Abstract: A system for a vehicle includes a vehicle processor disposed to control a drive system, and a memory for storing executable instructions. The vehicle processor is programmed to execute the instructions to determine, via the vehicle processor, a localization of a mobile device using a tethered wireless connection between the mobile device and the vehicle, receive, via the processor, an absolute heading of the mobile device, determine, via the vehicle processor, based on the localization of the mobile device, a relative bearing angle from the mobile device to the vehicle. The system may use the tethered wireless connection and the relative bearing angle from the mobile device to the vehicle to determine that a user is actuating a Human Machine Interface (HMI) element indicative of user attention to a remote parking maneuver and complete the remote parking maneuver.

Abstract: Computer memory arrays employing memory banks and integrated serializer/de-serializer circuits for supporting serialization/de-serialization of read/write data in burst read/write modes, and related methods are disclosed. The memory array can include a serialization circuit configured to convert parallel data streams of read data received from separately switched memory banks into a single, serialized, read data stream in a burst read mode. The memory array can also include a de-serialization circuit configured to convert a received, serialized write data stream on an input bus for a write operation into separate, parallel write data streams to be written simultaneously to the memory banks in a burst write mode.

Abstract: Different computing methods and systems to at least compose at least a portion of a story are disclosed. In one embodiment, the story can be presented by an electronic device. The device can include a sensor to sense the user, and a processor. The processor can become aware of an attribute of the user. The story can depend on the attribute. In one embodiment, the attribute can be a behavior of the user. In another embodiment, the attribute can be a location of the user, or a social network of the user. The story can include a story theme and a non-story theme. The story theme can convey a concept, and the non-story theme can include scenes, scripts and/or props. The attribute can affect the story theme, the non-story theme, or both.
Abstract: A plug assembly having valve chamber chargeable with pressure from above or below the plug assembly. The charged chamber is used to selectively move an external sleeve to open fluid communication between the tubular above and below the plug assembly.
Abstract: Examples provide a configurable divider bridge system. A divider bridge includes a tab at opposite ends of the divider bridge. The tabs insert into receiving slots inside a container, such as a display case or packing container. The receiving slots guide the tabs downward between the interior sides of the container and items placed inside the container. As the tabs slide down into the receiving slots, the side panels of the divider bridge are guided into an unfolded configuration. The slots permit installation of the divider bridge into the container which already contains soft product easily while preventing damage to the divider or the soft product. The divider bridge can be placed inside the container in a variety of configurations and/or orientations to accommodate a variety of sizes and shapes of containers and types of items being stored, transported, or displayed within the containers.

Abstract: A training process produces a machine-learned model that, once trained, can be applied to process different types of data items. The training process accomplishes this result by combining data items in a training set with type-specific parameter information, to produce supplemented data items. The training process then trains a model based on the supplemented data items. Training involves adjusting model weights together with the type-specific parameter information. In an inference stage of processing, the technology combines a new data item with an appropriate type of trained parameter information, and then maps the resultant supplemented data item to an output data item. The technology is particularly effective in adapting an initial model to a new subject matter domain in those situations in which a robust set of data items that pertain to the subject matter domain and which have a desired type is lacking.
Abstract: Described herein are borate salts useful as additives, binders, and electrolyte salts for solid state lithium ion batteries. In particular, the borate salts of Formula (I), Formula (II) and Formula (III) as described herein: can be bound to an existing polymer to provide polymeric binders for ceramic solid state electrolytes that are themselves capable of ion transport independent of the ceramic.

Abstract: A method for installing an add-on device onto a blade of a wind turbine includes configuring a plurality of tag lines to a wrap, the tag lines having a length to extend to a ground location when the add-on device is positioned on the blade. With the rotor, positioning the blade to a first rotated position. The add-on device is located at a desired span-wise location on the blade such that the wrap forms an open-sleeve configuration draped around the leading edge of the blade and span-wise sides of the wrap extend along pressure and suction sides of the blade adjacent a trailing edge of the blade. With the tag lines, the wrap is tensioned against the blade. Attachment devices configured with the wrap are affixed to the trailing edge of the blade.
