Abstract: A first request may be received from a loader to create a first file handle corresponding to a first library, where the first request may include a first identifier corresponding to the first library, and where the loader may be part of an operating system of a computer system. It may be determined that the first library is to be proxied by a second library. The first identifier in the first request may be replaced with a second identifier corresponding to the second library. The first file handle may be created based on the first request. The first file handle may be provided to the loader. An export section of a first image corresponding to the first file handle may be customized when the first image is mapped into a memory.
Abstract: A multi-battery flash charging system is described herein. The system is configured to reduce a power charging loss at a battery-operated device. This device includes multiple, distributed batteries. The process of reducing the power charging loss at the battery-operated device is achieved by generating a charge voltage at a charge voltage regulator that is required to be located externally relative to a housing of the battery-operated device. Reducing the power charging loss at the battery-operated device is further achieved by transmitting the charge voltage over a high resistance wire that couples the charge voltage regulator to the battery-operated device.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides desensitized fertilizer compositions that are resistant to detonation. The desensitized fertilizer compositions of the present disclosure are formed, under heat, from a reaction product of a base fertilizer material, such as ammonium nitrate, and a phosphate-based additive, such as ammonium polyphosphate. The resulting compositions include monoammonium phosphate (MAP), diammonium phosphate (DAP), and polyphosphate crystals distributed throughout the crystalline fertilizer material. The presence of the distributed MAP and DAP crystals is believed to stabilize the base fertilizer material and reduce or eliminate the detonation potential of the fertilizer material.

Abstract: A ceiling system is provided for use in a building space. The ceiling system has an open cell grid structure and is attached to a support structure of the building via hanging hardware. The open cell grid structure is constructed of a plurality of bottom panels attached to the hanging hardware, a plurality of middle panels attached to the plurality of bottom panels, and a plurality of top panels attached to the plurality of middle panels. The bottom, middle, and top panels are arranged in a plurality of rows and arranged to ensure that the plurality of panels form an interconnected system capable of being extended to any size desired by a user.
Abstract: A control system for a vehicle may include one or more processors configured to execute instructions to receive, by one or more modules of the vehicle control system, a request to pair an accessory with the vehicle and determine, by the one or more modules of the vehicle control system, whether the accessory is preconfigured for pairing with the vehicle. In response to determining that the accessory is preconfigured for pairing with the vehicle, the one or more processors are configured to execute instructions to pair, by the one or more modules of the vehicle control system, the accessory with the vehicle and cause, by the one or more modules of the vehicle control system, a display of the vehicle to display a user interface customized for the accessory as paired with the vehicle.
Abstract: Improved couplers for a building foundation support system include helical ribs and helical grooves in combination with an integrated spring retainer element that automatically snaps into place as the couplers are engaged. Rotational and axial interlocking attachment of support piles is therefore possible without utilizing separately provided fasteners such as bolts.
Abstract: A vehicle seating system includes a seatback pivotally coupled to a seat base. The seatback is operable between an upright position and a reclined position. A lift assembly is operably coupled to the seat base. The lift assembly is operable between a disengaged position and an engaged position. A position sensor is coupled to the lift assembly via a ball joint, wherein the ball joint and the position sensor adjust with movement of the lift assembly. A seat controller communicatively is coupled to the position sensor, wherein the seat controller determines if the lift assembly is in the disengaged position or has moved to the engaged position based on position data received from the position sensor.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of motor mounts for attaching a motor to an input shaft of trailer landing gear. One embodiment of the motor mount has an L-shaped frame bracket having first and second plates at right angle. The first plate is secured to a frame part of the trailer. The motor mount also has an L-shaped motor bracket having first and second plates at a right angle. The motor bracket first plate has an opening therethrough. The motor bracket second plate is secured to the frame bracket second plate. A gearbox is operatively connected to the electric motor and is secured to the motor bracket first plate. The gearbox has an outwardly extending drive mechanism that extends through the opening in the motor bracket first plate and connects to the landing gear input shaft. Another embodiment is a Z-shaped motor mount that includes first, second, and third plates.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates a method of 3-dimensional printing a printed part. The method comprises printing an inkjet dopant composition at selected locations on a layer of build material comprising polymer particles. The inkjet dopant composition comprises a dopant dispersed or dissolved in a liquid carrier. Polymer particles at selected areas of the layer of build material are then fused to form a fused polymer layer comprising the dopant. The selected areas of the layer of build material include areas of the layer of build material that have not been printed with the inkjet dopant composition.
Abstract: A stacked plurality of alternating laminations and adhesive layers of a rotor are arranged such that each of the adhesive layers bonds an outer periphery of an adjacent pair of the laminations together. Each of the laminations includes a plurality of interlocks, disposed about a central region of the lamination radially inside the outer periphery and lacking presence of any of the adhesive layers, that engage a same adjacent one of the laminations.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a first image may be captured by an imaging device using a first parameter. Using a prediction model, (i) an action to be taken for the first image and (ii) a second parameter of the imaging device may be determined based on the first image. Based on the action, a request may be transmitted to the imaging device to capture a second image using the second parameter. In response to the imaging device capturing the second image, the first image may be replaced with the second image.
Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe using machine learning to lock and unlock a device. Machine learning may be trained to recognize one or more features. Once the device has been trained to recognize one or more features, a user may define an unlock condition for the device using the one or more trained features. After defining the unlock condition, the device may be locked by verifying the one or more features that the user defined as the unlock condition using machine learning. When verification is successful, the device may be unlocked and the user allowed to access the device.
