Abstract: One or more aspects of the present application relate to the configuration or management of an integrated component that provides structural component functionality for a vehicle, such as a cross member that absorbs loads placed on the vehicle. Additionally, the integrated component illustratively further provides air reservoir functionality that for one or more additional vehicle components. By way of illustrative embodiment, the integrated component can illustratively provide structural component functionality associated with a cross member mounted between shock towers and air reservoir functionality to provide compression air such as for active or semi-active vehicle suspension systems.

Abstract: Some examples relate to the configuration or management of an integrated component that provides structural component functionality for a vehicle, such as a cross member that absorbs loads placed on the vehicle. Additionally, the integrated component illustratively further provides air reservoir functionality that for one or more additional vehicle components. In some examples, an integrated component can provide structural component functionality associated with a cross member mounted between shock towers and air reservoir functionality to provide compression air such as for active or semi-active vehicle suspension systems.

Abstract: Systems and methods of adapting a work machine to operate a plurality of interchangeable work tools. Systems according to the disclosure employ interchangeable joystick controllers, each having different configurations optimized to the operator and/or the particular operating parameters and/or requirements of the selected work tool. Each of the joysticks has a standardized mechanical and/or electrical connection for attachment to the work machine via a standardized base. The base receives control communications from the selected/paired joystick and is configured to adapt the control communications to a standardized signal format such that the work machine operates the work tool according to inputs from the selected joystick.
