Abstract: A vehicle bed includes a top surface, a front end and a rear end, a first side and a second side, and a removable side panel with a first end, a second end, a top side, a bottom side, an interior side, and an exterior side. The removable side panel further includes an inner panel having a first end and a second end coupled to an outer panel having a first end and a second end. Additionally, the first end of the inner panel is configured to extend from and retract into the first end of the removable side panel.

Abstract: An amusement park attraction system includes a queue area and a controller configured to receive first sensor data indicative of one or more first notable attributes associated with a first group of guests in the queue area, receive second sensor data indicative of one or more second notable attributes associated with a second group of guests in the queue area, compare the first sensor data and the second sensor data to one another, determine a confidence score associated with a match between the first group of guests and the second group of guests based on comparison between the first sensor data and the second sensor data, and output a control signal in response to determining the confidence score exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: A bicycle rack includes a pair of elongated sliding members, a plurality of connecting elements for slidably connecting the elongated sliding members to the roof of the vehicle or the roof connectors of the vehicle, a pair of elongated, telescopic arms, wherein each arm comprises a first end connected to a respective one of the elongated sliding members, and wherein a rack securing element is provided at a second end of one or both of the arms, and at least one wheel supporting member, wherein the wheel supporting member has a first section pivotably connected to one of the elongated sliding members and a second section defining a wheel support.

Abstract: A sealing element for a vehicle cap is disclosed. The sealing element comprises a body portion, a flange attached to the body portion in a longitudinal orientation, and an angle. The flange is configured to move between an open and closed position. The flange is compressed as it moves from the open position to the closed position. The sealing element is comprised of a low density rubber and creates an airtight and watertight seal between the vehicle cap and the truck bed.

Abstract: An air vent for a vehicle or vehicle canopy includes an external and an internal duct. The external duct has an inlet and an outlet. The height of the outlet is less than that of the inlet. The inlet and the outlet are arranged such that, in use, an uppermost point of the inlet is located above an uppermost point of the outlet. The internal duct is in fluid communication with the external duct via one or more openings arranged in the internal duct or at a junction between the internal duct and the external duct. The internal duct is configured to be in fluid communication with an interior of the vehicle via a slot defined by the vehicle. The or each opening is arranged such that, in use, the uppermost point of the outlet of the external duct is located below a lowermost point of the or each opening.

Abstract: A device for clamping and unclamping tools in a collet comprises a tool holder, a collet and a movable tensioner. The tool holder has a machine side and a tool side that is configured to accommodate a tool shank of a tool. The collet is arranged for clamping the tool shank inside the collet, the collet having a conical outer surface, which rests against a correspondingly shaped inner surface of the tool holder. The tensioner is configured to effect an axial movement of the collet with respect to the tool holder when the tool holder is thermally expanded, for clamping and unclamping the collet with the tool shank therein. The tensioner is arranged inside the tool holder on the machine side of the collet. A method is used to clamp tools in a collet of a tool holder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensing system that, in a preferred embodiment, can be readily integrated into load-lifting structures (such as wings and landing gears) to provide real-time DPHM and obviate/mitigate catastrophic problems. Broadly, the present sensing system combines at least one shim portion with at least one nanogenerator such as a TENG or a PENG. A major advantage of the present sensing system is that it combines in a single structure the following functions: (a) gap management in the component in which the sensing system is installed, (b) collection/storage of measured data for the component in which the sensing system is installed, (c) harvesting/storing energy from operation environment of the component in which the sensing system is installed (e.g., DPHM data when the present sensing system is used for assessment of an aircraft's structural conditions), and (d) wireless transmission of measured data for the component in which the sensing system is installed to a user interface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a panel joining arrangement for a vehicle canopy. The vehicle canopy includes at least one three panel join where a side panel, roof panel and end panel of the vehicle canopy meet. The panel joining arrangement comprises first and second lip portions formed in the side panel of the vehicle canopy and a third lip portion formed in the roof panel. The first and second lip portions are longitudinally offset and transversely overlapping in relation to a length of the side panel. The third lip portion is configured to mate with the second lip portion at the three panel join of the vehicle canopy such that the third lip portion is located adjacent to and substantially flush with the first lip portion.

Abstract: Described herein are examples of devices, methods, and systems for applying screen features to a screen protector and/or an electronic display screen for smart devices or other electronic device with electronic display screens. The screen feature can be selected by a user, chosen from words, images, shapes, patterns, colors, designs, or logo. The screen feature is visible when the electronic display is in a powered-off state, and invisible when the electronic display is a powered-on state.

Abstract: A hinge includes a stainless steel pin rotatably connecting a glass filled nylon base section and a glass filled nylon rotating section by extending through a first lateral aperture of the glass filled nylon base section, a second lateral aperture of the glass filled nylon rotating section, and a third lateral aperture of the glass filled nylon base section. The glass filled nylon base section includes a right portion and a left portion fixed by a cross bar.
