  • Patent number: 12502965
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage device supported by the chassis, a body assembly, and a power distribution unit. The energy storage device is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The body assembly is configured for storing refuse and is supported by the chassis. The power distribution unit is coupled to the energy storage device and is configured to control power transmission outward from the energy storage device. The body assembly includes a controller that communicates with the power distribution unit to adjust a flow of electrical power from the energy storage device to the body assembly.

  • Publication number: 20250381849
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage device, a body assembly, a lifting system, and a can alignment sensor. The energy storage device is supported by the chassis and is configured to provide power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The body assembly is supported by the chassis and includes a controller. The lifting system is configured to engage and lift a refuse can to deposit refuse from the refuse can into the body assembly. The can alignment sensor is in communication with the controller and is configured to monitor a position of the refuse can. The controller is configured to operate the prime mover in response to receiving an indication that the refuse can is outside of a target zone relative to the body assembly.

The energy storage device is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The body assembly is configured for storing refuse and is supported by the chassis. The power distribution unit is coupled to the energy storage device and is configured to control power transmission outward from the energy storage device, between the chassis and the body assembly. The body assembly includes a controller that communicates with the power distribution unit to adjust a flow of electrical power from the energy storage device to the body assembly.

  • Publication number: 20060029054
    Abstract: The present invention describes a new system and method for modeling and dynamically deploying services into a distributed networking architecture, especially in a service-oriented architecture. The service container being part of distributed networking architecture exposes its functionality as services. It provides a registration service for deploying service descriptions. Having created a new service description in any declarative description language (i.e. a description of a (stateful) service e.g. a stateful Web service), the description provider invokes the registration service at the service container that allows to register (i.e. deploy) that new service description during runtime without restarting service container. The service container is responsible to analyze and check the submitted new service description for validity, to store the service description and to make it available for interested services consumers for instantiation.
