Abstract: An automated method of controlling a speed of a vehicle includes identifying parameters of a driving instance of the vehicle; identifying a predetermined profile that is applicable to the driving instance based on the identified parameters; identifying a predetermined speed policy applicable to the driving instance based on the identified profile; and implementing the identified speed policy during the driving instance. The method may be repeated during the driving instance, whereby the speed policy that is implemented is automatically updated when one or more changes in the identified parameters cause a different predetermined speed policy to be identified. Parameter may include driver parameters (e.g., driver age and driver experience); vehicle parameters (e.g., vehicle age, mileage, and tire wear) tire maintenance information); behavior parameters (e.g., speed, acceleration, hard braking of the vehicle, following distance, swerving, and cornering); and circumstance parameters (e.g.

Processing circuitry is configured to communicate with the one or more vehicle beacons and perform at least one of: determine, before the processing circuitry enters a sleep state, a first vehicle position on the guideway; determine, after the processing circuitry wakes from the sleep state, a second vehicle position on the guideway; determine, after the processing circuitry wakes from the sleep state, any difference between the first vehicle position on the guideway and the second vehicle position on the guideway; determine a third vehicle position on the guideway using range measurements taken at configurable time intervals; and determine a vehicle speed where speed is measured as a change in the third vehicle position over time.

Abstract: An attachment system may include a panel and a flexible length of strands. The panel has a first face, a second face, an edge between the first face and the second face, and an opening extending through and non-parallel to the first face and the second face. The flexible length of strands extends through the opening. The flexible length of strands includes a first portion of the length comprising bundled portions of the strands extending along the first face and a second portion of the flexible length comprising splayed portions of the strands extending from the first portion along the second face.

Abstract: A pin for a pinned joint includes a hollow body with a first and second end caps coupled to first and second ends, respectively. The body and the end caps at least partially define a cavity within the body, wherein at least one aperture extends through the hollow body. A main piston is slidably disposed within the cavity and divides the cavity into a first chamber proximate to the first end and a second chamber proximate to the second end and fluidly isolated from an environment around the body. A lubricant is disposed within the first chamber. The main piston moves toward the first end of the body when a pressure in the second chamber is greater than a pressure of the environment. Movement of the main piston toward the first end of the body discharges lubricant through the at least one aperture.

Abstract: As with many human physiological systems, issues within the central nervous system can arise for individuals leading to a variety of neurological disorders including, but not limited to, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Alzheimer' disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, demyelination, and axonal degeneration. However, culture devices presently provide researchers with limitations in their research. Embodiments of the invention aims to address these various limitations and allow studies, methods and screenings which cannot be performed with prior art culture devices. These include reducing manufacturing complexity, volumes of pharmaceuticals and cells required, allowing use in fields other than neurobiology, improved adhesion within the desired micro-channel regions of the devices, and increasing cell survival in cultures.

Abstract: System and method for producing an adversarial article that may be used to disrupt an automated visual tracking process. An input module receives input related to a specific automated visual tracking process. Based on that input, a pattern-design module generates an adversarial pattern. The adversarial pattern may then be applied to an article, which may be any kind of physical or virtual object. The tracker's normal processing modes are disrupted when the tracker attempts to process an image containing the adversarial article(s). The tracker may be mounted on an autonomous vehicle, a mobile robot, or other mobile or stationary camera surveillance system.

Abstract: The tracer projectile having a closure disk assembly is described. The tracer projectile includes a projectile base with a tracer cavity formed therein. A pyrotechnic charge is pressed into the tracer cavity and is ignitable by burning propellant such that a trajectory of the projectile is visible when fired. A closure disk assembly covers and seals the tracer cavity. A crown of the closure disk assembly is supported on a ring flange formed by an annular groove in the projectile base. A sidewall of the closure disk assembly surrounds the ring flange. A retaining element is disposed in the annular groove and engages a rim of the closure disk assembly for securing the closure disk assembly to the projectile base over the tracer cavity.
