Abstract: A display system comprises a current source, pulse circuitry, a pulsed laser, control circuitry, and a display surface. The pulse circuitry outputs a first pulse of electrical current based upon electrical current emitted by the current source. The pulsed laser emits first light based upon the first pulse, wherein luminance of the first light is based upon a first amplitude of the first pulse. The control circuitry generates an estimate of pulse history effects on second light that is to be emitted by the pulsed laser, the estimate is generated based upon a parameter of the first pulse and a desired luminance of the second light. The control circuitry causes the pulse circuitry to output a second pulse of electrical current based upon the estimate. Based upon the second pulse, the pulsed laser emits second light with the desired luminance.

Abstract: An illumination apparatus comprises an array of micro-LEDs, an aligned plurality of directional catadioptric optical elements, light redirecting micro-optics and a reflective polariser. The directional illumination apparatus is arranged to provide a uniform spatial distribution across its output area by recirculating reflected high luminous intensity regions into low luminous intensity regions of the catadioptric optical element. A thin and efficient illumination apparatus with high spatial uniformity may be provided for illumination in environmental lighting, display backlighting or direct display.

Abstract: A mechanical planer board that is arranged for use on both the right and left sides of a towing boat and is further adapted to move from a boat side position to a boat rear position upon a fish strike. The planer board includes a body having a housing, a float, an internal assembly, and at least one line clip having a tow arm. The tow arm maintains the line clip in towing configuration until a fish strike pulls a trigger pin to release the tow arm thereby allowing it to swing and lock in a forward position. The board may further include an indicator device to alert the fisher of board location.

The one or more dosing containers may house cosmetic product and provide applicators that may be interchangeable with the handle. A magnetic closure may be utilized to attach the one or more dosing containers to the handle. The cosmetic dosing system or kit may provide a luxurious display that may reduce contamination of cosmetic product and prevent cosmetic product from drying.

Abstract: A technique provides a RAID resiliency set from a plurality of storage devices. The technique involves identifying a minimum sub-RRS width based on a predefined RAID level to be enforced on the RRS. The technique further involves, based on the minimum sub-RRS width, allocating segments from the plurality of storage devices to create a maximum number of sub-RRSs. The technique further involves forming the RRS from the created maximum number of sub-RRSs.

One method includes storing registration information for a plurality of user devices accessing a remote file storage system, the registration information including a unique identifier of each user device and an identifier of an antivirus software installed locally on each user device. The method also includes, in response to detecting an infected file within the remote file storage system, determining a unique identifier of one of the a user device included in the plurality of user devices interacting with the infected file, accessing the registration information to identify, based on the unique identifier of the user device interacting with the infected file within the remote file storage system, an identifier of antivirus software installed locally on the user device, and remotely initiating the antivirus software installed locally on the user device based on the identifier of the antivirus software.

Abstract: A method of controlling fuel delivery to an engine includes providing a fluid atomizer, a mechanically driven air compressor, a start up air source, and an air valve coupled between the mechanically driven air compressor and the start up air source, charging the start up air source, delivering compressed air from the start up air source to the fluid atomizer, providing an initial air/fluid mixture with the fluid atomizer, and operating the air valve to direct compressed air from the mechanically driven air compressor to the fluid atomizer.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system receives a captured image perceiving an environment of an ADV from an image capturing device of the ADV. The system identifies an obstacle in motion near the ADV based on the captured image. The system predicts a location for the moving obstacle at each of a number of time points. The system generates a probability ellipse based on the predicted location at the each time point, where the probability ellipse includes a probability indicator indicating different probabilities of the moving obstacle for different locations within the probability ellipse at the each time point.

Abstract: A method includes providing a length of pipeline that has a housing defining a central bore extending the length of the pipe and a space formed within the housing and extending the length of the pipe. At least one condition within the space is continuously monitored within the space to detect in real time if a change in the housing occurs.

Abstract: A reserve fuel tank retention and control (RTRC) module and a method of operating a vehicle including an engine and a main fuel tank containing a fuel, the method including mounting the RTRC module onto the vehicle; fluidly connecting the RTRC module to the engine and to the main fuel tank; actuating a valve of the RTRC module for a predetermined time to purge moisture in a fuel supply hose into the engine; and upon the main fuel tank becoming empty, actuating the valve to allow fuel from the reserve fuel tank to supply the engine.

Abstract: A technology is described for a repeater. A repeater can comprise a first port; a second port; a first-direction amplification and filtering path coupled between the first port and the second port; a multiplexer coupled between: the first-direction amplification and filtering path; and the second port; and a power amplifier (PA) coupled between the first port and the multiplexer. The repeater can further comprise an adjustable matching network coupled between the PA and the multiplexer, wherein the adjustable matching network is actively adjusted to match an impedance of an output of the PA at a selected channel over a frequency range for a first-direction signal with an impedance of an input of the multiplexer over the selected channel over the frequency range for a first-direction signal.
