Abstract: An electronic device includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board, and an interposer circuit board. The interposer circuit board defines a walled interface mechanically attaching the first circuit board to the second circuit board. One or more electronic circuit components are positioned within the walled interface and are mechanically attached to one of the first circuit board or the second circuit board. An electronic circuit interface component is mechanically attached to the first circuit board outside the walled interface. The electronic circuit interface component is electronically coupled to the one or more electronic circuit components.
Abstract: A method in an electronic device includes establishing, with a communication device, an electrical communication channel with a content presentation companion device. A communication device then queries the content presentation companion device for an identification of an aspect ratio of the content presentation companion device. A translation mechanism then causes a blade assembly carrying a flexible display to slide around a device housing sufficiently to reveal a front-facing area amount of the flexible display having dimensions corresponding to the aspect ratio. The method can also cause the front-facing area amount of the electronic device to match aspect ratios of other electronic device electronically in communication with the content presentation companion device.
Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide controlling an autonomous vehicle. For example, a first trajectory generated by a first planning system may be received. A portion of the first trajectory may be input into a second planning system. A second trajectory generated by the second planning system based on the portion of the first trajectory may be received. The second trajectory may be used to determine whether to validate the first trajectory, and when the second trajectory is determined to be validated, the autonomous vehicle may be enabled to be controlled based on the first trajectory.

Abstract: A fuel system comprises a first fuel rail. A first fuel delivery system, including a first plurality of fuel injectors, is connected to the first fuel rail. The first plurality of fuel injectors injects an amount of fuel into a first portion of an engine. A second fuel rail has a second fuel delivery system, including a second plurality of fuel injectors. The second plurality of fuel injectors inject an amount of fuel into a second portion of the engine, distinct from the first portion. A controller, operatively connected to the first fuel delivery system and the second fuel delivery system selectively enables and disables operation of the first fuel delivery system and the second fuel delivery system based on one of a detected temperature and a detected pressure of fuel passing to corresponding ones of the first plurality of fuel injectors and the second plurality of fuel injectors.

Abstract: A metrological technique in which the internal mass-density distribution of an object is obtained by measuring the object's inertia. The object is rotated about at least one arbitrary axis while dynamic properties are measured. Moment of inertia is derived from the torque and angular acceleration of the object, which can be used to calculate and estimate the internal mass-density distribution of the object.
Abstract: A low-profile universal passive protector for an IV catheter includes a connector having a tubular body and a pair of arms pivotally connected thereto. The tubular body defines an end face and the connector includes a cavity extending from the end face. An elongate sheath is snap engageable to the tubular body. A spring is insertable within the connector cavity to extend between at least one of the pair of arms and the elongate sheath when received within the cavity. A slider is moveably coupled to the sheath. The slider includes a flashback chamber formed therein. A hypodermic needle is connected to the slider and is in fluid communication with the flashback chamber. The slider is moveable along the sheath between a first position and a second position, with the hypodermic needle being drawn into the sheath as the slider moves from the first position toward the second position.

Abstract: A vehicle track system and assembly for outfitting vehicles for mobility in off-road conditions. Snow, mud, muck, soil, sand, ice, and other fickle conditions are more readily traversed. In an example, a hub assembly, a pair of drivers, a frame, a pair of rails, and a pair of tracks are all part of the vehicle track system and assembly. The drivers are incited to rotate by the hub assembly. The frame has multiple sets of frame members that are connected to the rails. And the tracks are furnished with numerous paddles and are driven to move via the drivers.
Abstract: A glenoid implant is provided and may include a body portion and a stem portion. The stem portion may extend from the body portion along a longitudinal axis. The body portion may include an articular side and a bone-engaging side opposite the articular side. At least a portion of the bone-engaging side may be disposed at a non-parallel angle relative to at least a peripheral edge of the articulation side.

Abstract: Drink containers include a liquid container and a cap assembly removably coupled to the liquid container. Cap assemblies include a switch, a trigger and seal bar. Upon actuating the trigger the seal bar slides back to form a drink outlet opening in the cap assembly. To hold the seal bar in an open state without additional external force from the user, the switch is slid from an unlocked position to a locked position, thereby keeping the drink outlet and a vent formed in the cap assembly open in order to cool down a warm beverage in the liquid container.
Abstract: To provide an enhanced user experience, a virtual reality device provides one or more virtual reality activities for selection based on a tempo of an audio input detected. The audio input can be ambient audio within proximity of a user of the virtual reality device. The tempo can be determined by the virtual reality device based, for example, on a beats per minute. The one or more virtual reality activities can be associated with a tempo, one or more user preferences, and/or historical data. The virtual reality device can automatically or allow a user to select a virtual reality virtual reality activity associated with the tempo. The virtual reality device can synchronize the selected virtual reality activity to the tempo.

Abstract: A tamper-evident label for a beverage cup is provided. The label includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and a middle portion defined within a label substrate. A second middle portion corresponding to the middle portion of the label substrate is defined in a liner substrate. Die cuts in the label substrate separate the top and bottom portions from the middle portion. The middle portion and the second middle portion separate together from the label as a single unit along the die cuts while the top portion and the bottom portion remain adhered to sides of the cup. Once the middle portion and the second middle portion are separated from the label, they are not capable of being reattached to the cup, which provides tamper-evident visual evidence of potential tampering with an opening of the cup to a consumer.
