Abstract: A system for addressing failure in an autonomous agent includes a driving subsystem, a control subsystem, a central computing subsystem, and an autonomous vehicle (AV) sensor subsystem. The system can optionally additionally include a power subsystem, a vehicle chassis subsystem, a communication subsystem, a distributed computing and/or processing subsystem, a supplementary sensor subsystem, and/or any other components. A method for addressing failure can include any or all of: detecting and responding to a failure; and operating the vehicle. Additionally or alternatively, the method 200 can include any other processes.

Abstract: An electric machine for a vehicle includes a stator and a rotor, where the rotor is inserted into an interior space of the stator such that the rotor rotates about an axis of rotation during normal operation of the electric machine. The rotor has a receiving area in which a rotor position sensor is received, and the rotor position sensor is configured to supply an output signal to control the electric machine during normal operation of the electric machine, said output signal indicating a rotational position of the rotor.

Abstract: A method for operating a transmission of a vehicle, where the transmission couples a drive machine of the vehicle to a driven wheel of the vehicle and has different rotational speed transmission ratios. The method determines that a special load situation prevails or will prevail at the driven wheel of the vehicle. The method determines a shift time or a shift vehicle position, at which a load on the drive machine is less than or equal to a load threshold value. The method adapts the rotational speed transmission ratio of the transmission for the special load situation at the shift time or at the shift vehicle position.

Abstract: A fluid line treatment kit for a dairy farm milking system having a vacuum subsystem for imparting vacuum within a fluid line is provided. The fluid line treatment kit includes at least one ozone gas source; a conduit associated with each ozone gas source configured to convey ozone gas to within the fluid line at a respective location; and a control system configured to trigger each ozone gas source to produce ozone gas while the vacuum subsystem is actuated. Vacuum imparted by the vacuum subsystem in the fluid line draws ozone gas via the at least one conduit into and through the fluid line.

Abstract: In an internal combustion engine, fuel is delivered from a fuel source through a pressurized fuel line into a first flow conditioner. A return pressure regulator is connected to the pressurized fuel line and bleeds excess fuel pressure back into the fuel source. The first flow conditioner disrupts the flow of the fuel in the fuel line and disperses the fuel molecules. From the first flow conditioner, the fuel travels into a fuel expander which is connected to a source of heat. The fuel is heated in the fuel expander thereby exciting the fuel molecules. From the fuel expander the fuel is directed through a second flow conditioner to further agitate the fuel molecules. A metered amount of fuel is then passed into the internal combustion engine for combustion by the engine. A fuel pressure regulator is connected to the internal combustion engine and maintains a constant fuel pressure in the fuel delivery system.
