Abstract: A multiple bearing locking mechanism module comprising driver bearings, track bearings, slidable boltlock blocks comprised of springs (or magnetic equivalent) and a crossbolt therein. One or more modules are controlled by a master boltlock bolt/vault either by axial or vertical movement depending on embodiment, thus compressing one or more driver bearings into the track bearings. The track bearings expand into the slidable boltlock blocks housing the crossbolt—slidably disposed in the bearing track—compressing the crossbolt into the bossbolt locking port, manifesting the locked state. The multiple bearing locking mechanism module can be encompassed in but not limited to, gate locks, safes, briefcases, toolboxes, toy boxes, multiple shackle padlocks, door locks, cable locks, et cetera.
Abstract: As disclosed herein, the technology relates to firearms including a modular trigger mechanism designed with the capability to provide a practice pistol that accurately and realistically mimics various models of center fire pistols and firearms. In one embodiment, a trigger mechanism comprising a static sear, trigger, and sear bar. In another embodiment, the trigger mechanism provides the user of a practice pistol the realistic sense of a center fire pistol trigger in that its positional geometry, weight of pull, weight at break, and trigger position at disconnect reset point, will perform within a realistic range.
Abstract: The automated generation of a web site preview based on a web site identifier, where the web site preview has one or more controls that facilitate connection to one or more endpoints. In response to receiving the web site identifier from the client computing system, the service uses the web site identifier to navigate to the web site identified by the web site identifier. After navigating to that web site, the service accesses an action identifier and an associated endpoint identifier from the web site. The service then generates preview data representing a preview of the web site represented by the web site identifier. The service provides the preview data to the client, where the preview with the control is rendered, so as to facilitate connection with the associated endpoint of the control.

Abstract: A drive axle system and a method of control. A control system determines a torque command based on an inverter temperature, a stator temperature of a stator of an electric motor, and a rotor temperature of a rotor of the electric motor. The electric motor is operated to provide torque based on the torque command.
Abstract: A hydroblaster includes a carriage. A plurality of bearings is rotatably mounted to the carriage at a bottom portion of the carriage. A plurality of legs is mounted to the carriage at the bottom portion of the carriage. The plurality of legs extend downwardly from the bottom portion of the carriage past the plurality of bearings. A fluid conduit is disposed on the carriage at a top portion of the carriage. A first motor is mounted to the carriage at the top portion of the carriage. The first motor is coupled to the fluid conduit such that the first motor is operable to rotate the fluid conduit. A second motor is mounted to the carriage at the top portion of the carriage. The second motor is coupled to a gear positioned at the bottom portion of the carriage such that the second motor is operable to rotate the gear.
Abstract: Pro-toothpaste compositions formulated to receive a volume of allergen solution to provide toothpastes that exhibit efficacy for oral mucosal immunotherapy (OMIT) and acceptable consumer and product stability properties, along with kits of pro-toothpaste, allergen/extracts of allergens, and optionally compounding means and/or specialized toothbrushes are provided. Toothpastes suitable and effective for OMIT and methods for managing allergic symptoms and for reducing risk of allergy in people without symptoms employing the pro-toothpastes, toothpastes and kits of the invention are also disclosed.
Abstract: Restricting mobility between networks by identifying and rejecting incoming mobility events (e.g. handovers) from unknown cell sites based on a cellID included in a handover request. Core network nodes e.g. MME, AMF, SMF, can detect and reject the incoming mobility events by comparing Cell ID with a white list or referring to a database. This improves over current 3GPP specifications and network vendor implementations that support restriction policies on the source but not on the target.
Abstract: A vehicle includes friction brakes, an electronic park brake system, and controllers. The controllers, responsive to the vehicle coming to a stop, and the vehicle being on plug, a driver door of the vehicle being open, or a driver seatbelt being unbuckled, issue a standstill friction brake request for the friction brakes and an electronic park brake request for the electronic park brake system. The controllers also, responsive to engagement of the electronic park brake system, discontinue the issue of the standstill friction brake request.

Abstract: Piping loops can carry either forced or natural circulation coolant flow from and back to a nuclear reactor depending on reactor and coolant state, and can transition between the two. The loop flows into a heat exchanger that cools the coolant and may even condense the coolant. The heat exchanger can drive natural circulation coolant flow, and a pump on the loop can drive forced circulation. Coolant direction may be reversed through the heat exchanger in different modes. Loops may be installed directly on existing isolation condenser systems or come off of a primary loop generating electricity commercially. Actuation valves may isolate and actuate the system merely by disallowing or allowing coolant flow. Different flow modes and coolant direction may be similarly achieved by pump actuation and/or valve opening/closing. Beyond the pump and simple valve actuation, loops may be entirely passive.
Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to detecting inbound and outbound traffic. In some embodiments, there is provided a system for detecting inbound and outbound traffic at a facility including a video camera and a control circuit configured to detect a human and estimate a location of the human; determine whether the detected human is inbound or outbound the facility based on a relative movement of the detected human within a first region, a second region, and a third region; and transmit data based on the determination.

Abstract: An apparatus for identifying when an individual is in proximity to an object having a length has a sensor portion having a wire loop through which electric current runs and creates an electromagnetic field that emanates about the wire loop. The wire loop extending along at least a third of the length of the object. The apparatus has a personal alarm device that is worn by the individual which detects the presence of the magnetic field emanating from the wire loop when the personal alarm device is in the magnetic field and produces a signal indicating the personal alarm device is within the magnetic field. Alternatively, the sensor portion extends from a contiguous boundary up to 500 meters, where the boundary has a geometry that is linear or meandering. A head piece for an individual's head. A method for identifying when an individual is in proximity to an object. A field extension module. A proximity device.
