Abstract: Yard management systems and methods are described. A yard management system comprises a database holding load information, a mobile application associated with a user account and executable on a mobile device. The mobile application when executed acquires the identifications of the load, queries the database for the load information, and generates a machine-readable representation corresponding to the identifications of the load, an autonomous yard vehicle configured to mechanically couple with a cargo trailer. The system further comprises a computing system programmed to, in response to detecting the mobile device at the transfer location, navigate to the cargo trailer and guide the coupling between the autonomous yard vehicle and the cargo trailer.

Abstract: A method of operating a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, includes the steps of receiving a message from roadside infrastructure via an electronic receiver and providing, by a computer system in communication with said electronic receiver, instructions based on the message to automatically implement countermeasure behavior by a vehicle system. Additionally or alternatively, the method may include the steps of receiving a message from another vehicle via an electronic receiver and providing, by a computer system in communication with said electronic receiver, instructions based on the message to automatically implement countermeasure behavior by a vehicle system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the discovery that the expression levels of some RNA molecules, comprising messenger RNA (mRNA), non-coding RNA (ncRNA) and/or microRNA (miRNA), and protein can be used as a diagnostic signature to predict or monitor the bone healing ability in an acutely injured subject or in a chronic nonunion subject. In certain embodiments, the invention relates to methods and compositions useful for differentiating between a nonunion, slow healing, and/or normal healing of a fractured bone and treatment recommendations. The invention further includes a kit comprising biomarker probes for assessing the bone healing ability in an acutely injured subject or in a nonunion subject after receiving therapeutic treatment.

Abstract: A method for operating an automated vehicle includes controlling by one or more computing devices an autonomous vehicle; receiving by one or more computing devices sensor data from the vehicle corresponding to moving objects in a vicinity of the vehicle; receiving by one or more computing devices road condition data; and determining by one or more computing devices undesirable locations related to the moving objects. The undesirable locations related to the moving objects for the vehicle are based at least in part on the road condition data. The step of controlling the vehicle includes avoiding the undesirable locations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for making macromolecular networks, macromolecular networks made by such processes, and methods of using such macromolecular networks to make materials such as ceramics. The macromolecular network's formation rate is controlled by using two species of reactants each of which comprised one functionality. This results in decreased macromolecular network processing costs and superior products.

Abstract: A method for consolidating reusable image components with multi-media contents is provided. The method includes defining a location in a content template for storing a library of reusable image components and multi-media contents. The method further includes transmitting at least one multi-media content of a digital asset management environment, wherein the transmitted at least one multi-media content is stored in the defined location of the content template with the library of reusable image components. The method further includes determining if the selected at least one multi-media content was transmitted, stored and, is present in the defined location of the content template. The method further includes generating in the defined location of authoring content template, another library of reusable image components of the at the least one multi-media content, if the at least one multi-media content is not confirmed present in the defined location of the content template.

Abstract: A novel method for isolating DNA from juices and ciders is described. This method is low cost and yield large quantities of highly purified DNA even though one uses a small quantity of juice or cider. A method for determining if a juice or cider is safe to consume and/or the quality of the juice or cider are also described. For these methods, one can perform qPCR on the DNA which can be obtained using the disclosed method or any other prior art method, and comparing the amount of DNA from microorganisms is present in the juice and/or cider to determine the safety and/or quality of the juice and/or cider. These methods work even if the liquid was pasteurized.
