  • Patent number: 12234910
    Abstract: An electric shift actuator includes a case body assembly, a case cover assembly covering the case body assembly, and a gear reduction mechanism assembly arranged in the case body assembly. The gear reduction mechanism assembly includes a motor subassembly, a face gear set, a first-stage gear reduction subassembly, and an output gear assembly configured to be connected to a parking mechanism. An output of the motor subassembly meshes with an input of the first-stage gear reduction subassembly in parallel to form first-stage gear reduction transmission, an output of the first-stage gear reduction subassembly vertically meshes with an input of the face gear set to form second-stage gear reduction transmission, and an output of the face gear set meshes with an input of the output gear assembly in parallel to form third-stage gear reduction transmission. The actuator has functions of emergency parking and manual unlocking with improved safety and redundancy.

  • Publication number: 20250055785
    Abstract: The system includes a wireless network that combines the functionality of the sensors with the formation and maintenance of the network, while balancing the network with the minimization of the energy consumed by the entire system. The system may include nodes, gateways, coordinators, extension sensors and boosters. The system may perform a method comprising applying a known load to a battery in a first node; measuring a voltage drop in the battery; determining an internal resistance of the battery; estimating a remaining life in the battery based on the internal resistance; and in response to the remaining life being below a remaining life threshold, re-directing, by a first gateway, signals in a mesh network away from the first node and to one or more of a plurality of nodes interfacing with the first node, wherein the first gateway interfaces with the first node and a network.

  • Patent number: 12185421
    Abstract: A method for switching between different SIM cards for wireless service includes detecting a status of a network used for voice and data and determining if a physical SIM card is a network card in a wireless client. When the physical SIM card is the network card, the method includes determining whether the wireless client includes one or more cloud SIM cards. When the wireless client includes one or more cloud SIM cards, the method further includes detecting a network status of the physical SIM card and assessing whether the network status of the physical SIM card or the status of the network requires using the one or more cloud SIM cards. When the one or more cloud SIM cards are required, the method includes switching the network card from the physical SIM card to the one or more cloud SIM cards.

  • Patent number: 11959805
    Abstract: The system is configured to locate, track and/or analyze activities of living beings in an environment. The system does not require the input of personal biometric data. The sensor system detects infrared (IR) energy from a living being moving in an environment, determines a temperature of the living being based on IR energy data of the IR energy, projects the temperature onto a grid having sequential pixels, determines serial changes of the temperature in the sequential pixels and determines a trajectory of the living being based on the serial changes of the temperature in the sequential pixels.
