  • Patent number: 12296899
    Abstract: A steering system includes a steering control, a steering assist assembly, and two anti-rotation arms. The steering assist assembly includes a housing includes two hollow cylinders formed therein. A piston is slidably arranged within the first cylinder and an axial rod is slidably arranged within the second cylinder. First and second tie rods are connected to first and second axial ends of the axial rod. A shaft operably connected to the steering control is configured to engage with the axial rod such that rotation of the shaft causes axial movement of the axial rod. The axial movement of the axial rod causes axial movement of the first and second tie rods so as to turn the wheels of the vehicle. The anti-rotation arms are operably connected to the piston and to the axial rod and are configured to prevent rotation of the piston and the axial rod.

  • Publication number: 20240052879
    Abstract: A system and method for a universal housing. The universal housing has a central void. The system also includes a sleeve sized to be received within the central void. The universal housing can be used to house a ball joint and a uniball interchangeably. This allows the consumer to switch between a ball joint or a uniball joint without replacing the support arm. This aids in flexibility and versatility as well as decreases the product and labor costs associated with changing from one type to another.

  • Patent number: 10781684
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are described herein for automating toolface control of a drilling rig. Such apparatuses, methods, and systems may change operating parameters of the drilling rig responsive to detected toolface orientations. Thus, if a toolface orientation of the drilling tool is determined to be outside an advisory sector, updated operating parameters may be determined and provided to the drilling tool. The updated operating parameters may change at least one of a clockwise rotation target or counterclockwise rotation target of the drilling tool.

  • Publication number: 20150052538
    Abstract: Software development tools and techniques for configuring parallel processing systems to execute software modules implementing processes for solving complex problems, including over-the-counter trading processes and foreign exchange trading processes, to execute quickly and efficiently. The parallel processing system may include low-cost, consumer-grade multicore processing units. A process for solving a complex problem may be divided into software modules, including by evaluating the process to determine discrete processing steps that produce an intermediate result on which later steps of the process depend. The software modules created for a process may form a template processing chain describing multiple processing chains of the process that are to be executed.
