Abstract: A junction box assembly including a housing having an opening for accessing an interior of the housing, a high-voltage connector adjacent the opening, and an access panel mounted to the housing. The access panel is movable between a first position and a second position, the first position restricting access to the opening of the housing and permitting a cooperating high-voltage connector to engage the high-voltage connector adjacent the opening and the second position permitting access to the opening of the housing and restricting a cooperating high-voltage connecter from engaging the high-voltage connector adjacent the opening.

Abstract: A method of placing an implant at one or more bone portions includes inserting a pinning and drilling instrument a first distance into a bone portion at a location at the bone portion such that a pin portion of the pinning and drilling instrument is inserted into the bone portion at the location; after inserting the pinning and drilling instrument the first distance into the bone portion, creating an implant receiving aperture at the location by further inserting the pinning and drilling instrument a second further distance into the bone portion at the location at the bone portion such that a drill portion of the pinning and drilling instrument is inserted into the bone portion to create the implant receiving aperture at the location; and placing an implant at the implant receiving aperture.

Abstract: A method of fixating bones for fusion includes positioning an implant guide sleeve at a first bone and a second bone and across a separation between the first bone from the second bone. The method further includes using the implant guide sleeve to guide creation of a first implant hole in the first bone and to guide creation of a second implant hole in the second bone, aligning an inserter, operatively connected to an implant, with the implant guide sleeve, and advancing the inserter, relative to the implant guide sleeve, to position the implant in contact with the first bone and the second bone with the implant bridging between the first bone and the second bone.

Abstract: A method of modifying a bone surface for receiving an implant includes: positioning a contour guide at a first bone and a second bone and across a separation between the first bone and the second bone; using the contour guide to modify a surface region of at least one of the first bone and the second bone to form a modified surface region at one or both of the first bone and the second bone; and positioning an implant in contact at least with the modified surface region.

Abstract: A vehicle differential includes a planetary gear set, a housing, at least one spider gear, an electric motor, and a first axle shaft. The planetary gear set includes a ring gear, a sun gear, and a planet carrier with a plurality of planets. The housing is fixed to the planet carrier, the at least one spider gear is disposed in the housing, an electric motor output is fixed to the ring gear, and the first axle shaft extends from the spider gear through the electric motor. In an example embodiment, the differential includes a shaft extending through the housing orthogonal to the first axle shaft. The at least one spider gear is four spider gears, a first pair of spider gears is arranged on the shaft, and a third spider gear is drivingly engaged with the first pair of spider gears and the first axle shaft.

Abstract: A hybrid transmission for a front-wheel drive vehicle includes a multi-speed transmission, a differential, an electric motor, and a planetary gear set. The multi-speed transmission includes an input shaft with a first axis. The differential includes a housing with a second axis, radially offset from the first axis. The electric motor is concentric with the second axis. The planetary gear set connects the multi-speed transmission, the differential, and the electric motor. In some example embodiments, the planetary gear set includes a sun gear drivingly engaged with the multi-speed transmission, a planet carrier drivingly engaged with the differential, and a ring gear drivingly engaged with the electric motor.

Abstract: Methods and systems for assisting analysis of potential gain or loss associated with acquiring property, and analysis of data related to disaster (such as due to flood, fire, etc.) affected properties with delinquent payments to determine the appropriate equity decision regarding a foreclosure action on one or more liens associated with the property. Loans and information associated therewith are assigned to one of the status queues that include a queue for loans eligible for review, a queue for loans reviewed based on the analysis, a queue for loans having a certain risk factor associated therewith, a queue for loans designated for foreclosure, a queue for loans having a certain lien position associated therewith, a queue for loans designated for bid-at-sale, and a queue for loans designated for disposition without any further action by the lender. Multiple liens associated with a subject property can be displayed and analyzed to facilitate assessment of the loan and recommendations for disposition thereof.
