Abstract: A vehicle assembly includes a vehicle body and a driver seat. The vehicle body defines a driver compartment having a first door with a first window and a second door with a second window. The driver seat is disposed within the driver compartment. When the driver seat is in a position that accommodates an operator being in a 95th male height percentile, the operator within the driver seat can see out of (i) the first window at a first angle relative to a forward looking direction that is parallel with a longitudinal axis of the vehicle body and (ii) the second window at a second angle relative to the forward looking direction. Each of the first angle and the second angle is at least 95 degrees.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software products analyze foot strikes. A runner profile defining characteristics of a user and a shoe type of the shoes is received. Shoe characteristics are retrieved based upon the shoe type. A model of shoe wear is configured based upon both the runner profile and the shoe characteristics. Sensor data indicative of movement of a runner's foot is received from a foot strike monitor configured with the shoes and processed through the model to determine a user's expected lifetime for the shoes. The user's expected lifetime is indicated to the user.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel compositions and novel in-situ process for making small average particle size, narrow distribution FAI in oil. The process comprises preparing FAI; separately optionally heating oil; adding oil to FAI in a molten state; heating to defined temperature; and cooling the heated mixture at a defined, controlled rate which ensures proper size and distribution are met.

Abstract: The invention claims a device for facilitating the effective cleaning of grill grates by taking the exact shape of the grill grate itself. This is possible doe to a large number of small diameter pins that move independently of each other. When pressed against the grill grate the pins m contact with the grate itself will be displaced upward and the pins in between the grates will move downward. This movement allows the device to take the exact shape of each individual grate. When the device takes the shape of the grate it can easily be locked in place allowing effective scraping of the grates. When finished scraping one particular size and shape grate the device can easily be unlocked and placed on a flat surface to even out the pins, then placed on another grate of a completely different shape and size, pressed down, have it take the exact shape, lock in place and effectively scrape this grate. This can be repeated over and over for most any shape or size grill grate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for “Wake on Application” (WOA). An Information Handling System (IHS) may include a logic circuit and a memory having instructions that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: receive a WOA packet while the IHS is in a first power state, where the WOA packet identifies at least one of a software application or virtual server residing within the IHS; and, in response to having received the WOA packet, operate in a second power state and launch the software application or wake up the virtual server. A method may include originating, via a first IHS, a single WOA packet; and transmitting the single WOA packet over a network, where the single WOA packet is configured to cause a second IHS to switch operation from a first power state to a second power state, and to launch a software application or wake up a virtual server.

Abstract: A programmable logic controller (PLC) with changing memory access times is intended to interact with a subordinate system, i.e., a discontinuous virtualized system, wherein a computation apparatus is provided, in which the PLC is implemented and in which the system that is subordinate to the PLC with respect to an operation to access the memory access is implemented. A memory to which a component of the PLC has access is integrated in the PLC. Also implemented in the computation apparatus is a proxy device that coordinates access to the memory of the PLC by the subordinate system such that simultaneous access by the component of the PLC has priority over access by the subordinate system and it is thus possible to ensure that the PLC always complies with a predefined cycle time of the PLC.
