Abstract: A system includes a coupler with a cavity for receiving a coupling member. The system further includes an image sensor coupled to the coupler. The image sensor is configured and positioned to take images of a pattern on the coupling member. The images can be used to estimate a relative orientation of the coupler and the coupling member.

Abstract: A recreational vehicle includes a power source, a first electrical junction box, a second electrical junction box, a chassis power subsystem, and a recreational vehicle (RV) power subsystem. The first electrical junction box is electrically coupled between the power source and the second electrical junction box, the first electrical junction box is electrically coupled between the power source and the chassis power subsystem, and the second electrical junction box is electrically coupled between the first electrical junction box and the RV power subsystem.

Abstract: A proximity detection circuit suitable for use with an on-board vehicle charger, such as but not limited to the type of charges used within hybrid and hybrid electric vehicles, to facilitate current conservation during period of time when it is unnecessary or otherwise undesirable for the on-board charger to test for connection of a cordset or other connection used to connect the on-board charger to a charging station or other current source.

Abstract: The invention presents a computerized method for tracking equipment repair that begins by receiving an equipment identification of an item of equipment to be repaired from a user through a graphic user interface. The invention provides the user with a list of common problems for that item of equipment (and similar equipment) and a component hierarchy for the item of equipment. The invention allows the user to browse through multiple levels of the component hierarchy and select a major component, a minor component, or a subcomponent from the component hierarchy. The invention receives diagnosis input from the user optionally selecting one of the problems and/or a component from the component hierarchy and, in response, provides the user with detailed information regarding the problem or component selected by the user.
