  • Patent number: 12202364
    Abstract: Systems and methods for in-transit charging of an electric vehicle. An electric autonomous vehicle (EAV) may request charging services when its battery level falls below a threshold. The EAV may be in transit to a destination when the charging service is requested. A charging range route may be determined for the EAV. A charging-AV may identify one or more candidate merge points. If a feasible merge point is identified, the charging-AV may transit to the merge point and platoon with the EAV. The EAV and charging-AV may platoon with each other so that the charging-AV may provide charging services to the EAV. Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications may be used to synchronize the moments of the charging-AV and EAV while in transit.

  • Patent number: 11933251
    Abstract: A fuel vapor recirculation system includes a filler neck adapted to receive a refueling nozzle that dispenses fuel into the filler neck. A fuel tank receives fuel from the filler neck through an inlet check valve. The check valve is disposed in the fuel inlet opening and is normally closed. The check valve opens when fuel is dispensed into the fuel tank. The check valve defines a vent hole that is always open. The fuel tank also includes a fuel limiting vent valve and a grade limit vent valve. A fuel vapor cannister collects fuel vapor and selectively supplies fuel vapor to an intake manifold of a vehicle. The fuel vapor recirculation manifold receives fuel vapor only from the fuel limiting vent valve and the grade limit vent valve in the fuel tank and does not receive fuel vapor directly from the filler neck.

  • Publication number: 20230234209
    Abstract: A drill press has a main housing, a drill unit supported by the main housing for relative movement therewith, and a base coupled to the main housing, the base includes a magnet assembly to create a magnetic field for magnetically latching the base to a workpiece. The magnet assembly is rotatably attached to the base and includes a shaft and at least one permanent magnet disposed on the shaft. The shaft is rotatable between a first position where the base would not magnetically engage the workpiece and a second position where the base would engage the workpiece. An auxiliary handle is pivotably attached to the main housing and movable from a first handle position preventing removal of a power tool battery pack from the main housing and a second handle position allowing removal of the power tool battery pack from the main housing.

  • Patent number: 11627302
    Abstract: Features for a lightweight stereoscopic viewing client are described. The client can generate accurate ground point coordinates from selections within the lightweight viewer by accumulating the transformations from original image sources to the images used to render the stereoscopic scene to accurately predict error for a point selection. The viewer may also be decoupled from a permanent image store allowing on-demand retrieval of images via a network for stereoscopic viewing.
