Abstract: A watercraft comprising a hull, a roof, a support including a first end coupled to the roof and a second end positioned within the hull, and an actuation assembly coupled to the support. The support is moveable between a first position and a second position in response to activation of the actuation assembly. The support extends into the hull a first distance in the first position and a second distance in the second position. The second distance is larger than the first distance.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for heat sanitizing a vehicle. In one example, a method may include, responsive to receiving a request for cleaning an interior of a vehicle, adjusting a position of a sun shade based on at least one of an ambient temperature outside of the vehicle and a sun load of the vehicle, and operating a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system to heat the interior above an upper threshold temperature for a first threshold duration. In this way, the HVAC system may be advantageously used to expose the vehicle interior to temperatures that kill or inactive microbes.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for heat sanitizing a vehicle. In one example, a method may include, responsive to receiving a request for sanitization of a vehicle interior, activating an ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) system and operating a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system to heat the vehicle interior above an upper threshold temperature for a threshold duration. In this way, the HVAC system may be advantageously used to expose the vehicle interior to temperatures that kill or inactive microbes while the UVGI system may supplement the heat sanitizing.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for heat sanitizing a vehicle. In one example, a method may include, while receiving power from an external power source and responsive to receiving a request for cleaning an interior of a vehicle, operating an electric heater of a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system to heat the interior above an upper threshold temperature for a first threshold duration using the power received from the external power source. In this way, the HVAC system may be advantageously used to expose the vehicle interior to temperatures that kill or inactive microbes while vehicle battery power and fuel are conserved by using power supplied from the external power source.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for regenerating an aftertreatment device of a vehicle. In one example, a method may include adjusting conditions of the regeneration in response to a stickiness of the exhaust valve. Adjusting conditions may include adjusting an air/fuel ratio and/or a post-injection amount.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing traveled routes of a fleet. The method comprises reconstructing routes traveled by vehicles of the fleet based on historical GPS traces of the fleet; determining stops made by the vehicles along the traveled routes; and classifying the stops into work stops and non-work stops; and optimizing routes for the work stops.

Abstract: A heat exchange module for use in a chemical, pharmaceutical or biological reactor system includes a generally hollow body having an interior space for receiving a replaceable or single use reactant container, and at least one thermally conductive surface adapted to contact the replaceable reactant container to facilitate heat transfer, a fluid circulation path formed within the body between an outer wall of the body and an inner wall of the body through which a heat exchange fluid can be circulated, and at least one baffle protruding from the inner wall of the body into the interior space.

Abstract: A video classification platform receives a first message that includes a link to video data including video frames captured by one or more cameras associated with the vehicle, and including information concerning a vehicle and a driving event. The platform obtains the video data using the link, identifies the vehicle and the driving event based on the information, and determines objects in a video frame. The platform constructs a collision cone of the vehicle for the video frame and determines, based on the collision cone, a set of objects that have a potential to collide with the vehicle. The platform assigns a category to the driving event based on the set of objects, the collision cone of the vehicle, and the information, generates a second message that includes the category and the information, and sends the second message to a client device to display the second message.

Abstract: A system and method for processing GPS event data and providing an interface for presentation of timekeeping reports and alerts.

Abstract: Methods and systems for operating an engine to provide small amounts of energy to heat an aftertreatment device are described. In one example, fewer than the actual total number of engine cylinders are supplied with late post fuel injections (LPI) to heat an aftertreatment device without heating the aftertreatment device more than is desired. The engines fuel injectors may be operated at minimum fuel pulse widths to reduce fuel consumption.
