  • Publication number: 20230331168
    Abstract: Disclosed is a coupling member fixable to an end portion of a crossbar member. The coupling member includes at least two elongate coupling segments configured to be at least partially inserted in longitudinally extending interior spaces of the crossbar member wherein the interior spaces are separated by a common interior wall. Two adjacent coupling segments of the at least two elongate coupling segments are fixedly coupled to each other by means of a coupling portion. The coupling portion is configured to hold the elongate coupling segments at a predetermined distance with respect to each other to define a receiving space between the adjacent elongate coupling segments. The receiving space is configured for receiving a portion of the interior wall of the crossbar member.

  • Patent number: 11267027
    Abstract: The specification discloses a nonferrous extrusion system and process providing improved transfer of extrusions from the runout table to the cooling table. The runout table includes interleaved runout rollers and transfer rollers that are vertically shiftable with respect to one another. The transfer rollers additionally are horizontally shiftable between the runout table and the cooling table. The runout table receives extrusions in a longitudinal direction. The vertical and horizontal shifting of the rollers is controlled to transfer the extrusions from the runout table to the cooling table.

  • Patent number: 10901508
    Abstract: A method for analyzing electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is disclosed. EEG signals are received from a sensor coupled to a user. Contextual information from one or both of the user and the user's environment is also received. The EEG signals are processed in real time using a machine learning model to predict an action of the user, which is associated with the contextual information. Output associated with the predicted action is then generated.

  • Publication number: 20180342153
    Abstract: An autonomous traffic managing system, includes at least one motorized traffic controlling mobile platform, a traffic monitoring system for receiving real-time traffic data, and a traffic managing module. In response to the real-time traffic data received and analyzed by the traffic monitoring system the traffic controlling mobile platform can autonomously manage vehicle or pedestrian traffic within the traffic control zone using the traffic managing module. The real-time traffic data is received from at least one of: one or more cameras or sensors associated with the traffic controlling mobile platform; one or more off-board sensors; a drone; and a traffic monitoring application. A plurality of traffic controlling mobile platforms can be synchronized to autonomously control traffic flow in two directions or expand or contract the size of the traffic control zone.
