Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for determining a vehicle location based on optical camera communication (OCC).

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for forming a pipe assembly. The method comprises: providing a composite pipe (112) having an inner diameter; providing a liner (110) having a first outer diameter which is smaller than the inner diameter of the composite pipe; placing the liner (110) in the composite pipe (112); and expanding the liner such that the liner has a second outer diameter which is greater than the first outer diameter, and an outer surface of the liner is in contact with an inner surface of the composite pipe, so as to form a pipe assembly including said composite pipe and said liner.

Abstract: Surprising antiviral activity of 3-amino-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-4-(3H)-quinazolinone (Compound 1) was reported in the treatment or prevention of viral infections, particularly in combination with other antiviral agents such as interferon and/or ribavarin.

Abstract: A method of controlling outdoor ground processing operations of two or more work vehicles (15, 260, 270, 280, 290, 300), involves running a computer model (100, 110, 120) of the operations using a number of candidate schedules of the ground processing operations using predicted conditions, the operations involving work vehicle movements and work vehicle processing tasks, at least one of the operations for one of the work vehicles being a dependent operation, being dependent on another (25) of the work vehicles. An overall schedule for the operations is generated and used to control actual execution of the ground processing operations by the work vehicles. The computer model is updated as changes in the conditions occur as monitored during the actual execution, and used to adapt the actual execution of a remaining part of the ground processing operations.

Abstract: A “generic” switch messaging protocol is disclosed for message handling and switch supervision in conjunction with a number of switching engines, each of which is conversant with the generic messaging protocol, each switching engine also being conversant with a specific switch messaging protocol. An object oriented development system is also disclosed utilizing a “generic” switch messaging protocol and a plurality of switching engines, each of which is conversant with the generic messaging protocol and each of which is conversant with a specific switch messaging protocol. Certain switch messages are not “genericized” because their functionality is different from the functionality of other switches. These messages generally include initialization and maintenance messages which are hardware specific and have no counterpart in another switch from a different vendor.
