Abstract: Systems and methods for electronic trailed recreational vehicle monitoring and control are provided. Some embodiments comprise determining a state of a trailed recreational vehicle that is coupled to a towing vehicle, and in response to determining that the state of the trailed recreational vehicle is traveling, receiving, via a head unit in the towing vehicle, first user input to control a vehicle system, determine that the vehicle system is not available, access a first operational system that corresponds to the vehicle system, control the first operational system, and provide data related to the first operational system via the head unit. In some embodiments, in response to determining that the state of the trailed recreational vehicle is camping, the method receives second user input to control a second operational system of the trailed recreational vehicle, and controls the second operational system.

Abstract: Embodiments for recreational vehicle asset management are provided. One embodiment of method includes registering a first asset and a second asset, monitoring usage of the first asset and the second asset during a trip of predetermined duration, and predicting, based on the usage that the first asset is likely to experience a status change. Some embodiments include determining a likely time that the first asset is likely to experience the status change, determining, based on the likely time that the first asset is likely to experience the status change whether the first asset will likely experience the status change during the trip and in response to determining that the first asset will likely experience the status change during the trip, altering operation of a recreational vehicle to address the status change.

Abstract: A lithotripter includes a motor operable to produce a rotational motion, a first cam with a first set of teeth, and a second cam with a second set of teeth configured to selectively engage with the first set of teeth. The first cam is coupled to the motor so that the rotational motion produced by the motor produces rotational motion of the first cam, and the selective engagement between the first set of teeth and the second set of teeth converts the rotational motion of the first cam to a linear waveform that is transmitted through the second cam. The motor, the first cam, and the second cam are disposed in a driver housing, and a wave guide shaft is coupled to the second cam. The wave guide shaft transmits the linear waveform to at least one urinary tract stone to break up the at least one urinary tract stone into fragments.

Abstract: An unmanned system for investigating underwater regions utilizes an unmanned mothership and a plurality of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). The mothership transports the UUVs to and from the vicinity of an underwater region, releases the UUVs into the water, and facilitates recovery of the UUVs from the water. Each UUV can traverse an underwater region, generate sonar and image data associated with the underwater region, and transmit the sonar and image data through the water for receipt and re-transmission by the mothership. A docking system mounted partially onboard the mothership and partially onboard each UUV couples each UUV to the mothership and selectively releases each UUV into the underwater region. A guidance system mounted partially onboard the mothership and partially onboard each UUV guides each UUV back to the docking system from positions in the water.
