  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20200223435
    Abstract: A vehicle control system determines an upper non-zero limit on deceleration of a vehicle to prevent rollback of the vehicle down a grade being traveled up on by the vehicle. The upper non-zero limit on deceleration is determined by the controller based on a payload carried by the vehicle, a speed of the vehicle, and a grade of a route being traveled upon by the vehicle. The controller is configured to monitor the deceleration of the vehicle, and to automatically prevent the deceleration of the vehicle from exceeding the upper non-zero limit by controlling one or more of a brake or a motor of the vehicle. The controller also is configured to one or more of actuate the brake or supply current to the motor of the vehicle to prevent rollback of the vehicle while the vehicle is moving up the grade at a non-zero speed.

  • System and Method for Settling a Payment Transaction Using Multiple Electronic Currencies
    Publication number: 20200210999
    Abstract: A system and method for converting electronic currencies may be implemented in a trade engine module on a mobile device. A merchant external wallet address is received from a merchant for assets of the merchant that have a respective value in an associated currency. The merchant can define allocation of payments to the merchant among the assets. Orders received from the merchant represent a transaction value in a fiat currency. The transaction value is divided into a plurality of allocations based on the allocation specified by the merchant. A conversion rate between the fiat currency and the currency of the asset associated with the allocation for each of the allocations is determined. Each of the allocations are converted from the fiat currency to the currency of the asset associated with the allocation based on the conversion rate.
