Patent number: 12030558Abstract: A vehicle body for a multi-platform, reconfigurable electric truck includes a front trunk, an extendable bed and barn door tailgates, a sidewall table, and a side step and drawer. The front trunk includes a cover movable between a closed and open positions, and includes panels selectively movable between a retracted and extended positions to form a work surface. A bed extender slides between a retracted and extended positions. Barn door tailgates each move between closed, partially open, and fully open positions and include inner tailgates movable between stowed and deployed positions. The barn door tailgates and the inner tailgates enclose an extended region of a bed when the bed extender is extended position, the barn door tailgates are each partially open, and the inner tailgates are each deployed. The sidewall table folds down from a sidewall, and the drawer pulls out from a sidewall.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2022Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: Canoo Technologies Inc.Inventors: Anthony Aquila, Richard Kim, Jackson E.

Publication number: 20240185359Abstract: This technology relates to providing a web-based digital claims platform to provide users with a simple and customized experience when filing insurance claims. The platform is enabled by a plurality of back-end application programming interface (API) resources. These API resources are event-driven (e.g., when an “event” associated with the claim occurs, the status of the claim changes and the API is provided with updated information indicative of the change). The platform includes a customized user interface (UI) that tailors the claim experience to a particular user's needs. The customization can be based off of stated user preferences and/or learned user preferences associated with the user's past behavior. A user can perform/request various services through the customized UI's self-service function (e.g., rent a car, find a hotel room, select a repair shop, etc.). Additionally, the customized UI can enable the user upload documents, track claim status, find relevant help topics, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2024Publication date: June 6, 2024Applicant: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: William Simonovich, Kenrick Niedbalski, Sam Yeargin, Benjamin Tarmann, Archy Ntabona, Natalie Smith, Jared Musil, Deborah Taylor, Mary Gonsalves, Brittany Boyer, Jordan Leach, Yohan Santos, Richard Kim, Loubna Fassi, Abdul Wahab

Publication number: 20230383602Abstract: For use as an accessory with a multi-purpose vehicle having enclosed and rooftop cargo storage, a ladder/ramp includes a pair of siderails and crossbars extending between the siderails. A plurality of panels are each rotatably mounted between the siderails adjacent to one of a plurality of the crossbars, with each panel selectively rotatable between a closed position substantially aligned with the siderails and an open position extending outwardly from the siderails. When the panels are in the closed position, the panels and the crossbars collectively form a substantially continuous surface between the siderails on which wheels can be rolled. When the panels are in the open position, the panels each form a step that may support at least about 250 pounds. The panels may snap into place when moved into the open or closed positions, to prevent inadvertent movement therefrom.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2022Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Anthony Aquila, Richard Kim, Arthur Henrique Martins Junior, Jackson Eric Luttig, Iliya Bridan, Chacko Abraham, Mark Smith
