  • Patent number: 11680872
    Abstract: A stator angle is determined to correct a value measured by a wheel force transducer. A mounting bracket is rigidly attached to a vehicle and supports a housing within which a rotary encoder is mounted. A stator rod retainer is aligned with a rotational axis of the rotary encoder and has a through-bore extending perpendicular to the rotational axis. The stator rod retainer rotates relative to a stationary portion of the rotary encoder using at least one bearing, and the stator rod retainer supports a first end of a stator rod for substantially free movement through the through-bore. A controller determines, when the second end of the stator rod is fixedly attached to an encoder stator attached to a wheel, a stator angle of the stator rod used for adjusting at least one value associated with the wheel that is measured using the encoder stator.

  • Publication number: 20210176970
    Abstract: An animal feeding system having a plurality of network connectable feeding stations, each with a base with a weight sensor for measuring a quantity of animal food placed in a food container, a processor, and network connection circuitry for connecting to a computer network. A server having a processor is coupled to a database to store pet information and use AI to analyze food and water consumption and recommend new foods or issue health alerts based on the consumption data. The server is configured for communication to feeding system bases and network connectable devices, such as smart phones, having executable food management software, wherein animal food intake information is transmitted to the server; and executable artificial intelligence loaded into and running on the server receives and processes data from the feeding stations and analyzes the data to make predictions and recommendations for foods individual animals prefer.
