Abstract: A modular, radio frequency (“RF”) system includes one or more directional antennas and is configured with both hardware and software components to enable the RF system to monitor (e.g., detect or track signals or objects) and/or interact with (e.g., track signals or objects, or transmit signals) objects in particular directions. The RF system includes one or more machine learning models to determine, based on received signals, one or more signals to transmit.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for tracking and enforcing relationships between items. A relationship interface may be provided that conveys the relationship (or link) between items, and through which a user may define the link between two or more items. Identifying a link between two items may establish a set of one or more rules to be enforced with respect to the use of one or both of the items (e.g., when the items are stored, when the items are used to create other items, when other items are associated with the items). In various embodiments, violations of one or more rules may be identified and provided via the user interface. In some embodiments, new items that conflict with one or more rules may be prevented from being committed.

Abstract: The inventive technology described herein may be present in many different embodiments that include systems and methods for adjustably protecting a spare tire with a rearward-facing camera. In some embodiments, a spare tire protective system may utilize a hollow base, a camera collar, a retaining element such as a faceplate, and a tire cover to easily adjust to varying spare tire sizes and wheel offsets for vehicles that may be equipped with a center or near center-mounted rearview camera. A hollow base and camera collar may slide over a rearview camera stock and partially seat into a wheel center bore. A tire cover may be sandwiched between the hollow base and faceplate. This system may provide improved ease of installation and removal for vehicle models with varying wheel and tire offsets and sizes.

Abstract: A system of coverings for a rear mounted spare tire having a central backup camera such as the Jeep® is provided. The coverings including a hard cover with either a hard rim mount or a sewn on soft rim mount. The soft rim mount can have locking loops for a hidden cable lock. A multi-tiered face is both decorative and designed to protect the camera with a rubber framed window and built in awning. A soft cover option provides a two piece camera shield that is mounted into. The center of the soft cover with screws or the like. The front hood of the camera shield has an awning for the camera that does not obfuscate the view of the camera. Optional ornaments or brake lights can also be mounted onto the camera shield. The camera shield can be used without a tire cover for protection and mounting the ornament or light.

Abstract: A rechargeable battery with elastically compliant housing includes a housing and at least one battery cell. The housing includes a pair of substantially rigid end plates and an elastically compliant structure joining the end plates so that the end plates are oriented in respective planes that are substantially parallel to each other and define a gap there between. Each battery cell is contained in the housing in the gap between the end plates and includes an anode, a cathode, and a separator between the anode and the cathode. The elastically compliant structure joins the end plates and includes an elastic component that exhibits elastic expansion greater than 3% along an axis orthogonal to the planes in which the end plates are oriented.

Abstract: A vehicle rear cargo reminder system having a front door sensor, a rear door sensor, an alerting device and a controller. The front door sensor being configured to detect opening movement and closing movement of a front door. The rear door sensor configured to detect opening movement and closing movement of a rear door. The alerting device is configured to provide an alarm signal. The controller detects a sequence of events via the front door sensor and the rear door sensor. The controller determines whether or not an object might be located beside or on the rear seat of the passenger compartment, and operates the alerting device to provide the alarm signal to the vehicle operator in the absence of detection of conditions of an ignition switch of the vehicle.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell includes an electrode assembly comprising at least one pair of a wound or stacked anode and cathode a housing comprising an insulating soft flexible pouch enclosing the electrode assembly. The electrode assembly and each anode and cathode respectfully have a thickness, width and length measured parallel to a common set of orthogonal axes, wherein (i) the thickness represents the smallest dimension of each anode and cathode but represents the greatest dimension of the full electrode assembly, (ii) the width represents a maximum dimension perpendicular to the thickness, and (iii) an aspect ratio of the width to the thickness of the electrode assembly is less than 1.

Abstract: Electrochemical devices which incorporate cathode materials that include layered crystalline compounds for which a structural modification has been achieved which increases the diffusion rate of multi-valent ions into and out of the cathode materials. Examples in which the layer spacing of the layered electrode materials is modified to have a specific spacing range such that the spacing is optimal for diffusion of magnesium ions are presented. An electrochemical cell comprised of a positive intercalation electrode, a negative metal electrode, and a separator impregnated with a nonaqueous electrolyte solution containing multi-valent ions and arranged between the positive electrode and the negative electrode active material is described.
