Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generation of lower-frequency tactile energy (e.g., vibration) of a vehicle system based on audio signals. In one example, a method may include acquiring an audio signal from an audio system, generating a motor input command, and applying the motor input command to at least a first traction motor and a second traction motor to create a resultant vibrational force.

Abstract: A joist assembly system that is structured for dynamic retrieval of components, dynamic and precise positioning and location of retrieved components, assembly of the components to form a joist, and delivery of the assembled joist. The joist assembly system has a plurality of material handling systems, a plurality of welding systems, and a rigging table system. The material handling systems are structured to load and position the components such as chords and webs onto the rigging table. The rigging table in turn supports the chords or webs. Subsequently, the plurality of welding systems weld the webs to the chords to form the joist.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to alkylation processes. The process involves providing two or more reaction zones disposed in sequence. In at least the first two reaction zones, olefin mixture comprising C3 and C4 olefins is contacted with isoparaffin comprising isobutane in the presence of sulfuric acid solution under effective alkylation conditions to produce a product mixture comprising spent acid solution and alkylate product, wherein the molar ratio of C3 to C4 olefins in the olefin mixture decreases in each subsequent reaction zone. In the process, the sulfuric acid solution present in a reaction zone contains the spent acid solution produced in the immediately preceding reaction zone.
