  • Patent number: 10150399
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for raising and lowering a vehicle that is supported by a wheel suspended from a frame of the vehicle by a suspension component. The apparatus includes a linear actuator that is vertically oriented to move the wheel of the vehicle relative to the frame of the vehicle. A compression device is arranged to compress the suspension component of the vehicle in response to movement of the wheel by the linear actuator.

  • Patent number: 8731503
    Abstract: A method is disclosed that includes measuring, under control of one or more processors of a mobile device, performance of a radio frequency reception parameter for radio frequency reception for the mobile device. The mobile device includes one or more antennas over which the radio frequency reception occurs and the one or more processors. The method includes causing movement of the mobile device to improve the performance of the radio frequency reception parameter. A mobile device includes one or more antennas over which radio frequency reception occurs, one or more processors, and one or more memories including computer program code. The mobile device performs at least the following: measuring, under control of the one or more processors, performance of a radio frequency reception parameter, and causing movement of the mobile device to improve the performance of the a radio frequency reception parameter. Program products are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140011446
    Abstract: An apparatus including at least one coil; and electronic circuitry connected to the at least one coil. The electronic circuitry is configured to generate a magnetic field signal from the at least one coil. The magnetic field signal includes one or more data, where the magnetic field signal with the one or more data is configured to be used to create a wireless communication connection between the apparatus and a device.

  • Publication number: 20050248316
    Abstract: A method for compensating for overcharging of at least one battery includes calculating a charge rate for the at least one battery, comparing an overcharge accumulator value for the at least one battery with a maximum time limit value, comparing the calculated charge rate with a nominal charge rate for the at least one battery, if the overcharge accumulator value is less than the maximum time limit value, incrementing the overcharge accumulator value if the calculated charge rate is higher than the nominal charge rate, if the overcharge accumulator value is less than the maximum time limit value, decrementing the overcharge accumulator value if the calculated charge rate is lower than the nominal charge rate (if the overcharge accumulator value is less than the maximum time limit value), setting the charge rate for the at least one battery to the calculated charge rate (if the overcharge accumulator value is less than the maximum time limit value), and setting the charge rate for the at least one battery to t

  • Publication number: 20050200332
    Abstract: A method for charging at least one battery, includes: determining a status of at least one parameter for the battery, where the at least one parameter comprises a closeness to a desired charge level; determining that the battery is to be charged during a peak usage time period; and determining a priority rating for the battery based upon the at least one parameter, where a battery closer to the desired charge level has a higher priority rating. The battery is then charged according to it priority rating. When batteries are to be charged for an off-peak usage time period, the charge rates of the batteries are adjusted based upon the available time for the charge. In this manner, quick recharged battery availability is provided during peak usage time periods, while battery life is prolonged during off-peak usage time periods.
