Abstract: A vehicle may receive one or more images of an environment of the vehicle. The vehicle may also receive a map of the environment. The vehicle may also match at least one feature in the one or more images with corresponding one or more features in the map. The vehicle may also identify a given area in the one or more images that corresponds to a portion of the map that is within a threshold distance to the one or more features. The vehicle may also compress the one or more images to include a lower amount of details in areas of the one or more images other than the given area. The vehicle may also provide the compressed images to a remote system, and responsively receive operation instructions from the remote system.

Abstract: A system and method are arranged to provide recommendations to a user of a vehicle.

Heuristics may also be used in determining a next vehicle task.

Abstract: A slurry composition that includes (A) a solvent, (B) a suspension aid, (D) an alkoxylated fatty amine, (E) an active ingredient, and optionally (C) a polar activator. The slurry composition may be formulated with up to 75 wt. % of the active ingredient (E), based on a total weight of the slurry composition, and remain as a pumpable and stable suspension. A concentrated slurry base is also disclosed which includes the solvent (A), the suspension aid (B), the polar activator (C), and the alkoxylated fatty amine (D), all being present at a higher concentration in the concentrated slurry base than a slurry composition made therefrom. A method of treating a subterranean formation is also disclosed, whereby the slurry composition is mixed with an aqueous fluid to form a treatment fluid, and the treatment fluid is introduced through a wellbore penetrating the subterranean formation.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure deal with archery sights mounted or mountable on an archery bow. The sight incorporates a sight pin and an adjustment assembly in combination with an electronic module to indicate or control the desired position of the sight pin. The electronic module calculates and displays correlated target distances based on the position of the sight pin.

Abstract: An axle hanger includes a web, a first flange extending in a first direction perpendicular to the web, and a second flange extending in the first direction perpendicular to the web, spaced from and parallel to the first flange. A first return extends from the first flange toward the second flange parallel to the web, and a second return extends from the second flange toward the first flange parallel to the web. The axle hanger is easier to install and access in the event a hanger spring needs replacement, and the hanger can be more stably secured to the axle.

Abstract: A basketball goal assembly has an outer support pole extending vertically upward from a base. An inner pole is telescopically arranged within the outer support pole. A basketball backboard assembly having a backboard and a rim extends from an upper end of the inner pole. A series of tracking blocks are secured to the inner pole. Each tracking block protrudes from the inner pole to bear against an inner surface of the outer support pole. The blocks rigidly hold the inner pole at a spaced lateral distance from the outer support pole while allowing the inner pole to travel vertically relative to the outer support pole. An actuator is operable to telescopically raise and lower the inner pole relative to the outer pole.

Abstract: A trailer frame includes a drawbar and a coupler connected to the drawbar through a pair of flexible and resilient connections operably disposed between the drawbar and the coupler and configured to absorb shock and vibration imparted to the drawbar and the coupler while the trailer is towed.

Abstract: Example systems and methods allow for reporting and sharing of information reports relating to driving conditions within a fleet of autonomous vehicles. One example method includes receiving information reports relating to driving conditions from a plurality of autonomous vehicles within a fleet of autonomous vehicles. The method may also include receiving sensor data from a plurality of autonomous vehicles within the fleet of autonomous vehicles. The method may further include validating some of the information reports based at least in part on the sensor data. The method may additionally include combining validated information reports into a driving information map. The method may also include periodically filtering the driving information map to remove outdated information reports. The method may further include providing portions of the driving information map to autonomous vehicles within the fleet of autonomous vehicles.

Abstract: A method for encapsulating a catalyst in a dispersed polymer particle comprising dissolving a Group 8 to Group 11 transition metal containing catalyst and a self-dispersing polymer in a solvent; adding water and optionally a base under particle forming conditions to form a dispersed polymer encapsulated catalyst comprising particles having a population number average diameter between 10 and 300 nanometers is provided.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle may access portions of a map to maneuver a roadway. The map may be split into one or more levels that represent different regions in space. For example, an overpass may be represented by one level while the road below the overpass may be on a separate level. A vehicle traveling on a particular level may use map data that is associated with that level. Furthermore, if the vehicle travels through a warp zone, it may transition from the current level to a destination level and thus begin to use map data associated with the destination level.

Abstract: A composition containing succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor and a potentiator has been discovered to enhance the activity of the succinate dehydrogenase such that the amount of the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor need to effectively treat a microbial substance can be reduced substantially. The compositions may be used as additives for paints and coatings, and protecting crops, seeds, wallboard, metal working fluids, wood from mold, fungi and other microbes.

Abstract: A joint for a rehabilitation device and a rehabilitation device are disclosed. The joint is defined for operation between an end of a first member and an end of a second member. The joint enables the second member to pivot at the joint with respect to the first member. The joint includes a positioning mechanism for defining a set position from which the second member pivots. The joint also includes a restriction mechanism for restricting the degree of pivoting of the second member, from the set position. The joint further includes a biasing mechanism for biasing the second member such that it returns to the set position when an opposing force applied to the second member is less than the bias of the biasing mechanism. When the joint is in the set position, the biasing mechanism is configured such that no bias is applied to the second member.
