Abstract: Various embodiments include a computer memory system that dynamically adjusts a memory device performance feature, such as dynamic assist control, dynamic turbo mode, and/or the like, to improve the performance of memory devices in the memory system. The memory system enables or disables the memory device performance feature based on the operating voltage relative to a threshold voltage. If the operating voltage crosses the threshold voltage in one direction, then the memory device system enables the memory device performance feature. If the operating voltage crosses the threshold voltage in another direction, then the memory system disables the memory device performance feature. Various techniques enable the memory device performance feature to be employed even with complex integrated circuits that may include tens of thousands of devices that employ the memory device performance feature.

Abstract: A vehicle steering system includes an input configured to receive a signal representing a target steering angle, an output configured to provide a torque output command to a steering motor based on the target steering angle, and a torque limiter module configured to receive the torque output command and apply a torque limit thereto, prior to the torque output command being provided to the steering motor. The torque limit is configurable dynamically based on at least one vehicle parameter.

Abstract: An automated wrapping system for wrapping a substrate with a material includes a support and a nest mounted to the support that is configured to position the material between an outer portion of the substrate and the nest. The automated wrapping system also includes a material folding assembly positioned adjacent to the nest configured for movement between a rest position and an actuated position, wherein the movement of the material folding system to the actuated position engages and folds the free end portion of the material over the edge of the substrate and onto a part of the inner portion of the substrate while retaining the material against the edge of the substrate. An actuator connected to the material folding assembly moves the material folding assembly between the rest position and the actuated position.

Abstract: As described herein, a N-Gram index may be created and the search may be conducted using the index, which will lead to faster search results. The N-Gram index may also include partial N-Gram components to capture more relevant data. Moreover, as described herein, the search may also take into account recent log data that has not yet been indexed. Techniques for building an index store using log data and efficiently searching the index store and log data to process search requests are described herein.

Abstract: A folding step system includes a housing forming an interior space and a step comprising a step surface. The step is movable between a stowed configuration in which substantially all of the step surface is disposed within the interior space and a deployed configuration in which at least a portion of the step surface is disposed outside of the interior space and at least a portion of the step surface is disposed within the interior space.

Abstract: An aircraft includes a fuselage having a former therein and a work platform system. The work platform system includes a platform that is moveable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. The work platform system also has a hinge pin received by the platform. A platform stop is carried by the former and configured to inhibit rotation of the platform about the hinge pin when the platform is in the deployed configuration. The hinge pin is carried by the former.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present a valve assembly that includes a valve body having a gas passage bore, a valving bore extending along a longitudinal axis and intersecting the gas passage bore, a first bearing surface concentric with the longitudinal axis and a radially spaced apart second bearing surface concentric with the longitudinal axis, wherein an interface of the gas passage bore and the valving bore defines a flow port radially intermediate the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface. The valve assembly further includes a shaft valve extending along the longitudinal axis and rotatably mounted in the valving bore.

Abstract: A tail rotor assembly coupled to a tailboom of a helicopter includes a tail rotor gearbox having top, bottom and aft sides and a shroud surrounding the tail rotor gearbox. The shroud includes a shroud airframe having top and bottom portions. The tail rotor assembly includes a tail rotor gearbox support assembly configured to support the tail rotor gearbox within the shroud. The tail rotor gearbox support assembly includes a support column coupling the aft side of the tail rotor gearbox between the top and bottom portions of the shroud airframe, an upper support crossbar coupling the top side of the tail rotor gearbox between the support column and the tailboom airframe and a lower support crossbar coupling the bottom side of the tail rotor gearbox between the support column and the tailboom airframe.

Abstract: Techniques described herein can allow users to share cached results of an original query with other users while protecting sensitive information. The techniques described herein can check whether the other users have access to the underlying data queried before allowing those users to see the stored query results. That is, the system may perform privilege checks on the shared users before giving them access to the stored query results but without having to re-run the original query.

Abstract: A directional core drilling includes an outer barrel assembly with at least one steering pad for orientating a drill bit within a hole and a drive barrel rotationally supported within the outer barrel assembly. An inner drive assembly is receivable within the outer barrel assembly and includes a torque latch assembly and an anti-rotation bearing assembly. The torque latch assembly includes latch arms configured to releasably couple a rotational drive input to the drive barrel. A core barrel is coupled to the anti-rotation bearing assembly and is rotationally fixed relative to the drive barrel.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a urostomy drain tube device primarily comprised of a first end that is further comprised of a receiver, and a second end that is further comprised of an outlet and a cap, wherein both ends are connected by tubing. The receiver of the first end preferably attaches to the existing nipple or opening on the bottom of a conventional urostomy pouch, and the button allows a user to control the flow of urine from the pouch into the receiver. Thus, once the button is depressed, urine can enter the receiver and travel through the tubing and out the outlet into a toilet or urinal.
