Abstract: A vehicle air vent system includes a duct defining an outlet that directs air into an interior compartment. An air register assembly is operably coupled to the duct proximate to the outlet. The air register assembly includes a frame. A vane is rotatably coupled to the frame. A variable resistor is operably coupled to the frame. A user interface has a display. A controller is communicatively coupled to the user interface and the variable resistor. The controller receives a signal from the variable resistor and determines a position of the air register assembly in response to the signal.

Abstract: A vehicle air vent system includes a dashboard defining an air vent opening. An air register assembly is disposed within the air vent opening of the dashboard. The air register assembly includes a frame and a vane rotatably coupled to the frame. An imager is coupled to the dashboard. The imager captures data within a field of view. A controller is communicatively coupled to the imager and the air register assembly. The controller receives the data from the imager. The controller determines a position of an object within the field of view in response to the data.

Abstract: Package sorting systems and methods of use are disclosed herein. An example system includes a platform of a vehicle, where the platform is arranged as a grid having a plurality of slots (including an open slot and a target slot). A plurality of slabs can be placed into the grid except for in the open slot. A slab moving assembly is used to move the slabs in order to place a selected slab into the target slot on the platform.

Abstract: Process for enriching microalgal biomass, in particular of the genus Nannochloropsis, with different polyunsaturated fatty acids, primarily docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n-3, DHA), using oils that are rich in these fatty acids. The process comprises the following steps: Preparing a solution or an emulsion of lipids+emulsifying agent (BSA), Preparing the biomass concentrate to obtain a final concentration of mg/ml or greater, Enriching the biomass concentrate by adding the lipids or the emulsion thereof to the microalgal concentrate, Allowing the mixture to rest under constant stirring for at least 24 hours under lighting conditions. The process allows for the simultaneous enrichment of microalgal biomass of the genus Nannochloropsis with eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5 n-3) (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n-3) (DHA), to obtain a minimum EPA:DHA weight ratio of 10:1, with an EPA content of at least 10% of the total fatty acid content.

Abstract: A vehicle load floor includes a seatback pivotal to a stowed position. A cargo floor is rearward the seatback. A foldable panel assembly is movable between stored and deployed positions. The foldable panel assembly includes a first panel pivotally coupled with the seatback and a second panel coupled with the first panel. A hinge coupled between bottom surfaces of the first and second panels. The deployed position includes the seatback in the stowed position and top surfaces of the first and second panels defining a planar support surface spanning to the cargo floor.
