  • Patent number: 11945272
    Abstract: A vehicle suspension system may include a vehicle chassis, a centerless wheel which may include a wheel rim and a tire, and a natural active suspension assembly which may operably couple the centerless wheel to the vehicle chassis via the wheel rim. The natural active suspension assembly may support the vehicle chassis at a substantially constant distance away from a ground plane by generating reactive torque to counteract displacement of the centerless wheel normal to the ground plane by moving a support location between the natural active suspension assembly and the wheel rim.

  • Patent number: 11410575
    Abstract: A system configured to provide a transcription building interface may be usable by transcribers to produce versions of textbooks and other works in accessible formats such as braille. The interface may receive data from a publisher of a work, such as a NIMAS file set, which provides a starting point for transcription but must be further modified to produce a production ready braille version. The interface presents a print display, a braille display, and a style display of the underlying data, and may receive input modifying the content of one or more of those displays, with any changes synchronized across each. The interface further provides toolsets that may be used to automate the creation of certain complex content in braille, including tools for describing lists, mathematical concepts, and images, which have conventionally been manually encoded.

  • Patent number: 11376973
    Abstract: A system of a vehicle includes a processor configured to control output current of a remote power distribution circuit (PDC) connected to the vehicle according to a temperature change of a power line or return line of the PDC. The temperature change is derived from a PDC output voltage or output current change. The PDC output voltage and output current are measured at an input to a load connected to the PDC. And, the PDC output voltage is measured between a ground line of the PDC and one of the power and return lines.
