Abstract: A retractable console system for a vehicle, which may include: a control console; a linkage coupled to the control console; an actuator coupled to the linkage, the actuator may: lock the linkage and the control console coupled thereto in an operational position; and upon detection of an emergency, abruptly unlock and cause the linkage and the console coupled thereto to move from the operational position to a non-operational emergency position by releasing energy.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and networks for controlling design and manufacture of mechanically and electrically compliant VCM-based vehicles, in which a user manually and explicitly defines at least one vehicle characteristic and at least one VCM characteristic. User selection of one or more vehicle characteristics ensures that the selection of VCM characteristics will be that of VCM characteristics compatible with the selected vehicle characteristics. Similarly, user selection of one or more VCMs or VCM characteristics ensures that the selection of vehicle characteristics will be that of vehicle characteristics compatible with the selected VCM or VCM characteristics.

Abstract: A method for dynamically storing files/data, comprising: a) acquiring the file/data by an initial random Virtual Machine (r VM); b) shredding the file/data to a plurality of segments; c) wrapping, in a standalone state, each of the remaining segments with a unique code comprised of at least one or more destination storage locations, a pointer to a following segment in the file/data, and a timer; d) autonomously and independently roaming each segment to the destination storage location appearing in its unique code; and e) periodically, according to the timer, continuously roaming segments between storage locations until receiving a request for retrieving of the dynamically stored file/data.

Abstract: A wheel comprises a rim, a hub and a suspension unit. The wheel incorporates or is connectable to a torque source capable of producing torques up to a maximal torque for rotating the wheel around a rotation-axis. In this invention, the suspension unit includes at least one structural member, provided at least partially between the rim and the hub, configured to change in size and/or shape, relative to a nominal size and/or shape thereof, during displacements and/or rotations of the hub relative to a center point of the rim. The suspension unit also includes at least one motion resisting component adapted to retain the structural member at the nominal size and/or shape thereof under torques smaller than the maximal torque.
