System and method to detect and avoid spilled cargo
A system to detect and avoid spilled cargo in an automobile vehicle, includes an automobile vehicle rear cargo area including a floor to temporarily receive a storage item in the cargo area. A lift gate is moved between a closed and latched position and a fully open position inclusive to allow loading and removal of the storage item. A vision system identifies the storage item when initially loaded in the cargo area and identifies if the storage item is initially positioned in a cargo spill position or subsequently moves to the cargo spill position. A cargo stop device is releasably connected to the lift gate. An operating system releasably stores the cargo stop device when the storage item is not in the cargo spill position and deploys the cargo stop device when the storage item is in the cargo spill position.
Rolling tonneau cover
A tonneau cover assembly that selectively covers a truck bed of a truck is provided. The tonneau cover assembly includes a cover and a longitudinally extending rail located adjacent a sidewall of the truck bed. The longitudinally extending rail includes an attachment member. The attachment member extends longitudinally along with the rail and at least a portion of the attachment member is located over a portion of the bed. The cover includes a stiffener located adjacent the attachment member of the longitudinally extending rail.
CARRIER MOUNTING SYSTEMS
Carrier mounting systems and methods for using the same are provided.
MOTOR VEHICLE REAR PARCEL SHELF INCLUDING COMPOSITE MATERIAL
A motor vehicle rear parcel shelf configured to separate the passenger compartment from the luggage compartment of the vehicle, the motor vehicle rear parcel shelf including a first beam and a second beam, the first and second beams including composite material and configured to be rigidly connected to the two sides of the body of a motor vehicle, and a panel connecting the two beams together.
SPACECRAFT WITH INCREASED CARGO CAPACITIES, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A representative spacecraft system includes a launch vehicle elongated along a launch vehicle axis and having at least one stage carrying a corresponding rocket engine. The representative system further includes an annular support structure carried by the at least one stage and positioned to support a cargo spacecraft having a service module and a cargo module. The cargo module of the cargo spacecraft is positioned along the launch vehicle axis in a direction distal from the support structure, and at least a portion of the service module of the cargo spacecraft positioned within an annulus of the support structure
SECURE STORAGE SYSTEMS FOR VEHICLES
An enclosure system for vehicles may include a body with mounting points for mounting the body in a passenger compartment of a vehicle and adapted to fit under a bench seat in the vehicle. The body may include multiple walls coupled together and may couple with one or more doors. For example, the one or more doors may couple with the body with one or more hinges and may close over a top of the body to form one or more cavities in which items may be stored. The enclosure system may also include one or more locking mechanisms for coupling the doors in a closed position and securing the cavities and items within the cavities.

CONFIGURABLE STORAGE COMPARTMENTS
A configurable storage assembly for a storage compartment of a vehicle, the storage assembly including a plurality of struts extendable between a retracted position and an extended position, one or more attachment features coupled to the first end of each wall portion, and one or more receiving features coupled to the vehicle, the receiving features are configured to be selectively coupled to the attachment features. Each strut includes a wall portion having a first end and an opposite second end, the second end of the wall portion extending from a surface of the vehicle. In the retracted position, the attachment feature of each strut is spaced apart from the receiving features. In the extended position, the attachment feature of each strut is coupled to one of the receiving features.
TONNEAU COVER WITH TWO SETS OF FOLDING LEGS
A tonneau cover is provided. That tonneau cover includes a panel, a first set of folding legs carried on the panel and a second set of folding legs carried on the panel. The first set of folding legs have a first length L.sub.1 while the second set of folding legs have a second length L.sub.2 where L.sub.1>L.sub.2. Depending upon which set of folding legs is deployed, the panel may be converted into a table or a bench as desired.
