  • Patent number: 12533921
    Abstract: A vehicle suspension system includes left and right control arm assemblies each having a wheel mount structure, an upper control arm, and a lower control arm. Each control arm includes a first end configured to be pivotably connected to a frame structure of a vehicle and a second end rotatably connected to the wheel mount structure. The vehicle suspension system also includes a transverse leaf spring having an elongated body extending between the control arm assemblies, outer mounting brackets respectively connecting left and right ends of the elongated body to the left and right control arm assemblies, and one or more inner mounting brackets located between the outer mounting brackets. The transverse leaf spring is contoured such that a contoured portion of the elongated body deviates in a downward direction in order to extend below an electric drive system disposed within an internal space between rails of the frame structure.

  • Publication number: 20250157284
    Abstract: A system and method(s) to perform operations that include aggregating gaming data associated with a casino network; training, via exploratory data analysis of the aggregated gaming data, a set of developed machine learning models that most accurately predict a target variable output. The operations further include predicting, using a deployed one of the developed machine learning models to analyze user-specific gaming data associated with a specific user account, a user-specific output value. The operations further include determining, via the deployed machine learning model using the user-specific output value, user-specific system-based content to present via a presentation device associated with a location of the specific user account (e.g., via a player interface device that the user account is logged into, via a personal mobile device associated with a user of the user account, etc.). The operations further include presenting (e.g., rendering, animating, etc.

  • Patent number: 11841081
    Abstract: A park lock for an output drive gear includes a pawl, a rotational cam, and a rotational spring. The pawl has an engagement protrusion that extends outward from a body disposed on a pawl rotational shaft, such that rotation moves the engagement protrusion toward the output drive gear. The rotational cam rotates such that a circumferential side engages with a portion of the pawl opposite the engagement protrusion, causing rotation of the pawl about the rotational pawl shaft to move the engagement protrusion towards the output drive gear. The rotational spring maintains tension on the pawl and cam such that the engagement protrusion maintains an engagement with the output drive gear based on rotation of the cam and a speed of the output drive gear.
