  • Shift control system and method for a vehicle having steering wheel paddle shifters and a console shifter
    Patent number: 10550931
    Abstract: A shift system and methodology for an automatic transmission of a vehicle is provided. The shift system includes a paddle shifter system configured to be controlled to manually shift gears of the transmission, and a manual gate console shifter system configured to be controlled to manually shift the gears of the transmission when in a manual gate shifting mode. A shift control system is configured to control shifting behavior of the transmission based on whether the paddle shifter system or manual gate shifting mode is activated. When the paddle shifter system is activated, the shift control system automatically upshifts a gear of the transmission when a speed of the engine exceeds a predetermined speed, and when the manual gate shifting mode is activated, the shift control system prevents automatically upshift a transmission gear when the speed of the engine exceeds the predetermined speed.

  • Providing domain-joined remote applications in a cloud environment
    Patent number: 10554646
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to provisioning private virtual machines in a public cloud and to managing private virtual machines hosted on a public cloud. In one scenario, a computer system receives authentication information for a private domain from an entity. The entity indicates that their private virtual machines are to be provisioned on a public cloud, where the entity's private domain is accessible using the authentication information. The computer system establishes a virtual network on the public cloud which is configured to host the entity's private virtual machines, where each virtual machine hosts remote applications. The computer system establishes an authenticated connection from the virtual network to the entity's private domain using the received authentication information and provides the entity's private virtual machines on the public cloud.

  • Bone putty and gel systems and methods
    Patent number: 10549011
    Abstract: A collagen-bone composition may include bone collagen and bone particles. The collagen may be in the form of a collagen suspension and the bone particles may be demineralized bone particles retained in collagen suspension. The composition may be prepared from pressure and thermal treatment of dry demineralized bone particles contacted with an aqueous medium to produce a viscous gel-like fluid. The fluid may include the collagen extracted from the demineralized bone particles. Addition of particulate bone may be used to increase the consistency of the composition, which may convert it into a paste or putty. The paste or putty may be suitable for ejection from a syringe. The collagen-bone composition may be preserved by freeze-drying or preferably by hypothermic dehydration. On reconstitution with aqueous medium, the preserved material may resume its original shape and properties.
