Abstract: A vehicle system that communicates temperature information of a high voltage battery system of an electrified vehicle includes at least one temperature sensor, a controller, and a human machine interface (HMI). The at least one temperature sensor is disposed on at least one battery module of the high voltage battery system. The at least one temperature sensor is configured to sense a temperature of the at least one battery module. The controller receives the sensed temperature and determines a temperature profile of the high voltage battery system. The HMI is configured to convey temperature information of the high voltage battery system, wherein the controller communicates a signal to the HMI indicative of the temperature profile.

Abstract: A security monitoring system and device comprising a turret apparatus or device configured for embedded placement into a position below the ground surface near a location or a perimeter of a location the device or system of the device is intended to monitor. The singular device is most generally provided in an assembly that can be considered modular, wherein the device is provided in a complete assembly that can be placed into a ground surface or structure for monitoring an area surrounding the device. Accordingly, the device comprises a silo defining an interior space, a movable platform and actuator, a camera, an actuator, a defense mechanism, a shielded dome, and a control system.

Abstract: An example system for mitigating motion sickness within a vehicle is provided. The system includes a motion sickness mitigation device (MSMD) integrated into the vehicle and configured to generate electrical stimulation pulses upon actuation. The system also includes a controller operatively connected to the MSMD. The controller is configured to: obtain signals indicative of a potential motion sickness condition; determine whether a motion sickness conditions exists based on the signals; and, in response to determining that a motion sickness condition exists, actuate the MSMD.

Abstract: The present invention is a stay for retaining cables or other long, flexible structures in a coiled or bundled condition. The stay retains an end of the cable in an shape in which the end is wrapped around the coil or bundle when desired, such that a user of the cable can wrap the end of the cable around the coil or bundle and have the end retained in such position without having to knot the end to keep it wrapped around the cable or bundle. The stay may use a ductile or malleable element oriented along an end of the cable, such that the cable end to which the stay is affixed may be bent into a position in which the end is wrapped around a cable coil or bundle. The stay may use a helical form such that an end of a cable forms a helical shape, such that helical shape may be wrapped around a cable coil or bundle to retain the end around the coil or bundle.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device for bundling cables, ropes, wires, or other long flexible materials that are desired to be bundled. The device comprises an arcuate strap for encircling bundled cables. The strap is preferably discontinuous, with first and second ends forming a mouth into a central cavity formed by an arcuate strap. Finger grips are located adjacent to the first and second ends, allowing fingers of a user to be used to pull the first and second ends of the strap to open the normally closed mouth of the device. The device also preferably includes engagement features on the first and second ends to allow the first and second ends to be forced into engagement to lock cables into the cavity formed by the arcuate shape of the strap.
