Abstract: A pressure regulating valve including a seal seat that defines an opening. A seat stem is moveable between a closed position in which the seat stem engages the seal seat and prevents fluid flow through the opening, and an open position in which the seat stem is spaced from the seal seat and permits fluid flow through the opening. A biasing element biases the seat stem in the closed position. A housing defines a passage that extends between an inlet and an outlet. The seal seat, seat stem and biasing element are positioned in the passage such that movement of the seat stem between the closed and open positions controls flow of the fluid between the inlet and outlet. The housing has an outer wall including a coupling mechanism for fixing the housing inside a channel of a primary regulator body.

Abstract: In at least some implementations, a method of assembling an electromechanical valve includes positioning the armature stop in a first position at a first distance from a valve seat, actuating the valve to move an armature away from the valve seat, providing a fluid flow to the valve, determining a fluid flow characteristic, and as a function of the fluid flow characteristic, moving the armature stop relative to the valve seat to a second position that is at a distance other than the first distance.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide for pressure relief valve detection and monitoring. A valve assembly includes a striker and an indicator assembly separated by a diaphragm. The diaphragm may be elastically or permanently deformable. The striker may be connected to a relieve valve disk that releases in response to high fluid pressure at the valve. Movement of the striker may be detected by contact with the diaphragm or by sensors near the diaphragm, which may trigger the indicator assembly to provide an external indication of a valve opening.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to detecting sidewalks adjacent to roads. In this regard, a set of potential sidewalk areas adjacent to one or more roads in a vehicle's vicinity may be determined based on map data.

The set of potential sidewalks may be filtered to remove areas unlikely to include a sidewalk. The vehicle may be operated based on the filtered set of potential sidewalk areas, which may include taking precautionary measures when within a predetermined distance from any of the filtered set of potential sidewalks.

Abstract: An automated method is provided for enabling and implementing a beacon-based service location application in a user device having a beacon monitoring application. A service location facilitation server establishes service need criteria for a user of the user device and estimates a service need state for the user. The service need state includes information indicative of a relative need for a desired service. The service location facilitation server then determines whether the service need state meets the service need criteria, and, if so, transmits an instruction to the user device to transition the beacon monitoring application from an inactive state to an active monitoring state.

Abstract: Systems and methods may coordinate and execute bidirectional energy transfer events between electrified vehicles and other devices or structures. Weather related data and/or grid related data may be leveraged for predicting the likelihood of power outage conditions of a grid power source. When power outage conditions are likely, a charging storage limit of a traction battery pack of the electrified vehicle may be automatically increased. The increased charging storage limit temporarily increases the energy storage capacity of the traction battery pack in anticipation of expected power outage conditions, thereby better preparing the traction battery pack for use as a backup power source during the power outage conditions.
