  • Method and system for controlling the speed of a vehicle
    Patent number: 11703884
    Abstract: A system for regulating the speed of a vehicle includes defining a first border for a first geographic region. The border has a first speed within the border and a second speed outside of the border. The system includes determining a first velocity of the vehicle including a vehicle speed and direction of the vehicle approaching the border. The difference between the vehicle speed and the second speed is the calculated, as is a distance between the vehicle and the border. If the difference between the vehicle speed and the second speed divided by the distance is greater than a predetermined value, the vehicle is decelerated at a rate so that the vehicle will have a second speed when the vehicle reaches the border.

  • PUMP DRIVE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20220220950
    Abstract: A drive system for a fluid displacement pump includes an electric motor, a drive coupled to the rotor at a first end of the electric motor, a pump including a fluid displacement member mechanically coupled to the drive, and a controller configured to control a level of power to the electric motor based on a pressure setting set by a user. The electric motor includes a stator and a rotor disposed on an axis. The drive coupled to the rotor converts the rotational output to a linear, reciprocating input to power a pump.
