surface to the second textured point cloud of the cortical surface so as to register images of the brain of the living subject to the cortical surface of the living subject.

Abstract: A method of compensation for intra-operative brain shift of a living subject. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of pro-operatively acquiring brain images of the living subject, constructing a statistical atlas of brain displacements of the living subject from the pro-operatively acquired brain images, intra-operatively measuring brain displacements of the living subject, deriving an intra-operative displacement atlas from the intra-operatively measured brain displacements and the statistical atlas, obtaining intra-operative brain shift at least from the intra-operative displacement atlas, and compensating for the intra-operative brain shift.

Abstract: An engine access cover assembly in a cab of an over the highway truck or tractor. The assembly includes a mounting bezel and an engine cover. The mounting bezel is fastened to a perimeter of an engine access opening. The mounting bezel defines a cover mounting surface that extends past an obstruction, such as a fixed floor mat in the cab. The engine cover has a mating surface that coacts with the mounting surface. A plurality of fastening members, such as screws or latches, secure the bezel and cover together.
