  • Publication number: 20240116525
    Abstract: A cleaning device for a surface, such as a windshield of a vehicle, includes an active positioning system and a cleaning head. The active positioning system is configured to deploy from a storage position hidden from view within a covered storage space and to position the cleaning head upon the windshield. The active positioning system includes a first extension member and a second extension member that move relative to one another to position the cleaning head, and also move the cleaning head across the windshield along a path. The cleaning head can have a brush portion configured to agitate debris from the window, and a drying portion configured to dry the window after cleaning. The cleaning device can be controlled via a touch-screen display in the vehicle, enabling a user to direct that specific portions of the windshield be cleaned as desired.

  • Publication number: 20240101074
    Abstract: A system for collecting particulate matter includes a central module configured to be arranged in a motorized vehicle to collect particulate matter from a tire of the motorized vehicle. The central module includes a motor configured to provide suction. A collection tank receives the particulate matter from the tire of the motorized vehicle. The suction provided by the motor draws the particulate matter from the tire of the motorized vehicle into the collection tank. A control module is configured to regulate the suction provided by the motor. Collection heads are arranged about the motorized vehicle to receive the particulate matter from the tire of the motorized vehicle. Conduits connect the collection heads with the collection tank to convey the particulate matter received at the collection heads to the collection tank.

  • Patent number: 11872961
    Abstract: A collapsible trunk for use with a vehicle having a wheel well. The trunk comprises a base wall and a side wall pivotally connected thereto. The side wall extends from the base wall and terminates at an upper edge. The side wall and base wall collectively define a storage cavity. The base wall and the side wall each have an expandable portion conformable to the wheel well in response to placement of the base wall and the side wall over the wheel well. The trunk is selectively transitional between a collapsed configuration and a deployed configuration. In the collapsed configuration, the base panels overlap each other, and in the deployed configuration, the plurality of base panels are co-planar to each other. The upper edge of the side wall moves away from the base wall as the trunk transitions from the collapsed configuration toward the deployed configuration.

  • Publication number: 20230405370
    Abstract: A head encapsulation unit is disclosed which filters virus contaminated air. The head encapsulation unit may be deployed and cover the whole head of a user and have a transparent front layer with one or more filters attached to purify air to and from the interior volume of the unit. This head encapsulation unit allows for both medical personnel and infected individuals to better and more easily communicate than mouth covered filters, goggles and face shield while offering substantially more mitigation from spreading an infection or being infected. Additional secondary filters and one or more air pumps may be incorporated with the head encapsulation unit.

  • Publication number: 20230356010
    Abstract: A head encapsulation unit is disclosed which filters virus contaminated air. The head encapsulation unit does not require a fitting process since the primary interface between the head encapsulation unit and the user is the user's neck. The head encapsulation unit has an expandable seal that a user can insert his or her head. The seal is then wrapped around and places light pressure against the person's neck so that virus contaminated air that does not enter the inner volume of the head encapsulation unit and infect the user. A cap at the upper portion of the unit and the seal aligns the head encapsulation unit on the user's head. This head encapsulation unit allows for both medical personnel and infected individuals to better and more easily communicate than mouth covered filters, goggles and face shield while offering substantially more mitigation from spreading an infection or being infected.
