Abstract: A system and process anonymize a user identity, location, and information on the Internet by fragmenting a user request for information from a targeted site, or delivery of user information thereto, into multiple, separate requests/deliveries that are each routed through unrelated, random remote computers or nodes. The fragmented requests each gather or send a piece of information from or to the target site, and bits of information are returned through yet other random nodes. Through this disintegrated approach, the location and identity of the user and the content of the information are untraceable.

Abstract: A method of encoding and decoding user interface interactions includes receiving a query from a user captured by an assistant-enabled device associated with the user. The query includes a user intent for interacting with an application. The method includes obtaining, for the application, a set of categorized actions.

Abstract: A brake controller determines if an amount of regenerative braking needed to achieve a requested deceleration will exceed a driveline capability of a tractor. If it will, the brake controller redistributes some of the requested deceleration to a braking system of a trailer. That way, the requested deceleration can be achieved by the combination of regenerative braking of the tractor and the braking system of the trailer. Other braking mechanism(s) of the tractor can also be used, if needed.
