Abstract: Disclosed example robotic welding systems include: a robotic manipulator configured to manipulate a welding torch; a first input device attached to the robotic manipulator and configured to receive rotational and translational inputs; a second input device attached to the robotic manipulator and configured to receive a masking input; and a robot control system, comprising: a processor; and a machine readable storage medium comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: in response to activation of the masking input via the second input device, masking at least a portion of the inputs received via the first input device; and in response to inputs to the first input device, move the robotic manipulator according to the inputs and based on whether the inputs are masked.

Abstract: A system and method for adjusting a drivetrain comprising an e-axle on a vehicle comprises accessing route data and compressing the route data into a plurality of linearized segments. Each segment is determined by analyzing points along the route to determine when a set of route data points indicates an uphill, downhill, or flat segment. Using the segments, drivetrain configuration information for a vehicle and a weight of the vehicle, embodiments determine a performance plan that is tailored to the vehicle, including raising the e-axle to reduce rolling resistance on some segments and lowering the e-axle for some segments for increased power for acceleration, improved braking, or increased regenerative capabilities.

Abstract: A system and method for adjusting an operating parameter on a vehicle or a set of vehicles comprises accessing route data and compressing the route data into a plurality of linearized segments. Each segment is determined by analyzing points along the route to determine when a set of points indicates an uphill, downhill or flat segment. Using the segment information, configuration information for a vehicle and a weight of the vehicle, embodiments determine a performance plan that is tailored to the vehicle. The vehicle operates in accordance with the performance plan based on cost, environmental impact or extending vehicle operating life.

Abstract: A system is provided for workflow management of document processing utilizing one or more objects associated with a workflow, wherein at least one object is imported from an external database. The system creates or edits templates in a template editor utilizing the display device, and stores, in a template, rendering-data received through a builder interface. The system maps to a workflow a template set whose criterion is satisfied by one of the objects associated with the workflow. The system generates a workflow of documents that are each rendered from the stored rendering-data in a template within a template set mapped to the workflow.

Abstract: A system is provided for generating a letter of medical necessity based upon a specification sheet. The system receives a specification sheet creation request from a vendor that includes information regarding a client, a clinician, a vendor, a physician, a primary equipment item, equipment accessories, a client assessment, client photos, customized comment fields, and client measurements. The specification sheet requires a final review for vendor verification and modification. Upon completion, the vendor submits the specification sheet, with a completion deadline, to the specified clinician. After the clinician is alerted to, and approves, the specification sheet, data from the specification sheet is imported to assist the clinician in drafting a letter of medical necessity. The clinician is required to modify template letter text, and upon completion, downloads the letter of medical necessity, whereupon the vendor is notified of the completion of the letter of medical necessity.

Abstract: The systems disclosed is an internet based application that allows clinical professionals to write letters of medical necessity to justify therapeutic services and devices recommended by physicians and/or clinicians. The letters of medical necessity are intended to be read by reviewers who determine whether or not a service or deice is medically necessary. The system herein requires that either a clinician or vendor begin the process by logging on the internet web site and agree to the user agreements as well as HIPAA compliance measures. Upon all information being entered into the system and justifications from a physician for the services and/or devices, the letter of medical necessity is then generated, signed by the clinician and sent to the third party payer for payment consideration.

Abstract: A lug nut assembly is provided for securing a wheel rim defining at least one aperture to a wheel hub including at least one threaded stud extending from the wheel hub. The lug nut assembly comprises an elongated sleeve that includes a central bore that defines a longitudinal axis. The elongated sleeve has a secured end rotatably secured to the wheel rim and an opposed distal end extending outwardly from the rim. The sleeve includes at least one wrench engaging surface. A nut, having a central threaded bore that is adapted to matingly engage the threaded stud, is slidably mounted within the sleeve to move coaxially along the longitudinal axis of the sleeve. Means are provided for preventing independent rotation of the sleeve relative to the nut.
