  • Publication number: 20210202921
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide modular battery assemblies for micro-mobility fleet vehicles. A modular battery assembly for a micro-mobility fleet vehicle includes a battery assembly enclosure including an assembly retention interface configured to physically secure the assembly enclosure to a subframe assembly of the micro-mobility fleet vehicle, a battery cell assembly disposed within the battery assembly enclosure, and an enclosure lid mounted to the assembly enclosure. The modular battery assembly may include an arched floorboard panel configured to provide a floor board surface for the micro-mobility fleet vehicle. The battery cell assembly may include a honeycomb battery cell holder and a collector board atop the battery cell holder to provide wire bond interconnects between the battery cells.

  • Publication number: 20210202923
    Abstract: Systems and methods related to securing batteries to micro-mobility transit vehicles are disclosed. For example, a micro-mobility transit vehicle may have a battery compartment and a battery compartment door having a first end and a second end. The battery compartment door may provide a floorboard surface for the micro-mobility transit vehicle where the first end of the battery compartment door is hingedly coupled to the micro-mobility transit vehicle and the second end of the battery compartment door includes at least one pair of prongs extending from the second end and at least one breakaway tab physically coupled to each pair of prongs. The battery compartment door and a battery disposed within the battery compartment may be electromechanically secured to the micro-mobility transit vehicle by engaging locking cams on the breakaway tabs.

  • Patent number: 11003782
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products protect personally identifiable information. Many websites acquire the personally identifiable information without a user's knowledge or permission. Here, though, the user may control what personally identifiable information is shared with any website. For example, the personally identifiable information may be read from a header of a packet and compared to a requirement associated with a domain name.

  • Publication number: 20210114316
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the continuous fabrication of fiber-bundle-based and composite-tape based preforms and preform charges includes a mandrel about which a constituent material, which is maintained under tension, is wound. The tension is insufficient to fully consolidate the wound material.

  • Publication number: 20210086402
    Abstract: Non-standard, resin-infused fiber bundle includes localized regions of fibers having a sub-nominal amount of polymer resin positioned along its length. These regions function as “bending regions,” where the non-standard resin-infused fiber bundle can be readily deformed by virtue of the reduced amount of resin. The bending regions segregate the non-standard resin-infused fiber bundle into what is, effectively, discrete (smaller) segments of (standard) resin-infused fiber bundle. The ability to easily manipulate the non-standard, resin-infused fiber bundle via the bending regions is useful for creating fiber-bundle-based preforms, and preform charges (assemblages of fiber-bundle-based preforms).

  • Patent number: 10660439
    Abstract: A bracket mechanism is configured to facilitate connection of multiple rail elements to form an elongated element to span over a work space and/or to help support a continuous integral element spanning over a work space. The bracket mechanism can be configured to help ensure the rigidity of the elongated element positioned over the work space so that the elongated element does not sag or bow downwards as it extends over the work space.

  • Publication number: 20200110768
    Abstract: An e-commerce voice response determination system is provided and generally includes a server and a customer computing device. The server may determine, based on a user query, a plurality of product descriptions. The server may determine a similarity value between the user query and each of the product descriptions based on the similarity between each word of the user query and each word of the product descriptions. The server may determine the product description with the most similarity to the user query, and provide a response to the customer computing device based on that product description. In some embodiments, the server may determine whether the user query matches a predefined query. If the user query matches the predefined query, the server provides a response to the customer computing device based on a predefined response to the predefined query.
