Abstract: A method for single-handed microgesture input comprises receiving hand tracking data for a hand of a user. A set of microgesture targets that include software functions are assigned to positions along a length of a first finger. The received hand tracking data is analyzed by a gesture recognition machine. A location of a thumbtip of the hand of the user is determined relative to the positions along the first finger. Responsive to determining that the thumbtip is within a threshold distance of the first finger at a first position along the length of the first finger, a corresponding first microgesture target is designated for selection. Selection of the first microgesture target is enabled based on a duration the thumbtip is at the first position. Responsive to detecting a confirmation action, the corresponding microgesture target executes.

Abstract: A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive one or more parameters of a vehicle condition to be monitored, allocate an unreserved parameter identifier to each of the parameters, assign respective memory spaces to each of the allocated unreserved parameter identifiers, and store the parameters in the memory spaces.
Abstract: A stabilized lithium metal oxide cathode material comprises microparticles of lithium metal oxide in which individual particles thereof a core of lithium metal oxide and a coating of a different lithium metal oxide surrounding the core. There is an interface layer between the cores and the coatings in which there are gradients of metal ions in the direction of coating to core. The materials are made by a three stage process involving coprecipitating precursor metal hydroxide core particles at a controlled pH; coprecipitating a different metal hydroxide coating on the particles without controlling the pH; and then calcining the resulting coated precursor particles with lithium hydroxide to form the stabilized lithium metal oxide material.
Abstract: A fiber optic cable slack management module includes a base defining a first cable management spool, an outer face of which is configured to contact cables when cables are pulled away from the base and a second cable management spool, within which the first cable management spool is located. An inner face of the second cable management spool is configured to contact cables when cables are in a relaxed, non-pulled state. The fiber optic cable slack management module defines a cable exit adjacent the first cable management spool and defined at least partially by the inner face of the second cable management spool, the cable exit defined by a channel positioned between the first and second cable management spools.

Abstract: A system used to dislodge and, if necessary, sever a tubular string that is stuck within a cased wellbore. The system utilizes a jar, a plurality of plugs, and a tubular severance device. Components of the system are carried to their respective desired downhole positions by downward fluid flow within the wellbore. The jar is configured to jar the string in an effort to dislodge the string from its stuck point. The plugs are configured to fill open perforations formed in the casing in order to direct the fluid toward the stuck point and away from the perforations. If the string cannot be freed by the jar, the tubular severance device is deployed within the string above the stuck point. Detonation of the device severs the string above the stuck point.
Abstract: A perforation gun that includes a monolithic bulkhead electrical contact that includes no resilient members but that is resiliently coupled to two perforating guns. The bulkhead electrical contact is configured to transmit a signal across a bulkhead from one gun to another gun.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a traction battery and a controller. The controller, responsive to some cells of the traction battery achieving a first state of charge threshold, discharge other cells of the traction battery, each having a capacity greater than each of the some of the cells, to a second state of charge threshold that is greater than the first state of charge threshold without discharging the some of the cells. The controller then charges all of the cells at the same time such that the some of the cells and the other of the cells achieve a same predetermined target state of charge at a same time.

Abstract: The present technology can be used to control the current injection profile in the longitudinal direction of a high-power diode laser in order to optimize current densities as a function of position in the cavity to promote higher reliable output power and increase the electrical to optical conversion efficiency of the device beyond the level which can be achieved without application of this technique. This approach can be utilized, e.g., in the fabrication of semiconductor laser chips to improve the output power and wall plug efficiency for applications requiring improved performance operation.
