  • Publication number: 20180181413
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can obtain a user interface (UI) component of a production system, wherein the UI component is associated with one or more properties. Each of the one or more properties can be mapped to a graphical user interface (GUI) element for display in a user interface of a design application. A value of a property of the one or more properties can be set based on user input from a GUI element associated with the property. A rendering of the UI component can presented in the user interface based on the set value of the property.

  • Publication number: 20170259675
    Abstract: A system for exchanging an electrical energy storage system (EESS) of an electric vehicle includes. An EESS station is configured to position an electric vehicle in x and y directions. A vehicle lift raises the electric vehicle to a predetermined height. An EESS lift supports and lowers the EESS and replaces the EESS with a differing EESS. The vehicle lift may be an inboard lift and the EESS lift may be an outboard lift. The system may also include one or more rollers configured to guide the electric vehicle. The system may include a horizontal door having at least one tube positioned thereon for guiding the electric vehicle and/or at least one vehicle chock for positioning the electric vehicle in at least one of the x and y directions.

  • Patent number: 9577576
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and circuits for frequency mixing signals. One example circuit generally includes a transformer comprising a primary winding and a secondary winding, the transformer configured to generate a signal across the secondary winding based on a signal at an input node coupled to the primary winding, and a first mixer coupled to the secondary winding of the transformer and configured to convert a frequency of the signal across the secondary winding. In certain aspects, the circuit also includes a biasing circuit having an output coupled to a tap of the secondary winding and configured to generate a biasing voltage by applying an offset voltage to a common-mode voltage of the first mixer and apply the biasing voltage to the tap of the secondary winding to bias the first mixer.
