Abstract: A tonneau cover for covering a cargo box of a vehicle. The tonneau cover includes a plurality of flexible hinges, each of which is between two rigid members. Each flexible hinge includes an elastomeric material having a first portion connected to a first one of the rigid members, a second portion connected to a second one of the rigid members, and a web between the first portion and the second portion. A cut-resistant barrier is associated with the flexible web and bridges between the first portion and the second portion. The cut-resistant barrier is effective to resist penetration by a sharp edge.

Abstract: An avionics system comprises one or more attitude sources, each configured to produce a respective calculated attitude solution; at least one magnetometer configured to measure magnetic field; and at least one attitude monitor configured to use the respective calculated attitude solution from one of the attitude sources to project the measured magnetic field estimate or an Earth Magnetic Field Model (EMFM) estimate such that the measured magnetic field estimate and the EMFM estimate are in a common shared frame. The at least one attitude monitor is further configured to determine a difference between the measured magnetic field estimate and the EMFM estimate in the common shared frame. The at least one attitude monitor is further configured to output an alert, which indicates that the respective calculated attitude solution used to project the measured magnetic field estimate or the EMFM estimate is in error, if the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: This invention relates to devices and processes for geophysical prospecting, subsurface fluid monitoring and, more particular, to the use of interferometric techniques using Control Source Electromagnetic (“CSEM”) and Magnetoturelic (“MT”) signals to create images of sub-surface structures and fluids.

Abstract: A method to calibrate at least one lever arm between at least one respective global positioning system (GPS) antenna/receiver and a communicatively coupled inertial navigation system is provided. The method includes receiving signals from the at least one GPS antenna/receiver at the inertial navigation system communicatively coupled to a Kalman filter; and estimating, in the Kalman filter, at least one fixed lever arm component while accounting for a bending motion of the lever arm based on the received signals.

Abstract: In a first aspect, a first method is provided. The first method includes the steps of (1) transmitting data on a bus, wherein data is presented on the bus using varying widths; (2) configuring a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to be performed on the data based on the manner in which the data is presented on the bus; and (3) performing the CRC on the data. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: A vehicle storage/cargo box system is provided. The system includes at least one access portion, such as but not limited to a door member, for providing access to the interior of a box portion. The box portion includes a weather stripping and door arrangement that allows flat access to the load floor of the box portion. The load floor of the box portion is above the level of the access door's weather stripping flange portion. The system includes various additional access portions, including but not limited to multiple door configurations that articulate in several different manners. The system also includes various storage and support devices such as but not limited to drawers, shelves, tables, and/or the like.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses that may be utilized to dynamically train communications links between two or more devices based on an error detection history are provided. The error detection history may be based on error detection value comparisons (e.g., CRCs) for a sequence of received packets. According to some embodiments, packets may be accepted only if a number (N) of successive packets have been received without errors, while link training may be automatically initiated only if a number (P) of successive packets have been received with errors.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, a module, and a system for calculating a credit limit for an interface capable of receiving multiple packets simultaneously. Generally, the multiple packets are simultaneously received at an interface on the second device, each packet being one of a plurality of packet types, and a flow control credit limit to be transmitted to the first device is adjusted based on the combination of packet types of the simultaneously received packets.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses that may be utilized to automatically train and activate communications links between two or more devices are provided. In some embodiments, one or more state machines may be used to monitor and control the behavior of receive and transmit logic during the automatic training and activation, thus, reducing or eliminating the need for software intervention. As a result, training and activation may begin with little delay after a power-on cycle.

Abstract: A method for attaching a soft top to a motor vehicle body tensions the soft top without a separate tensioning device. The method includes the general steps of attaching a support member to the motor vehicle for pivotal movement about a transverse pivot axis, supporting an upper rear corner of the top with the support member, and tensioning the top by upwardly and rearwardly biasing the upper rear corner of the top with the support member. The support member functions to provide a spring load for tensioning the top. In the preferred method, the support member is elastically deformed for tensioning the top.

Abstract: A removable door frame assembly for a motor vehicle includes a first portion pivotally interconnected to a second portion. The first portion is adapted to be oriented horizontally and releasably attached to a sport bar assembly of the motor vehicle. The second portion is adapted to be oriented vertically and releasably engage the body of the vehicle. The first portion is configured to releasably retain a retaining element attached to a top section of the soft top and thereby retain the soft top in a cross-car direction. Similarly, the second portion is adapted to releasably retain a retaining element attached to a side section of the soft top and longitudinally retain the side section.

Abstract: A window assembly for a motor vehicle includes a window frame adapted to removably mount to a lower door assembly. The window assembly further includes a mounting arrangement for removably attaching the window frame to the lower door assembly such that substantially vertical translation of the window frame is required to remove the window frame. The window assembly further includes a stop surface which is carried by the motor vehicle. The stop surface is adapted to oppose vertical translation of the window frame when the lower door assembly is in the closed position. In one form, the stop surface is defined by a removable door frame assembly.
