Abstract: An air deflector that is at least partially disposable within a tubeless tire of a bicycle wheel includes a body. The body includes at least one wall defining an air input end and an air output end of the body. The body is attachable to a valve of the tubeless tire at the air input end, such that when air is introduced into the body via the valve, at least some of the air is deflectable by one or more walls of the at least one wall out of the body at the air output end.

Abstract: A brake control unit includes a processor, a first high side driver and a second high side driver. The processor sends signals to the first high side driver and the second high side driver. The first and second high side drivers process the signals independent of each other. The processor diagnoses faults and locations of faults based on feedback from the high side drivers. The first high side driver controls the braking of a first trailer brake. The second high side driver controls the braking of a second trailer brake.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage media for path validation are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may comprise identifying a target path for an activity, including a start and end point, as well as a buffer zone surrounding at least a portion of the target path, receiving a plurality of progressive checkpoints, each intersecting the target path and the buffer zone at one or more points, receiving a plurality of user activity data points associated with the activity, generating a user path corresponding to the plurality of user activity data points, and validating the user path in relation to the target path. In some implementations, the validation is based on determining whether the user path intersects the start and/or end point, a threshold number of progressive checkpoints, and/or whether a portion of user activity data points within the buffer zone is at or above a threshold.
