  • Patent number: 12528415
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10480708
    Abstract: A system for mounting an electrical device to an electrical junction box may include a mounting plate configured to be coupled to a junction box, and a coupler plate configured to be coupled to the mounting plate and an electrical device. The mounting plate may include at least one a curved slot, and the coupler plate may include at least one pin. The mounting plate and the coupler plate may be configured to be coupled to one another via insertion of the at least one pin into the at least one curved slot, and rotating the coupler plate and the mounting plate relative to one another, so that the at least one pin follows the at least one curved slot and deflects and passes a locking clip of the mounting plate, such that the mounting plate and the coupler plate are coupled to one another.

  • Patent number: 9545844
    Abstract: A motor vehicle comprises a vehicle body, an engine compartment housing an engine, a bonnet movably coupled to the body and arranged to provide a closure member for the engine compartment, the bonnet being movable between open and closed conditions to allow access to the engine compartment, and an engine air intake duct having an orifice through which intake air may be drawn into the engine. The vehicle is provided with first and second air flaw paths whereby air may be supplied to the air intake duct. The first flow path comprises an air inlet aperture disposed at a front portion of the vehicle for receiving ram air and an air outlet aperture aft of the air inlet aperture, the air outlet aperture being provided in fluid communication with the air intake duct orifice. The second flow path is provided by a gap between a side edge of the bonnet and the body of the vehicle, whereby ambient air may be drawn through the gap to the air intake duct.

  • Publication number: 20160321576
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generation of at least one model to represent an organization or part thereof. The model includes the ability for a user enquiry to be made and the generation of a viewpoint in response to the enquiry. The generation of the viewpoint includes reference to at least one parameter relating to the organization and in particular the condition of the parameter at or nearest to the time of the enquiry being made or at a user defined time. Said viewpoint or viewpoints predict the effect a decision or set of decisions is likely to have on the ongoing operation of the organization.

  • Patent number: 9195731
    Abstract: 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.
