Abstract: A refuse vehicle has a Commercial and a Residential Mode whereby when in Commercial Mode, stops or fins, utilized in Residential Mode to assist in securing a residential container laterally at the front of the vehicle, are adjustable to prevent contact or interference with the cab protector or other portions of the vehicle when in Commercial Mode. The fins may be located and/or rotated, such as at least 30 degrees (from position to position) or above a horizontal or otherwise intermediate the residential and commercial configurations. The fins may preferably be located above a bottom of the crossbar when moving through the dumping cycle so as not to contact the cab protector in Commercial Mode. Preferably, the fins may also be housed on the residential refuse container rather than along the crossbar.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a fan and a controller configured for controlling the fan to operate in a first mode limiting rotational speed of the fan within a first range of speeds between a first minimum speed and a first maximum speed. The controller is further configured to control the fan to operate in a second mode limiting rotational speed of the fan within a second range of speeds between a second minimum speed and a second maximum speed. The second range of speeds may be narrower than the first range of speeds. Related methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for controlling the position of a vehicle seat is disclosed. The system includes a component position detection device, a seat and component adjustment controller and at least one controllable actuator in network communication. The measured value of the absence of a seat operator is communicated to the seat and component adjustment controller as is the current value of at least one of the fore-aft position or height position of the seat. The seat and component adjustment controller compares the measured value of the absence of a seat operator to a set value to determine if an operator is present. If an operator is not present based on this comparison, the seat and position controller calculates a movement factor value wherein the movement factor value determines the communication between the seat and component adjustment controller and the at least one controllable actuator.

Abstract: A method for forming a planarization layer is provided that can include depositing an organic planarization layer on a deposition surface using a spin on deposition method; and treating the deposited organic planarization layer with a solvent anneal. In some embodiments, a vapor of solvent is passed over the deposited organic planarization layer to increase uniformity of the deposited organic planarization layer. The method may further include curing the deposited organic planarization layer with a thermal anneal.

Abstract: A fan for generating germicidal light is disclosed, which may be adapted to mount to a ceiling. The fan includes a hub connected to a plurality of fan blades. A motor is adapted to rotate the hub. A support is adapted to support the hub and motor from the ceiling. A lighting module may include a tray adapted to receive the support, the tray including one or more lights for providing ultraviolet germicidal light. The light may be provided by LEDs on a circuit board adapted for positioning around the support without dismounting the support from the ceiling, such as one comprised of wedge-shaped segments. The modular circuit board may form part of an uplight module supported by a housing for the motor.

Abstract: A computerized system and method for user interface management provides an augmented reality-based experience that delivers real-time visual cues to a cognitively impaired person, that monitors visual recognition performance, and that provides visual recognition training based on observed visual recognition performance. The system uses image/facial recognition to identify persons/places/objects encountered by a person/dementia sufferer and captured by a camera of a computing device, retrieves information associated with identified person/place/object, and displays retrieved information associated with identified person/place/object to the person/dementia sufferer via the device, e.g., in an augmented reality overlay to an image captured by the camera. The information may identify the identified person's relationship with dementia sufferer and other pertinent details. Accordingly, for example, a person with cognitive impairment can quickly assess who is approaching them, based on facial recognition.

Abstract: A refuse collection vehicle having a packer system, a hopper, and a storage compartment. A wall between the storage compartment and the hopper defines an opening that allows refuse to pass from the hopper to the storage compartment. The packer system includes an auger screw and a driver. The driver rotates the auger screw such that refuse is packed into the storage compartment through the opening. A door can be positioned to cover the opening in the wall to inhibit refuse from passing back through the opening. A door actuator system moves the door to selectively open and close the door on the opening. A packing actuator can push an ejector panel across the floor of the storage compartment while the door is closed on the opening in the wall to further compact refuse in the storage compartment or to eject refuse from the vehicle.

Abstract: A refuse collection vehicle includes a packer system with an auger screw, one or more refuse support panels, one or more sensing devices, and a refuse support panel actuator system. The refuse support panel(s) support refuse while characteristics of the refuse are sensed. The refuse support panel actuator system moves the refuse support panels such that refuse is released from the refuse support panels in to the packer system. A driver of the packer system rotates the auger screw such the refuse is packed into a storage compartment of the vehicle.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle body includes a tailgate coupled to the body. The tailgate is movable between closed and open positions.
