  • Publication number: 20210339712
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for heat sanitizing a vehicle. In one example, a method may include, responsive to receiving a request for sanitization of a vehicle interior, operating a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system to heat the vehicle interior above an upper threshold temperature for a threshold duration. In this way, the HVAC system may be advantageously used to expose the vehicle interior to temperatures that kill or inactive microbes.

  • Publication number: 20210323102
    Abstract: A tool less method of connecting a welding-type power source with a cart is disclosed. In some examples, the cart may be configured to carry one or more gas bottles (and/or cylinders). In some examples, the power source housing and the cart may connect at interfacing ends and/or walls of the housing and cart. A connector, such as a clip for example, may span the interface to connect the power source housing and the cart. Catches (e.g. slots, holes, crevices, and/or protrusions) may be formed in and/or on the power supply housing and/or cart proximate to the interfacing ends and/or walls. In some examples, the catches may be aligned. In some examples, the cart and/or power source housing may include alignment surfaces to assist with alignment. The connector may engage the aligned catches to connect the welding-type power source and cart together at the interface.

  • Publication number: 20210245756
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for improving fuel economy and reducing undesired emissions. In one example, a method may include in response to an engine speed being within a first threshold speed of an engine idle speed during a speed reduction request with engine cylinders unfueled, maintaining the cylinders unfueled, and controlling the engine to a desired stopping position responsive to the engine speed being greater than a second threshold speed lower than the idle speed. In this way, fuel usage and emissions may be reduced and engine restart requests may be conducted at least in part via vehicle inertia.

  • Publication number: 20210218649
    Abstract: A network security monitoring and correlation system for providing a three-dimensional visualization of network traffic overlaid with security alerts and other relevant discrete data. The system may comprise an application server communicably linked to a client. The server functions to retrieve network traffic metadata and relevant discrete data associated with individual computer hosts and connections in the monitored network, process the network traffic data by building a graph data structure, and then embedding within the graph data structure one or more layers of additional information about the individual computer hosts and connections derived from the discrete data. The client functions to produce a three-dimensional visualization of the network environment by parsing the graph data structure received from the server and then spawning computer hosts and connections in the 3-D environment.

  • Patent number: 10995470
    Abstract: A service pin assembly for a machine includes a service pin and a tray for retaining the service pin. The tray is attachable to a frame of the machine, and is pivotable relative to the frame between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the tray facilitates a storage of the service pin with the machine. In the second position, the tray facilitates an engagement of the service pin with a lift arm of the machine and the frame to restrict a relative movement between the frame and the lift arm.
