Abstract: Rotation angle computation modes include a normal mode and a simple mode. In normal mode, a rotation angle of an input shaft is computed based on output signals from first and second magnetic sensors, which are sampled at two sampling timings. In simple mode, the rotation angle of the input shaft is computed based on the output signals from the first and second magnetic sensors, which are sampled at one sampling timing, and an amplitude ratio between the output signals from the magnetic sensors set in advance. After a power supply is turned on, the rotation angle is computed in the simple mode until a condition that the rotation angle of the input shaft can be computed in the normal mode even if the immediately preceding value of the rotation angle of the input shaft is not present is satisfied. Then, the rotation angle is computed in the normal mode.

Each tubular element has an angled end, wherein the angled ends of the first tubular element and the second tubular element are complementary to each other. The trailer hitch assembly may further include at least one guide to assist in aligning the first tubular element with the second tubular element along the angled ends. The trailer hitch assembly may further include an actuator configured to engage both the first tubular element and the second tubular element and to diagonally displace the first tubular element relative to the second tubular element.

Abstract: A tilt and lock apparatus that includes a tilt servomechanism, a spiral torsion spring, a lock wheel, and a lock hook is described herein. The spiral torsion spring is mechanically coupled to the tilt servomechanism and the lock wheel (which includes an opening). When a shaft is positioned through the opening, rotation of the lock wheel is in unison with rotation of the shaft. An external surface of the lock wheel includes one or more grooves. The lock hook includes a head that engages and disengages the grooves. The lock wheel is stationary when the head engages one of the grooves and is rotatable when the head disengages the grooves. The head and the grooves are geometrically aligned when engaged to prevent creation of a force that acts to disengage the head responsive to an applied force acting on the shaft.
