Abstract: A headlight assembly with a headlight cover having at least one opening to allow a beam of light from a headlight to pass through the opening. The headlight cover may be secured using a snap-fit to allow a user to release and rotate the headlight cover about the hinge without the use of a tool. Once the headlight cover is rotated open, an operator may then adjust a plurality of fasteners located on a headlight sub-assembly to adjust the direction of the beam from the headlight. The headlight sub-assembly may further be rotated about a second hinge to replace a headlight or more extensive repairs.

Abstract: According to one aspect, a communications system for sending a data packet, including a first device, comprising a processor, the processor configured to compose an addressing bitmask and, address the data packet with the bitmask; and, a transmitter connected to the processor for transmitting the addressed data packet; and a second device, comprising a receiver for receiving the addressed data packet; and a processor attached to the receiver, the processor configured to perform a bitmask test on the bitmask contained in the addressed data packet such that, if the test is failed, then the addressed data packet is discarded.

Abstract: A vehicle power distribution module may include a panel having a plurality of input terminals, a first plurality of output terminals, and a second plurality of output terminals. The first plurality of input terminals may be connected to a first power supply having a first voltage and to a second power supply having a second voltage and wherein the first voltage may be different than the second voltage.

Abstract: A motor coach comprises a front door, a front stairwell, an upper aisleway, upper seats, a side door and a mobility impaired area. The front stairwell leads from the front door. The upper aisleway leads from the front stairwell. The upper aisleway is generally at the level of the top of the upper stairwell. The upper seats are along the upper aisleway. The side door may be lower than or at the same height as the front door, and leads to the mobility impaired area, which is inside and generally at the level of the bottom of the side door. The upper aisleway, upper seats, and mobility impaired area are all together in one unified passenger compartment while separated by differences of location of doors for loading and heights of floors. Numerous advantages flow, including but not limited to the following: loading and unloading times for mobility impaired passengers are substantially improved, especially as compared to typical high floor, wheelchair lift equipped coaches.

Abstract: An adjustable system for forming a cushioning pad of a customized size, using a flexible material, includes a handle grip, a first extended portion attached to and extending away from the handle grip, a second extended portion slidably attached to the first extended portion and extending in parallel to the first extended portion, and a locking mechanism for locking the second extended portion in a fixed position relative to the first extended portion such that a separation between a first edge of the first extended portion and a second edge of the second extended portion is adjustable to the customize size. The first and second extended portions are configured for accommodating the flexible material to be wrapped a plurality of times around the first and second extended portions to form the cushioning pad having the customized size.

Abstract: The method is for producing a bus using a cutaway van chassis, the bus being of the type having a sliding passenger door and the chassis being of the type having a passenger door frame including a horizontal rail, an A-pillar extending to the rail and a B pillar extending to the rail, the A-pillar being adapted to receive a swinging door. In the method, the B-pillar and the rail are removed to produce a modified chassis and the remainder of the bus is constructed about the modified chassis.
