  • Patent number: 12241399
    Abstract: Described herein is a process for increasing mass flow of an exhaust gas through a catalytic converter system for a vehicle. The process may comprise determining a centerline and corresponding cumulative centerline bend angle of a first catalytic converter system spanning from an inlet point at a first end of the catalytic converter systems exhaust pipe to an outlet point at a second end of the catalytic converter systems extension pipe. Once determined, the cumulative centerline bend angle may be increased by increasing an individual bend radius of at least one bend within the exhaust pipe and/or within the extension pipe.

  • Publication number: 20240062346
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that detect surfaces and reflections in such surfaces. Some implementations involve providing a CGR environment that includes virtual content that replaces the appearance of a user or the user's device in a mirror or other surface providing a reflection. For example, a CGR environment may be modified to include a reflection of the user that does not include the device that the user is holding or wearing. In another example, the CGR environment is modified so that virtual content, such as a newer version of the electronic device or a virtual wand, replaces the electronic device in the reflection. In another example, the CGR environment is modified so that virtual content, such as a user avatar, replaces the user in the reflection.

  • Patent number: 10411482
    Abstract: A system for discharging the electric charge stored in a traction battery of an electric vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle. The system comprising a traction battery having a plurality cells, a battery management system for balancing or regulating the electric charge stored in each of the battery cells. A sensor for detecting a vehicle event is provided on the vehicle. The battery management system, upon receiving a signal indicative that a vehicle event has occurred, initiates a discharge cycle of the electrical energy stored in one or more of the cells of the battery via an energy dissipation device such as a battery regulator or battery balancer.

  • Patent number: 10366136
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for manipulating objects in a framework software application that embeds another software application that does not natively support object manipulation controls of the framework software application. To overcome this difficulty, a user interface of the embedded software application is provided in an embedded window disposed within a framework window. Moreover, the user interface of the framework software application is provided in the framework window. Next, a transparent interface element, configured to detect events generated by the object manipulation controls of the framework software application, is generated, and is positioned over the embedded window.

  • Patent number: 10040361
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a motor vehicle (1) having an electric drive system including an electric traction motor (11) and an energy storage device (13). The vehicle (1) also has an adjustable-height suspension (7) to allow the height (h) of the vehicle (1) to be adjusted. A monitor (21) is provided for monitoring charging of the energy storage device (13) from an external electrical supply. A control unit (27) is provided for adjusting the height of the suspension (7) in dependence on the monitor (21). Aspects of the present invention also relate to a charging indicator system (3); and a method of indicating the charging status of a vehicle energy storage device (13).
