Patent number: 11919487Abstract: Systems, devices, system-implemented methods, computer-implemented methods and/or computer program products are provided that can facilitate movement and/or cleaning of a sensor lens of a sensor system for a vehicle body. In one embodiment, the sensor system can comprise a sensor lens having a retractable portion that is moveable at least partially into and out of a chamber. The sensor system also can comprise a cleaning assembly configured to clean the retractable portion disposed within the chamber and at least partially separated from airflow exterior to the chamber. According to another embodiment, a sensor system for a vehicle body can comprise a moveable sensor lens, a cover, and a cleaning assembly configured to clean the sensor lens at least partially concealed by the cover from an environment about the vehicle body.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: VOLVO CAR CORPORATIONInventors: Geoffrey Davidson, Per Nordenström

Publication number: 20080160504Abstract: A method of assessing the state of the lining of the small intestine in a mammal or human injesting a suitable labelled test substrate which requires conversion by a brush border enzyme for transport across the small intestinal lining. Suitable substrates include sucrose and maltose. The transport of these can very conveniently be measured by assessing the amount of label present in carbon dioxide expelled in the breath after a period of time. It has been shown that this method has application to assessing damage cause by chemotherapeutic induced mucositis as well as gastroenteritis with an infectious cause.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2008Publication date: July 3, 2008Applicant: Children, Youth and Women's Health Service IncorporatedInventors: ROSS BUTLER, David Tivey, Geoffrey Davidson, Nicole Pelton

Patent number: 6820900Abstract: The invention relates to a rear axle arrangement for a heavy vehicle, e.g. a freight vehicle. The vehicle incorporates a number of wheels which bear the vehicle and an elongate chassis element which extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The rear axle arrangement incorporates at least one separate rear axle unit which includes a loadbearing frame structure and two of said wheels. The frame structure extends between a first end region and a second end region in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and the first end region of the frame structure is designed to be connected to the elongate chassis element. In addition, the two wheels are suspended on the frame structure.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2002Date of Patent: November 23, 2004Assignee: Scania CV AB (PUBL)Inventors: Ake Bergstrom, Pär Wallin, Michael Linden, Fredrik Modahl, Anders Gustavsson, Geoffrey Davidson

Patent number: 6736232Abstract: The invention relates to a front axle arrangement for a heavy vehicle, e.g. a freight vehicle. The vehicle incorporates a number of wheels (42, 43) which bear the vehicle, and an engine unit (20) for the vehicle's propulsion and a longitudinal chassis element (6) which extends along the vehicle's longitudinal axis in the normal direction of forward movement of the vehicle. The front axle arrangement forms a separate front axle unit (11) incorporating a frame structure (12-15) which is intended to be connected to the longitudinal chassis element, and two of said wheels which are suspended in the frame structure. The front axle unit (11) is intended to bear the engine unit (20) in such a way that the latter extends in through a central aperture of the frame structure (12-15) and can at least partially be extracted from the front axle unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2002Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Scania CV AB (Publ)Inventors: Ake Bergstrom, Pär Wallin, Michael Linden, Fredrik Modahl, Anders Gustavsson, Geoffrey Davidson
