Abstract: A modular foundation system is provided which comprises a base structure defining a cabling void, and a raising frame element connected or connectable to an upper portion of the base structure, the raising frame comprising an adapter coupling. An electric-vehicle-charger adapter plate is then provided having a cabling aperture therethrough. The electric-vehicle-charger adapter plate is releasably engagable with the adapter coupling to provide a foundation for an electric vehicle charger once installed. A blanking cover releasably engagable with the adapter covering is also provided, the electric-vehicle charger adapter plate and blanking cover being selectably interchangeable.

Abstract: An automated modular vehicle configuration system and method that comprises a Configuration Management Unit in the vehicle that detects assemblies attached to the vehicle and configures the vehicle's autopilot based on the detected assemblies. Each attached assembly comprises mechanical and electrical components, ports and a memory device that contains identification information and data related to the assembly, such as assembly type, propulsion type, position, flight time, manufacturing date. Users can swap assemblies on the vehicle in order to provide different features to the vehicle. In particular this invention relates to drone vehicles that can be configured with different types of propulsion systems with different performance profiles and equipment such as gimbals, cameras, landing gear, measurement payloads and such. The invention also automatically downloads vehicle configuration parameters and autopilot firmware updates.

Abstract: A method for selecting a print path speed for an image forming device includes identifying a print path status. A print path status may be determined to be empty, operating at a first speed, or operating at a second speed that is faster than the first speed. The print pat speed for a page is then set according to the print path status.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods for determining if a media jam has been detected by a print engine, an input device, or an output device.
