Lift pads with alignment functionality and methods of using the same
11161725 · 2021-11-02 ·

Lift pads with alignment functionality that enable a lift operator to objectively, easily and accurately position one or more, e.g., four, lift pads to ensure precise contact with the desired lift points and features of an object. Alignment functionality includes light emitting devices for illuminating an opposing surface, light beam detectors for detecting alignment, and image capture devices with machine vision capability for identifying features on opposing surface, among others.

Hyper-compact electric all-terrain vehicle drivetrain and conversion kit

The present invention relates to electric drivetrain kits for converting all-terrain vehicles into hybrid or electric vehicles. In exemplary embodiments, a conversion kit replaces an existing standard single motor and transmission drive system with a dual set-up including a motor for each rear wheel and a split transmission that houses two sets of gear reduction components in a single housing or an all-wheel configuration with two transmission sets (front and rear). Dual output shafts in each transmission set drive the wheels independently to provide the torque needed as required and demanded by each wheel. System electronics send signals to the motors and other components to manage the system and independently control each wheel.

Autonomous vehicle jack system
11459219 · 2022-10-04 ·

An autonomous jack system. The system provides an autonomous jack housed in a storage condition under a vehicle. The autonomous jack having an extensible jack arm pivotably connected to a body with a motive source and lockable tracks to exit its storage condition and traverse uneven terrain and lock its track at a point there along. The system embodies placing lift points along the underside of a vehicle, each lift point associated with a wheel that may need to be lifted off a supporting surface. The lift point includes an identifier that may send an indication of the lift point to the autonomous jack having sensors to read the indication and navigate the supporting surface. The lift point is identified through a computer-implemented control panel operated by a user. The jack arm terminates in a hand dimensioned and adapted to operatively associate with the identified lift point.
