Abstract: A vehicle includes a powertrain having an electric machine and a controller. The controller is programmed to, responsive to an accelerator pedal position exceeding a first threshold for a predetermined time period or a lateral acceleration of the vehicle being greater than a second threshold, transition the powertrain from a nominal driving mode to a performance driving mode. The controller is also programmed to, responsive to an increase in a steering wheel angle while in the nominal mode, maintain a power output of the electric machine at a driver demanded power defined by the accelerator pedal position. The controller is further programmed to, responsive to an increase in a steering wheel angle while in the performance driving mode, reduce a power output of the electric machine to less than the driver demanded power.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an ultrasonic surgical handpiece assembly comprising a surgical handpiece for use with an irrigation sleeve and ultrasonic tip. The surgical handpiece may comprise a piezoelectric transducer disposed within a housing and configured to manipulate the ultrasonic tip. One or more lumens and/or a flex circuit including an antenna may be disposed within the surgical handpiece housing. The lumen(s) may be configured to provide irrigation and/or aspiration to the irrigation sleeve and/or ultrasonic tip. The irrigation sleeve may comprise a second antenna configured to communicate with the ultrasonic handpiece antenna. The irrigation sleeve may further comprise and an alignment and/or coupling feature configured to removably secure the irrigation sleeve to the housing and orient the second antenna relative to the ultrasonic handpiece antenna. The irrigation sleeve may further comprise a lumen for supplying irrigation and/or aspiration to the ultrasonic tip.
