Abstract: Methods and apparatus to adjust vehicle suspension damping are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes interface circuitry, machine readable instructions, and programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to determine a terrain condition based on first wheel position data of a vehicle and second wheel position data of the vehicle, determine a damping command based on the terrain condition, and adjust a suspension of the vehicle based on the damping command.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to adjust vehicle suspension damping are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes memory and at least one processor to execute computer readable instructions to obtain wheel position information and vehicle speed information from sensors associated with wheels of a vehicle, the wheel position information including first wheel position data and second wheel position data, determine a terrain condition based on a greater of the first wheel position data and the second wheel position data, determine a compression damping command based on the terrain condition and the vehicle speed information, and adjust a damping system of the vehicle based on the compression damping command.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for limiting a load applied to a rotatable shaft joint. An example apparatus comprises a comparator to, based on at least one of an angle of a rotatable shaft joint or a torque applied to the joint, determine whether at least one of the torque or the angle exceeds a threshold, and a limiter to limit at least one of the angle or the torque when at least one of the torque or the angle exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: Magnetorheological-damper-based steering apparatus and methods for reducing steering wheel jerk resulting from off-road wheel impact are described. An example steering damper apparatus includes a magnetorheological (MR) rotary damper to be operatively coupled to a steering column shaft. The example steering damper apparatus further includes a sensor to detect an angular velocity associated with the steering column shaft. The example steering damper apparatus further includes a controller to energize the MR rotary damper in response to determining that the angular velocity exceeds an angular velocity threshold. The angular velocity threshold is associated with steering wheel jerk resulting from an off-road wheel impact.

Abstract: A semicircular vehicle battery having a battery housing defined by a curved wall surface enclosed by a top surface and a bottom surface. The curved wall surface further defines an open center area and opposing ends. A first terminal and a second terminal are attached to the battery housing, the first and second terminals providing points of electrical connection to the battery. The battery is arranged to be mounted to a vehicle within a spare tire cavity.
