Abstract: An integrated, unitary battery pack may be formed and used as part of the structural support for a vehicle frame. The unitary battery pack includes arrays cells having all positive and negative electrical terminals aligned in-plane on a common face of the product assembly. The unitary battery pack includes cooling components for passively or actively cooling the cell arrays. The unitary battery pack is encased in a potting material that allows that forms part of the structure support for the unitary battery pack. The unitary batter pack may be integrated into the vehicle with or without additional support structures.

Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to systems and methods for controlling autonomous forklifts, and specifically, controlling autonomous forklifts based on monitoring of a loading dock. The present invention utilizes monitoring of a loading dock for human personnel and obstacles in order to safely maneuver an autonomous forklift during loading and unloading operations into and out of a trailer.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for managing fuel stocks of at least one gas station including a fuel tank. The method includes, for each gas station, calculating an expected stock-out time, including predicting forecast fuel sales from a current starting date, determining a current net available stock based on a fuel stock in the fuel tank, based on the net available stock and the forecast fuel sales, calculating the expected stock-out time as the date at which the cumulated forecast fuel sales, from the current starting date, exceed the net available stock. The method also includes, for each gas station, predicting a lead duration, as a duration between a generation of a fuel purchase order and a corresponding fuel delivery at said gas station; and, for each gas station, generating a supply instruction based on the calculated expected stock-out time and the corresponding predicted lead duration.

Abstract: A level detection apparatus includes a wave guide or discrete sensors mounted in an outer flexible housing. A weight is attached to a distal end of the outer housing. A biasing spring is coupled to the opposite end of the outer housing for exerting a force on the outer housing to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the outer housing to maintain the weight in close proximity to the bottom surface of an enclosure in which the apparatus is mounted.
