Patent number: 12528415Abstract: An adaptable load floor assembly, storage compartment, and associated control system for a vehicle. The vehicle includes a storage compartment with a load floor, a rear opening, a door for selectively closing the opening, and a platform hinged to the load floor and located within the storage compartment when the door is closed. In use and when the door is open, the platform is pivotable from a retracted position in which the platform partially obstructs the opening and a deployed position in which the platform extends out of the opening to provide an extension to the load floor. The platform is operated automatically by an actuator and the free end of the platform is supported by a tether. The vehicle includes a control unit for controlling the movement of the platform in accordance with safety criteria to avoid damage.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2016Date of Patent: January 20, 2026Assignee: JAGUAR LAND ROVER LIMITEDInventors: Simon Smith, David Ovens

Patent number: 9195731Abstract: A method and system is provided for the generation of a model to represent at least part of an organization. The model includes a plurality of items of relevance to the organization and said items are linked to each other and/or one or more organization database and/or one or more data sources external to the model so as to be able to generate, in a predefined manner a response to a user request made of the model. Thus user's receive appropriate automated support for their decision processes which is more efficient and allows better informed decisions to be made on the basis of the responses from the model. As the model is generated with reference to the organization rather than the raw data sources the use of the model is supportive of the organization work methodology and the responses are at the required level with respect to the decisions are to be made within the organization.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2012Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: MOOD INTERNATIONAL LIMITEDInventors: Simon Smith, Dick Whittington
