Abstract: The object of the invention is a skeletal method utilizing electromagnetic waves to be utilized at least in one of skeletal actuation, skeletal detection and skeletal therapy. In the method is performed at least one of first and second method steps, where in the first method step is generated by means of electromagnetic waves at least one mechanical wave in at least one generation location into the skeleton through soft tissue. In the second method step is detected by means of electromagnetic waves skeletal vibrations due to at least one mechanical wave, is recorded the detected at least one mechanical wave in at least one recording location to form mechanical wave information, and distance of said at least one recording location from said at least one generation location is known, and further in the second method step is determined skeletal properties based on at least one recorded signal.

Abstract: A number of variations may include an electric cycle powertrain having a first planetary gear set and a second planetary gear set, wherein the second planetary gear set is constructed and arranged to selectively overdrive a pedal cadence and wherein the first planetary gear set is constructed and arranged to selectively provide additional gear ratio for a motor.

Abstract: One variation may include a product comprising: an integrated electric bicycle motor comprising: an inrunner ring motor, a rotor mount coupled to the inside of the inrunner ring motor, and at least one battery assembly coupled to the rotor mount.

Abstract: A number of variations may include a container handling system for an automotive vehicle having a generally horizontal cargo bed area including a container for holding cargo. The container may have an alignment surface. A power unit for imparting vertical and horizontal movement to the container may also be provided. The power unit may be connected on the vehicle. A latching mechanism connecting the power unit with the container may be provided. A guide structure connected on the vehicle may guide vertical and horizontal movement of the container by interacting with the container alignment surface.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a pair of opposing-hinged doors having a first door and a second door. The first door includes a first edge and a second edge, and is moveable between a closed position, an intermediate position and an open position. The vehicle includes a slideable hinge assembly that moves laterally relative to a longitudinal axis of a body of the vehicle to move the second edge of the first door laterally away from the body and move the first edge parallel with the longitudinal axis and away from the second door when the first door moves from the closed position into the intermediate position. Once in the intermediate position, the first door is free to swing into the open position independently of the second door.
