  • Patent number: 11964718
    Abstract: A joint assembly for a steering tie rod assembly includes a tie rod. The joint assembly also includes a yoke including a first leg and a second leg, wherein each of the first and second legs define a respective hole aligned with each other. The joint assembly further includes a first pin extending through each of the respective holes defined by the first leg and the second leg of the yoke and through a first hole of the tie rod. The joint assembly yet further includes a second pin disposed in a second hole defined by the tie rod and defining a central hole that the first pin extends through.

  • Publication number: 20240116558
    Abstract: A steer-by-wire steering system for a vehicle includes a rack moveable in an axial direction. The steer-by-wire steering system also includes an anti-rotation device disposed proximate an outer surface of the rack. The anti-rotation device includes a yoke having a bearing journal extending therefrom. The anti-rotation device also includes a bearing disposed on the bearing journal. The anti-rotation device further includes a running surface disposed within a rack housing and extending in a longitudinal direction of the rack, wherein the bearing is positioned to move along the running surface during operation.

  • Publication number: 20240067255
    Abstract: A steer-by-wire system for a vehicle includes a rack moveable in an axial direction and defining a groove extending in the axial direction of the rack. The steer-by-wire system also includes a housing surrounding at least a portion of the rack. The steer-by-wire system further includes an anti-rotation device disposed proximate an outer surface of the rack at the mounting location of the rack and within the housing. The anti-rotation device includes a plurality of balls disposed in the groove defined by the rack. The anti-rotation device also includes a running plate having a radially inner surface disposed radially outward of the rack, wherein the plurality of balls are disposed between the plate and the rack.

  • Patent number: 11551390
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating deterministic enhanced digital images based on parallel determinations of pixel group offsets arranged in pixel waves. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a parallel wave analysis to propagate through pixel groups in a pixel wave of a target region within a digital image to determine matching patch offsets for the pixel groups. The disclosed systems can further utilize the matching patch offsets to generate a deterministic enhanced digital image by filling or replacing pixels of the target region with matching pixels indicated by the matching patch offsets.
