DYNAMIC LIMITING OF INTERIOR VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS
A system and method are provided for controlling an interior configuration of a vehicle. The system may include an interior vehicle component, an actuator component configured to adjust a physical configuration of the interior vehicle component, a vehicle operation controller configured to generate vehicle operation data representing the operation of the vehicle, and one or more processors configured to receive vehicle operation data and detect, by processing the vehicle operation data, a specific action taken by the vehicle. When the one or more processors detect a specific action taken by the vehicle, the one or more processors may cause the actuator component to restrict movement of the interior vehicle component to a predetermined range of physical configurations.
Bumper assembly for vehicle seat
A bumper assembly for a vehicle seat damper includes a bumper cap and a grommet configured to engage the bumper cap. The bumper cap includes a protruding central portion having a supporting rib structure within the protruding central portion. Further, a vehicle seat assembly includes a vehicle seat configured to be removably installed on a vehicle floor of a vehicle, the vehicle seat including a seat damper, and a bumper assembly configured to be installed on the vehicle floor such that the bumper assembly contacts the seat damper when the vehicle seat is installed on the vehicle floor. When the vehicle seat is installed on the vehicle floor, the seat damper contacts the bumper assembly and the bumper assembly then contacts a body panel of the vehicle so as to provide support for the vehicle seat assembly.
MODULAR TRANSPORTATION SEAT FRAME
A transportation seat support apparatus includes a frame configured to support a transportation seat. The frame includes an attachment portion configured to attach to a wall of a transportation vehicle, and at least one beam extending from the attachment portion at a first end and terminating at a second end. The transportation seat support apparatus further includes a pedestal configured to support the frame. The pedestal includes at least one leg portion configured to attach to a floor of the transportation vehicle, and at least one aperture configured to telescopically receive the second end of the at least one beam. The at least one beam is slidably movable within the at least one aperture.
Mobility-assist hybrid conversion vehicles and methods of manufacturing the same
A replacement floor assembly may include a base member having a top side, a bottom side, a front end, a rear end, a left side, and a right side. The front end and forward portions of the left and right sides define a forward section of the base member, whereas the rear end and rear portions of the left and right sides define a rear section of the base member. A first outboard flange member is mounted to at least a portion of the left side of the base member and a second outboard flange member is mounted to at least a portion of the right side of said base member. A front flange member is mounted to at least a portion of the front end of said base member so that at least portions of the forward section of the base member, the first and second outboard flange members, and the front flange member define a battery well.
Mobility-assist hybrid conversion vehicles and methods of manufacturing the same
A mobility access hybrid vehicle that includes a floor assembly that defines a mobility access system mounting area and a battery well, the battery well being located at a position forward of the mobility access system mounting area. A mobility access system is mounted within the mobility access system mounting area defined by the floor assembly. A hybrid battery is mounted within the battery well defined by the floor assembly. A first cover plate mounted over the battery well and a second cover plate mounted over the mobility access system together define a substantially flat interior floor area for first and second rows of occupant seating areas of the mobility access hybrid vehicle.
SELF-CHARGING ELECTRIC VEHICLE (SCEV)
A self-charging electric vehicle configured for converting solar energy and wind energy into electrical energy comprising a systems and methods. The vehicle includes a body and frame with a central body structure and centerline cabin and a chassis with a centerline battery compartment and a suspension system. Solar cells mounted to the vehicles top sides can be supplemented with extendable solar panel(s) that can be deployed by a control system to generate solar energy into electrical energy. An omnidirectional sun sensor provides for sun strength, angle and direction. A stowable horizontal-axis wind turbine with an extendable mast mounted to the vehicle that can be deployed by a control system to generate wind energy into electrical energy. A stowable anemometer provides for wind speed and wind direction.
Side-by-side all terrain vehicle
A side by side vehicle is disclosed having a vehicle frame having frame tubes extending from a front to a rear. A vehicle seat frame is positioned in a mid portion of the frame, and positions a seat frame at a raised position relative to the frame tubes. A powertrain is positioned rearward of the vehicle seat frame and is coupled to the vehicle frame. Side by side seats are supported by the seat frame; and one or more storage units are positioned under the side by side seats. The side by side vehicle also has a rear suspension comprising at least one rear alignment arm coupled to each side of a rear of the vehicle frame, where the alignment arms are coupled to the vehicle frame at front and rear connection points. A distance between the front connection points is greater than a distance between the rear connection points, and at least a portion of the powertrain is positioned between the front connection points of the alignment arms.
