Abstract: A method for keyless dual power system control for an electric motor vehicle is provided. The electric motor vehicle including a powertrain electronic control unit (ECU) and an infotainment system that are independently powered. The method includes receiving a user authentication from a wireless device to authenticate a user, receiving a driver's door status from a door sensor, receiving a driver presence signal from a seat pressure sensor, and determining whether the driver's door status from the door sensor indicates the driver's door is in an open status. The method also includes controlling the infotainment system to be in an on status and controlling the powertrain ECU to be in an off status upon receiving the user authentication, determining the driver's door is in the open status, and receiving the driver presence signal.

Abstract: According to one or more aspects, a dual controller area network (CAN) is used to start a vehicle. A dual CAN bus network includes a first CAN (CAN1) bus and a second CAN (CAN2) bus. A transmission control unit (TCU) is in communication with an engine control unit (ECU) via the dual CAN bus network. The ECU controls actuation of a starter motor based on signals from the CAN1 bus and signals from the CAN2 bus sent by the TCU. Actuation of the starter motor places an engine of the vehicle in a starting mode.

Abstract: An integrated wind and hydro power generation system includes at least one wind turbine generator device configured to generate output power from a common cavity being occupied by water and air. The hydro generator device is powered by water flow, while the wind generator is primarily powered by the vacuum occurring with the water's exit from the cavity.

Abstract: A towing device for towing a motorcycle comprising a base having a first end that slides horizontally into a receiver hitch of the vehicle; a platform extending outwardly from a second end of the base; an arc-shaped cradle for cradling a front wheel of the motorcycle; the cradle is divided into a front portion attached atop the platform and a ramp pivotally attached to the front portion of the cradle via a hinge, the ramp'can pivot to an up position and a down position, wherein the down position allows the front wheel of the motorcycle to be rolled into the front portion of the cradle, the ramp can be secured in the up position via a securing means; and a side support component extending upwardly from the platform, the side support component functions to support the front wheel of the motorcycle when in the cradle.

Abstract: A hydroconversion catalyst composition includes a catalytically active matrix having a surface area of between about 50 m.sup.2 /g to about 290 m.sup.2 /g, a silicious molecular sieve support medium distributed through the matrix and having a surface area of between about 250 m.sup.2 /g to about 1200 m.sup.2 /g and a catalytically active phase supported on the support medium and including a first metal selected from group IIIA of the periodic table of elements and a second metal selected from group VIB of the periodic table of elements. The matrix preferably further includes aluminum, gallium, cobalt, molybdenum, and phosphorus.
