Abstract: A method for providing vehicle recommendations based on a vehicle powertrain type is provided. The method includes obtaining a geographical location related to a user, receiving data indicating availability of energy transition infrastructure in an area including the geographical location, determining a vehicle powertrain type based on the data, determining inventory information of a vehicle having the determined vehicle powertrain type, and providing information related to the vehicle based on the inventory information to the user via a user interface.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing information about fuel stations. A system includes an imaging system and a profile management system. The imaging system is used for generating imaging data for a fuel station onboard a vehicle. The profile management system receives the imaging data. The profile management system identifies selected information for the fuel station based on the imaging data received. The selected information includes an identification of the fuel station, pricing information, and at least one of fuel inventory information, or business hours information for the fuel station. The profile management system updates a profile for the fuel station based on the selected information. The profile management system sends at least a portion of the profile for the fuel station to a target system.

Abstract: Methods and systems for recommending future vehicles. The system includes one or more sensors of a current vehicle configured to detect sensor data. The system includes a vehicle transceiver of the current vehicle configured to communicate the sensor data. The system includes a remote data server configured to receive the sensor data from the current vehicle, and determine one or more vehicles to recommend to the driver of the current vehicle based on the received sensor data. The system includes a computing device coupled to the remote data server and configured to display the one or more vehicles to be recommended to the driver of the current vehicle.

Abstract: A furniture member cushion includes an exterior cover having opposed walls defining an interior cavity and a cushion fill opening. A first slit is created through the cover proximate to the cushion fill opening. A foam cushion member is disposed through the cushion fill opening and substantially fills the interior cavity. A second slit is created in the cushion member, and aligned with the first slit when the cushion member is disposed in the interior cavity. A plurality of seams are sewn through the opposed walls and the cushion member, at least one aligned with the first and second slits.

Abstract: A deflection limitation system for upholstered furniture seat members includes a rectangular-shaped support frame having opposed front and rear members and opposed sides. Sinuous-shaped springs are connected to both the front and rear members. Each spring is deflectable over a limited range defined between a non-deflected position and a maximum deflected position. A wire element crossing below the spring elements has ends each connected to different frame sides. A central portion of the wire element is downwardly curved. A predefined spacing separates the wire element central portion from each of the spring elements in the non-deflected position. The maximum deflected position of the spring elements wherein the spring elements contact the central portion of the wire element is reached when a predefined load is distributed to the spring elements. The spring elements are thereafter restrained from further deflection by the wire element.

Abstract: A piece of furniture utilizes a movable heating member or heating pad that can be positioned at various locations on the furniture and/or on a user of the furniture. The heating pad is selectively operable to generate heat. The heating pad can be selectively connected to and unconnected from the piece of furniture for use and storage in a convenient storage location on the furniture.
