Abstract: The present disclosure describes a battery connector for cylindrical battery cells having a positively charged anode contiguous with the circular, or oval, first end, a negatively charged cathode contiguous with the circular, or oval, second end, and straight parallel sides electrically connected with said cathode. The battery connector has an electrically nonconductive outer shell, open-ended on one side, with a cylindrical inner cavity into which one end of the battery cell is inserted. In the preferred embodiment, the nonconductive outer shell is comprised of plastic. In another embodiment, the nonconductive outer shell may be comprised of a Silicon-based material, but other embodiments are also possible. In the preferred embodiment, the nonconductive outer shell is sufficiently tall, and the cylindrical cavity's diameter is sufficiently narrow, to substantially prevent either the anode or the cathode of the battery cell from contacting both battery terminals simultaneously.

Abstract: Software code is tested to determine relative performance of the software code. Successfully executing a test may be used to flag problems in a code repository to be corrected or criteria for accepting code for acceptance to the repository. To further evaluate test results, the test may be run several times on the same code version to determine a test result stability score describing how the test results may vary in different executions, such as a frequency that the code passes the test. Based on the score, additional tests may be run to further refine test result stability score. To evaluate time-variance of testing, when a code version fails a test, a previous version of the code may be run with the same test and the results compared to determine if a new regression was introduced.

Abstract: An articulated support fixture for a wind turbine blade includes a base frame with first and second bearing slide areas and first and second bearing blocks disposed to slide thereabout, each bearing block including a laterally oriented bearing. A fixture mount with a laterally oriented axle engages the laterally oriented bearings enabling the fixture mount to articulate about the lateral axle. The first and second bearing slide areas are configured to enable the first and second bearing blocks, together with the fixture mount, to slide along a generally longitudinal path, and to enable rotation of the fixture mount about a vertical axis as the first and second bearing blocks cooperatively slide upon the first and second bearing slide areas. A wind turbine blade interface is attached to the fixture mount, to enable engagement with, and support of, the wind turbine blade.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for systems and methods for generating blockchain tokens as tokenized versions of live assets stored in a vault. A server verifies live assets and mints vault-backed title NFTs to blockchain wallets. The server executes software (e.g., dApp; smart contract) for minting a vault-backed title NFT as UDA token corresponding one-to-one with the live asset, or optionally as a set of COA tokens, including the title NFT and a set of fungible access tokens having a subset of privileges or rights derived from the title token. The server hosts an online marketplace where users may purchase or sell the asset tokens (e.g., title NFTs or the access tokens), or may submit redemption requests for triggering or accessing privileges afforded by the asset tokens or redeeming (“unchaining”) the live assets.

Abstract: A system for optimizing ownership cost of a fleet having electric vehicles includes a command unit adapted to selectively execute a simulation module, a sampling module and an optimization module. The command unit is configured to construct a multi-agent model based at least partially on historical fleet trip data and mobility pattern data of the fleet. Route data for a set of fleet tasks is obtained, including charging infrastructure data. The command unit is configured to simulate different configurations of the electric vehicles carrying out the set of fleet tasks over a predefined period, via the simulation module, based in part on the multi-agent model and the route data. The command unit is configured to determine an optimal configuration from the different configurations of the electric vehicles, via the optimization module. The optimal configuration minimizes investment and operational costs of the fleet.

Abstract: Reinforcing filaments or fibers, such as aromatic polyamide (aramid) fibers, can be reliably measured and consistently mixed into asphalt cement concrete by soaking the fibers in a wetting agent, then severing them to a desired length, and mixing the segments with other ACC ingredients. The wetting agent holds the fibers together loosely, so they can be distributed more uniformly throughout the ACC without clumping. The wetting agent soaks into the ACC mixture and/or evaporates, leaving the reinforcing fibers behind.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for gaze matching. In some examples, processing circuitry determines a position of an object of interest for a first user, and receives first one or more images of the first user that is taken by a camera at a camera position different from the position of the object of interest. The processing circuitry detects a first vergence of eyes of the first user, calculates a mismatch of the first vergence for viewing the object of interest, and performs a gaze correction of the first one or more images based on the mismatch of the first vergence for viewing the object of interest.

Abstract: Methods and systems comprising a first portion of a model that includes a model component that is trained to perform sentiment analysis based on training data for a plurality of users (e.g., what language, phrases, and/or responses the population at large uses). The first portion of the model also includes a model component that is trained to identify user intent based on the sentiment analysis that is specific to user groups. For example, the system first determines the likely context and/or meaning of communications of the user. The system then determines a likely intent of the user based on the likely context and/or meaning of communications (e.g., based on a correlation of the meaning of communications of the user and the intents of users corresponding to a user group of the user).

Abstract: A ramp for use and integration with bicycle carriers for automobiles. The integrated ramp allows a user to roll a bicycle onto the bicycle carrier without using a separate ramp. The integrated ramp may include one or more integrated or removable ramp components that attach to a wheel securement arm of the bicycle carrier. The ramp components may include a ramp portion that folds or moves from a stowed position to a deployed position. In the stowed position the ramp portion does not interfere with the use of the wheel securement arm of the bicycle carrier to hold a bicycle on the carrier. In the deployed position the ramp portion serves as a ramp for rolling a bicycle onto the carrier.
