Automatic Braking-On-Interference (AutoBOI)

Automatic braking is a godsend for modern vehicles, but what happens when cameras and sensors become obscured?

A study published by NIOSH reported that the chaos, mud, and dirt of construction sites can overwhelm cameras and sensors.

Accidents at construction sites, especially from reversing, take a horrific toll each year.

Airless/NPT Tire

This new invention is to improve shock absorption, cushioning, spring and comfort for non-pnuematic tires and run-flat tires. The traditional approach has been “legs” or “fins” that are constructed perpendicular to the rotation of the tire. While these are reasonably effective, they may compress or deteriorate over time and use. Further,

ON THE ROCKS – Rock Crawler Axle

The illustrated rock crawler axle is a simple mechanism that combines articulation and side shift to provide adjustable on-the-go variable caster and camber angles throughout the range of steering.

Rock crawling/bouncing introduces significant forces on the tires of a vehicle. Independent wheel braking has been used to control tire contact forces. Imagine, however,

OBV: On-Board Validation for Automated Vehicles

This is a proposal for a future mandatory interface to support the testing of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), to be installed in all production vehicles, hence "On-Board Validation" or OBV. This would allow independent validation of CAVs by third parties, and comparative tests between models from different manufacturers.

Hybrid Transmission System for Blending Torque and Power Efficiency Between Engines & Final Transmission Shaft

The innovation introduces a Hybrid Transmission System (the System).

Unlike other mild hybrid configurations, which only enable the administration of TORQUE available from the hybrid set (e.g., internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric machine (EM)), this new mechanism allows TORQUE and RPM to be managed, locating the performance of the hybrid set in it’s optimum. In so doing,
