Abstract: An electric pushback vehicle includes a frame having a forward portion and a rear portion. The vehicle further includes front drive axle and a rear drive axle configured to communicate power to ground engaging members. A traction battery is housed within the electric pushback vehicle and provides electric power to an electric motor to drive an output shaft. A transmission is connected to receive mechanical power from the electric motor through a torque converter.

Abstract: A blender includes an integrated scale used to weigh ingredients added to a vessel of the blender. The blender also includes a user interface (UI) and a recipe application that includes recipe data. The integrated scale is mounted atop the blender such that as the vessel receives ingredients, the vessel engages the integrated scale but does not operatively engage a motor of the blender when weighing ingredients. The weights may be provided to a user via the UI as the ingredients are received in the vessel. The recipe application may be executed by a microcontroller of the blender to provide recipe steps via the UI to the user and thereby guide the user through a recipe based at least in part upon the recipe data and the weight of ingredients. When blending and mixing the ingredients, the vessel operatively engages the motor but does not engage the integrated scale.

Abstract: A service engine determines whether there is a potential lack of transaction tax compliance in a plurality of jurisdictions for a plurality of entities. The service engine generates and/or transmits tax compliance data which may include information about potential lack of tax compliance of an entity in various jurisdictions based on rules about establishing nexus for purposes of remitting transaction tax in the jurisdictions. The tax compliance data may include a notification about the generation of the information, such as a notification to the entity that there exists a potential lack of tax compliance of that entity in specific jurisdictions. The service engine may update the tax compliance data dynamically and send corresponding notifications, automatically in real time or near real time for the applicable entity as sales of the entity change and/or rules for establishing nexus change for various jurisdictions.
