Abstract: A wireless access node indicates available Radio Access Technology (RAT) types to a User Equipment (UE). The UE selects from the available RAT types and indicates the UE-selected RAT types to the wireless access node. The wireless access node transfers the UE-selected RAT types to a network controller. The network controller selects from the UE-selected RAT types and indicates the network-selected RAT types for the UE to the wireless access node. The wireless access node indicates the network-selected RAT types to the UE. In response, the UE and the wireless access node simultaneously exchange user data using the network-selected RAT types.
Abstract: A data stream processing system is operable to generate key assignment data indicating assignment of each of a plurality of subsets of a plurality of possible keys to a plurality of feed receiver modules by assigning one owner feed receiver module of the plurality of feed receiver modules to each key of the plurality of possible keys for a plurality of incoming messages, and by further assigning a set of follower feed receiver modules of the plurality of feed receiver modules to the each key of the plurality of possible keys. The plurality of incoming messages are processed via the plurality of feed receiver modules based on the key assignment data.
Abstract: A system and method for the overcurrent protection in an electric vehicle is illustrated. The system comprises an electric vehicle charging port that includes an AC pin, a DC pin, a sensor, and a controller. The electric vehicle charging port also includes a protection circuit, wherein the protection circuit is configured to control a transmission of power through the electric vehicle charging port.
Abstract: A multi-rack bracket of a vegetation and drying system includes a triangular-shaped main plate, a pair of side plates extending perpendicularly from opposing edges of the main plate, and first and second flanges extending vertically from the respective side plates and configured to capture a vertical support shaft therebetween. The multi-rack bracket is configured to secure the vertical support shaft and a pair of shafts of a leg assembly to one another.
Abstract: A shingle includes a substrate having an asphalt coating on a top surface of the substrate and on a bottom surface of the substrate. A surface layer of granules is embedded in the asphalt on the top surface of the substrate. A backdust layer of particles is embedded in the asphalt on the bottom surface of the substrate. A sealant is disposed on the backdust. A hydrophobic material is applied to the sealant.

Abstract: A vehicle lighting assembly includes a primary lens and a light source on a first side of the primary lens. The light source is configured to emit light through the primary lens. A light blade is on an opposite, second side of the primary lens. A secondary lens covers a portion of the light blade. A vehicle lighting method includes emitting light from a light source, directing the light through a primary lens, directing the light from the primary lens through a light blade, and directing the light from the light blade through a secondary lens.

Abstract: Embodiments use a multi-modal approach to generate software programs that match a solution program description. The solution program description may include natural language, input-output examples, partial source code, desired operators, or other hints. Some embodiments use optimized prompts to a pre-trained language model to obtain initial candidate programs. Maximal program components are extracted and then recombined variously using component-based synthesis. Beam search reduces a solution program search space by discarding some candidates from a given synthesis iteration. Relevance metrics, string similarity metrics, operator frequency distributions, token rareness scores, and other optimizations may be employed. By virtue of optimizations and the multi-modal approach, a solution program may be obtained after fewer iterations than by use of a language model alone.

Abstract: The Delivery Butler is an apparatus that creates a level surface in a vehicle's passenger seat, for the purpose of transporting items like pizza, take-out food containers, cakes and flower arrangements. The apparatus has adjustable legs and a hinged connection between its base panel and rear panel, which allows the receiving surface to be adjusted to level. The apparatus is belted into a seat, and can include a non-slip receiving surface and a fence structure on the receiving surface. The apparatus does not require any modifications to a passenger seat, and can be dismantled by hand and stored virtually flat.
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for an exhaust demand control system for measuring one or more contaminants at one or more exhaust locations within one or a plurality of exhaust ducts or plenums served by an exhaust fan system. Example systems and methods can include sensing the one or more contaminants within the one or more exhaust duct locations using a multipoint air sampling system having one or more sensors and flow control elements, comparing contaminant concentration measurements from the one or more of said exhaust duct or plenum locations against an action level to create a fan setback signal, and ensuring sensor accuracy and reliability by implementing a sensor protective mode when the contaminant concentration measurements from the one or more exhaust locations exceeds an action level.
Abstract: A glove may include a hand body, the hand body being at least partially elastic, where the hand body defines a hand pocket configured to receive a user's hand, and a wrist body. The glove may also include a hand pad pocket formed in the hand body and configured to removably receive at least one hand pad, where the hand pad pocket is separated from the hand pocket by a separator, as well as a wrist padding pocket formed in the wrist body configured to removably receive a wrist pad. The hand pad pocket may be positioned in an interior of the glove.
