Abstract: An end fray resistant textile sleeve includes an elongate wall having warp yarns extending generally parallel to a longitudinal central axis of the sleeve and fill yarns extending circumferentially about the sleeve. The warp yarns include at least two different types of yarns, with one of the types of warp yarns including activateable yarns and another of the types of yarns including non-activateable yarns. The activateable yarns can be provided as being activateable by at least one of heat, fluid and/or pressure, such that upon being activated, the yarns are caused to bond with the adjacent non-activateable warp yarns, as well as with the weft yarns with which they make contact. As such, the activateable yarns, upon being activated, become fixed with abutting warp yarns and weft yarns, thereby inhibiting end fray from resulting during a subsequent cold-cutting operation as well as in use.

The prosthesis is designed to allow for the continuous, uninterrupted, simultaneous monitoring of a number of parameters of a patient's brain at the patient's bedside.

Abstract: An orbital lathe for in situ resurfacing a fifth wheel kingpin, having a pin axis, where the orbital lathe includes a support column generally axially aligned with the pin axis of the kingpin, a cutting tool mounted to the support column for rotation about the pin axis and having a first positioning mechanism for moving the cutting tool at least radially relative to the pin axis, a second positioning mechanism for rotating the cutting tool about a centerline axis generally orthogonal to the pin axis, and a third positioning mechanism for moving the cutting tool parallel to the centerline axis, and a drive mechanism for rotating the cutting tool about the pin axis to cause the cutting tool to remove material from the kingpin. The position of the cutting tool in relation to the centerline axis determines a surface roughness of the kingpin. Another embodiment of the orbital lathe and a method are also disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to an autonomous vehicle that may detect other nearby vehicles and designate stationary vehicles as being in one of a short-term stationary state or a long-term stationary state. This determination may be made based on various indicia, including visible indicia displayed by the detected vehicle and traffic control factors relating to the detected vehicle. For example, the autonomous vehicle may identify a detected vehicle as being in a long-term stationary state based on detection of hazard lights being displayed by the detected vehicle, as well as the absence of brake lights being displayed by the detected vehicle. The autonomous vehicle may then base its control strategy on the stationary state of the detected vehicle.

Abstract: Described are examples for overriding a library used by a workload in a cloud-computing environment including initializing a container for a workload that includes an entry point that points to a binary to be executed by the container, causing the workload to load, based on initializing the container, an override library into the container before executing the binary, where the override library includes an override function having a function signature of a function provided by the library, and instructing the workload to execute the binary in the container, where the binary calls the function using the function signature causing the override function in the override library to be called in place of the function.

Abstract: An emergency dispatch system may determine that an emergency vehicle has been dispatched to a predefined gated community, based on a dispatch address being within the gated community. The system may access a database to obtain a custom map pre-associated with the gated community. The system may also determine a path to an emergency location within the gated community, based on the custom map and send the path and the custom map to the vehicle, responsive to determining the path.

Abstract: A wireless communication network delivers policy enforcement to a wireless user device in another wireless communication network. The wireless communication network wirelessly serves the wireless user device based on a policy. The wireless communication network determines when the wireless user device is visiting the other wireless communication network, and in response, selects the policy for the wireless user device. The wireless communication network transfers the selected policy for the wireless user device to the other wireless communication network. The other wireless communication network receives and enforces the selected policy for the wireless user device.

Abstract: The subject matter described in this specification is directed to a system and techniques for operating an autonomous vehicle (AV) at a multi-way stop intersection. After detecting the AV is at a primary stopline of the multi-way stop intersection, a planned travel path though the multi-way stop intersection is obtained. If the planned travel path of the AV through the multi-way stop intersection satisfies a set of one or more clearance criteria, the AV proceeds past the primary stopline. The clearance criteria include a criterion that is satisfied in response to detecting the AV is clear to safely merge into a travel lane corresponding to the planned travel path.

Abstract: A multi-functional router base that includes associated components and various methods of use herein. The router base includes a base plate and an attachment assembly that is operably engaged with the base plate. The router base also includes a first attachment rod and a second attachment rod provided on the attachment assembly, where the first attachment rod and the second attachment rods are adapted to engage a router. The first attachment rod and the second attachment rod of the router base are linearly moveable relative to the base plate. As to the linear movement, the first attachment rod and the second attachment rod are transversely linearly moveable relative to one another and are vertically linearly moveable relative to the base plate based on the configuration of the router being operably engaged with the router base. An edge guiding fence may be operably engageable with the base plate.

Abstract: A tiltable vehicle has a pair of front wheels coupled to a tiltable chassis by a tilt linkage, such that the pair of front wheels and the chassis are configured to tilt in unison with respect to a roll axis of the chassis. The tilt linkage includes a four-bar linkage having a pair of upper bar segments coupled to the chassis at spaced-apart respective inboard joints. In some examples, the inboard joints of the upper bar segments are each disposed outboard of a central chassis joint of a lower bar of the tilt linkage. An orientation sensor is configured to detect directional information regarding a net force vector applied to the chassis, and a tilt actuator operatively coupled to the chassis and configured to selectively tilt the chassis. A controller is configured to selectively control the tilt actuator based on the directional information from the orientation sensor.

Abstract: A dewatering system for separating water from solids in dredged slurries in real-time, parallel to the dredging of harbors, stream, and lakes. Water removed from the solids can be returned to the body of water from which it came. After the system removes debris and sand from the slurry, the system removes capillary water the remaining fines and filters out most toxic particles.
