Abstract: A modular charging station includes at least one lane module comprising a roof module and at least two vertical support columns coupling the roof module to ground. The charging station also includes a switch gear configured to receive alternating current voltage from a power grid. The charging station further includes a power unit configured to convert the alternating current voltage to direct current voltage. At least one power dispenser is coupled to the power unit and configured to supply the direct current voltage to a commercial vehicle. At least the power unit is arranged on the roof module.

Abstract: A fairing assembly for at least one axle of a commercial vehicle is disclosed. The fairing assembly includes at least one forward fairing configured to be arranged at least partially in front of a drive wheel of the axle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and at least one rear fairing configured to be arranged at least partially aft of the drive wheel. Each of the fairings includes at least one first portion made of a first material and at least one second portion adjoining the respective first portion where the second portion is made of a second material different from the first material.

Abstract: A fairing assembly for a commercial vehicle includes a forward fairing configured to be disposed such that the forward fairing begins inboard of an outer tire tread edge of a tire of a forward drive wheel and progresses outwards to end outboard of a wall of the tire of the forward drive wheel with respect to a longitudinal direction of the commercial vehicle. The fairing assembly further includes a rear fairing configured to be disposed such that the rear fairing begins inboard of an outer tire tread edge of a tire of a rear drive wheel and progresses outwards to end outboard of a wall of the tire of the rear drive wheel with respect to the longitudinal direction of the commercial vehicle, where the rear fairing has a concave cross-section in a transverse direction of the commercial vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and systems for enforcing host standards in a reservation system. In one embodiment, a reservation system provides two methods of communication between a potential guest and a host, hard communications and soft communications. The reservation system associates both types of communication with threads, each thread associated with the host and an associated reservation. The reservation system determines suspension metrics for each host based on the communications of the threads they are associated with. When the suspension metrics associated with a host satisfy one or more suspension criteria, the reservation system issues a suspension to the host.

Abstract: A fairing assembly for a commercial vehicle is disclosed. The fairing assembly includes a fairing and a mounting system for mounting the fairing on a frame of the commercial vehicle. The mounting system includes a first mounting bracket assembly mounted on the fairing and a second mounting bracket assembly configured to be mounted on the frame. The mounting system is configured to hold the fairing in a covering position for laterally covering at least a major portion of a wheel of the commercial vehicle and allow the fairing and the first mounting bracket assembly to pivot from the covering position into an intermediate position and translationally move along the second mounting bracket assembly in a transverse direction of the commercial vehicle from the intermediate position into a stowed position in which the fairing rests on the second mounting bracket assembly via the first mounting bracket assembly.

Abstract: A calibration system for calibrating multi-channel sound systems. The calibration system includes a method for calibrating a sound system that includes a plurality of loudspeakers. The method includes steps of mapping the plurality of loudspeakers into a virtual loudspeaker system representation displayable to a user, activating at least one calibration function that creates a calibration signal that is reproduced by one or more of the plurality of loudspeakers to produce a calibration sound perceivable by the user, modifying the virtual loudspeaker system representation to include a virtual calibration indicator that indicates a characteristic of the calibration signal, and adjusting the virtual calibration indicator based on a user input, wherein when the virtual calibration indicator is adjusted, a corresponding adjustment is made to the characteristic of the calibration signal until a selected calibration sound is achieved.
