Abstract: An exemplary embodiment may provide a process for providing digital twins by parsing a dataset into a tabulated format and forming multiple silos from the dataset. The silos may include relational databases related to the digital twins. Personas may be formed as algorithms which specialize in a particular silo. An exemplary embodiment may be agnostic to the specific application and/or domain specific. Advanced cron jobs may feed digital twins (“personas”) that autonomously adjust behavior based on search criteria-specialization and synthesized analysis of both inputs and outputs. Exemplary personas may be constructed with machine learning, artificial intelligence, stored procedures, and unique specialized databasing to generate reporting, modify data, and socialize with other personas in agreed upon spaces to create control within a three-dimensional world in IoT networks.

Abstract: A fuel injector for an internal combustion engine comprising a nozzle body having at least one spray hole. The at least one spray hole has a hole entry on the inside of the nozzle body and a hole exit on the outside of the nozzle body. The spray hole is provided with a hole entry section which, starting from the hole entry, has a flow area which decreases from a relatively larger flow area at the hole entry to a relatively small flow area at the intersection between the end of the hole entry section and the start of a hole exit section. The hole exit section, starting from the intersection with the hole entry section, has a flow area which increases from a relatively small flow area at the intersection with the hole entry section to a relatively larger flow area at the hole exit.

Abstract: A wearable oxygen concentrator system is provided. The wearable oxygen concentrator system includes a pumping system configured to receive air and to remove nitrogen gas from the air to obtain concentrated oxygen. The pumping system is further configured to deliver the concentrated oxygen via a cannula tube to a person. The wearable oxygen concentrator system further includes a clothing member configured to be worn by the person. The clothing member is configured to hold the pumping system therein.

Abstract: A method for controlling a steering system, including, receiving a first signal representative of a torque applied to a steering wheel, receiving a second signal representative of a motor velocity of a motor operatively linked to the steering wheel, multiplying the first signal with the second signal resulting in a product signal, applying a backlash function to the product signal, wherein the backlash function imparts a defined hysteresis in the system, multiplying a defined first-third quadrant scaling factor with an active damping signal, and sending a resultant motor command signal to the motor responsive to determining that the product signal is a positive signal, and multiplying a defined second-fourth quadrant scaling factor with the active damping signal, and sending the resultant motor command signal to the motor responsive to determining that the product signal is a negative signal.

Abstract: A driver circuit is described for an ion measuring device associated with a cylinder of a diesel engine for the measurement of the conductivity of the combustion gas present in the cylinder, wherein a negative voltage can be applied by the driver circuit to a glow plug serving as a sensor and associated with the cylinder for a respective ion measurement. The negative voltage is generated by a capacitor which is correspondingly charged each time the glow plug is switched off via the magnetic energy stored in the internal inductance of the glow plug.

Abstract: An antenna disposed on glass including first and second spatially separated grid portions is disclosed. The first grid portion is electromagnetically coupled to the second grid portion to provide reception of AM and FM signals.

Abstract: A method for implementing active deadtime control of an inverter associated with an electric motor is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the method includes receiving a command voltage signal indicative of a desired load to be driven by the motor. Based upon the value of the command voltage signal, a determined value of deadtime is applied to switching circuitry in the inverter, wherein the value of deadtime relates to an amount of time in which the switching of a device in the switching circuitry is delayed so as to prevent a short circuit condition within the inverter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a modularly constructed plug connector comprising at least one plug module which can be plugged into a housing module and can be latched in the housing module, wherein the plug module and the housing module are in each case formed for receiving contact elements, and wherein the plug module has a locking arrangement at least at one outer side by means of which contact elements which are arranged in the plug module and/or in the housing module can be locked.

Abstract: The vehicle steering column has a rake adjustment and a telescope adjustment. The adjustment mechanism includes a compression bracket with a telescope slot, a rake bracket with a rake slot and a rake bolt that passes through the telescope slot and the rake slot. A wedge lock is mounted on the rake bolt and positioned in the rake slot and the telescope slot. Rake and telescope teeth on the wedge lock are held out of engagement with a rake tooth rack and a telescope tooth rack during rake and telescope adjustment. The rake bolt is tightened to hold a selected adjustment position and the telescope teeth on the wedge lock engage the telescope tooth rack. During a collision the rake teeth on the wedge lock are moved into engagement with the rake tooth rack to fix the rake and telescope adjustments.

Abstract: A device for externally referenced ratiometric signal processing includes an external signal source and a control module. The external signal source has an external voltage reference supply for generating an external reference voltage and a gain & offset circuit for generating a signal voltage. The value of the signal voltage is varies so that the ratio of the signal voltage to the external reference voltage is proportional to the position of a transducer. The control module receives the signal voltage and the external voltage reference. The control module includes an analog to digital converter that converts the signal voltage to a digital signal. The digital signal is proportional to the ratio of the signal voltage to the external reference voltage. A microprocessor may then use the digital signal to infer the position of the transducer.

The valve member comprises a first region of substantially frusto-conical form defining a seating surface which is engageable with a valve seating surface, defined by the blind bore, to control fuel delivery from the injection nozzle, and a second region arranged such that, when the valve member is seated against the valve seating surface, in use, the second region is located downstream of the valve seating surface. The first region subtends a first cone angle which is greater than a second cone angle subtended by the second region.
