  • Publication number: 20220024445
    Abstract: A vehicle jump detection method and system for a vehicle includes an electronic control module (ECM), at least one ride height sensor (RHS) in signal communication with the ECM and configured to measure a vertical wheel travel distance from a predetermined point on the vehicle, at least one accelerometer in signal communication with the ECM and configured to measure a vertical acceleration of the vehicle frame, and a vehicle speed sensor in signal communication with the ECM. The ECM is configured to independently determine, based on one or more signals from the at least one RHS, the at least one accelerometer, and the vehicle speed sensor, if (i) wheels of a front axle are in the air, (ii) wheels of a rear axle are in the air, and (iii) if the wheels of both the front and rear axles are in the air.

  • Patent number: 10174988
    Abstract: A mobile refrigeration cabinet that includes a refrigerated section, a non-refrigerated section that has an aperture in a side thereof, and an opening between the refrigerated and non-refrigerated section. The aperture allows access to the non-refrigerated section. The cabinet may include a movable tray disposed in the non-refrigerated section that is movable through the aperture, and a refrigeration system removably mounted on the movable tray. A biasing system is configured to engage the movable tray so as to bias the refrigeration system towards the opening between the refrigerated section and the non-refrigerated section such that a portion of the refrigeration system sealingly engages the opening.

  • Publication number: 20140165542
    Abstract: An emission control device for air intake system includes an extending conduit (400) and an adsorbing element (300) disposed about the conduit, wherein the adsorbing element comprises a substrate and an adsorbent material disposed substantially throughout the substrate. When the conduit includes an indentation portion (403) and an opening (404) located about the indentation portion, the adsorbing element may be disposed on at least a portion of the indention to cover at least a portion of the opening, and the closure element (105) may be used to secure the adsorbing element to the indentation portion. The air intake tube of the air intake system may be designed to include an indentation portion and an opening located about the indentation portion such that an adsorbent sheet with adsorbent material disposed substantially therethrough may wrap around at least a portion of the indentation and cover at least a portion of the opening.

  • Publication number: 20140130765
    Abstract: An air intake emission control device includes a self -forming adsorbing element (200) comprising a front edge (301), a back edge (302), side edges (303) extending between the front and back edges and defining an air intake flow path, and a first locking component (301a) on the front edge, back edge, or both. The device further includes a second locking component (403) configured to engage the first locking component and retain the self-forming adsorbing element in a predetermined structure. The second locking component may be located on the adsorbing element itself such that the adsorbing element is self-formed and self-locked in the predetermined structure. Alternatively, the device may include an end cap (401) and the second locking structure may be located on the end cap. The device may be placed in air intake ductwork, in an extending conduit positioned between the an air intake ductwork and the air outlet ductwork, or both.

  • Publication number: 20120012581
    Abstract: A locking mechanism for locking first and second panels of a carton together includes first and second male tabs hinged along first and second fold lines respectively to the first panel. The male tabs are arranged so as to oppose one another. The mechanism also includes first and second female tabs hinged along third and fourth fold lines respectively to the second panel. The female tabs are arranged so as to oppose one another. The first and second fold lines are substantially perpendicular to the third and fourth fold lines when the first and second panels are disposed in an overlapping relationship. In a locked position, the male tabs are displaced from the plane of the first panel and pass through an aperture formed in the second panel by displacement of the female tabs. Each male tab is displaced out of the plane of the first panel by an angle greater than 90° and being maintained in position by respective side edges of the female tabs.
