  • Patent number: 12370828
    Abstract: An axle for a motor includes a first portion extending from a first end to a second end. The first portion defines a first length of an interior passage extending from a first aperture proximate the first end. The first portion defines the first aperture at a first aperture distance from the central axis. A second portion extends from a third end to a fourth end and surrounds a length of the first portion. At least one of the first portion or the second portion defines a second length of the interior passage extending from a second aperture proximate the second end. The second aperture is defined at a second aperture distance from the central axis. The second aperture distance is greater than the first aperture distance. A first mounting structure is located proximate the first end and a second mounting structure is located proximate the second end.

  • Patent number: 12330736
    Abstract: A hub motor for a single-wheel electric vehicle. The motor includes an outer rotor which encloses a stator that in turn encloses an interior chamber within the hub motor that may be used to hold an electronic controller. One or more end caps may suspend a mounting board within the interior chamber, and the exterior of the one or more end caps connects the apparatus to the electric vehicle's chassis. The additional capacity provided by the interior chamber allows the electric vehicle to hold more battery capacity, thereby extending the range of the electric vehicle between recharges.

  • Patent number: 12319377
    Abstract: A single wheel vehicle may include first and second footpads. Each footpad may be configured to receive a left or right foot of a rider that is oriented generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the device. A detecting region may be located on the first and second footpads. The detecting region may include switches. Each switch may be electrically connected to corresponding resistor such that the resistance across a powerline drops for each switch that is pressed. A motor controller may receive device orientation information and rider presence information derived from a measurement of the powerline. The motor controller may cause a motor to propel the device based on the device orientation information and the rider presence information, which may correspond to the number of switches pressed. The motor controller may also disengage the motor based on the number of switches pressed.

  • Publication number: 20250145529
    Abstract: An asphalt modifier includes bitumen, polyolefin particles, and one or more alkyl terephthalamides. Preparing an asphalt modifier includes combining one or more alkyl terephthalamides, polyolefin particles, and bitumen, and dispersing the polyolefin particles in the bitumen to yield the asphalt modifier. Digesting polyethylene terephthalate includes combining polyethylene terephthalate with an alkylamine or carboxyalkylamine to yield a reaction mixture, and heating the reaction mixture to a temperature between about 20° C. and about 300° C. to yield an alkyl terephthalamide.

  • Publication number: 20250121108
    Abstract: A sterilization, disinfection, sanitization, or decontamination system having a chamber defining a region, and a generator for creating a free radical effluent with reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and other species and/or a vaporizer. A closed loop circulating system without a free-radical destroyer is provided for supplying the mixture of free radicals from the generator mixed with the hydrogen peroxide solution in the form of the effluent to the chamber. The system is used in sterilizing, disinfecting, sanitizing, or decontaminating items in the chamber or room and, with a wound chamber, in treating wounds on a body. The wound chamber may be designed to maintain separation from wounds being treated. Various embodiments can control moisture to reduce or avoid unwanted condensation. Some embodiments can be incorporated into an appliance having a closed space, such as a washing machine. Some embodiments may include a residual coating device that deposits a bactericidal coating on sterilized items.

  • Publication number: 20250094442
    Abstract: Synchronous content sharing of media assets via an object data model propagated through a star network or a mesh network. Each user device updates a local object data model including information on the status of the media asset delivery, to achieve synchronization with the source data. Updates to the local object data model may be the result of direct connection between a user device and an application server via a network, or the result of indirect connections through peers in mesh networks, where the local object data model is shared through hops between peers in the mesh network if the direct connection is unavailable.
