Abstract: A system has memory that stores instructions executable by the processor to instruct operation of at least one vehicle system (e.g., braking system, propulsion system, steering system, suspension system) in a minimum time mode for travel of the vehicle from a starting point to a destination point of a roadway. The system collects roadway data for the roadway from the starting point to the destination point. Based on the roadway data, the system determine a minimum time path from the starting point to the destination point and speed along the minimum time path. In response to a maximum acceleration input from a human driver of the vehicle when the vehicle is at the starting point, the system initiates the minimum time mode and instructs operation of at least one vehicle system to pursue the minimum time path and speed along the minimum time path from starting point to destination point.

Abstract: Solid-state lighting devices including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lens arrangements for packaged LED devices are disclosed. An LED package may include one or more LED chips on a submount with a lens positioned on the submount to form a cavity. The one or more LED chips may reside in the cavity without direct encapsulation materials that would otherwise contact the one or more LED chips and any corresponding wirebonds. In this manner, the one or more LED chips may be driven with higher drive currents while reducing degradation and mechanical strain effects related to differences in coefficients of thermal expansion with typical encapsulant materials. LED packages may also be configured with one or more apertures that allow air flow between an interior volume of a cavity and an ambient environment outside the LED package to promote heat dissipation at higher drive currents.

Abstract: Medical devices that are formed from a polymeric matrix including a first polymer and a functionalized polymer are provided. The medical devices may include a functionalized polymer such as maleic anhydride functionalized polymer. The burst strength and/or the hoop strength of the medical devices including the functionalized polymer may be greater than the burst strength and/or the hoop strength of control medical devices. However, the durometer of the medical devices may be substantially equal to the durometer of the control medical devices. Methods of manufacturing medical devices including a functionalized polymer are also provided.

Abstract: A roof assembly for a work vehicle includes a grab rail and a grab rail support coupled to the grab rail. The grab rail support is configured to couple to a roof structure of the roof assembly, the grab rail support is configured to support the grab rail on the roof structure, the grab rail support has a hollow passage configured to facilitate passage of a wire, and the grab rail support has an inlet to the hollow passage configured to be positioned at an interior of the roof structure to enable the wire to extend from the interior of the roof structure into the hollow passage.

Abstract: Customization of sharing of rides can involve the grouping of passengers in vehicles according to objective and subjective parameters and preferences. In some embodiments, vehicles or other components of the system are equipped to identify and compare information about users of the system using biometric scanning. In some embodiments, fares for rideshares can be tied to a projected quality or desirability of the rideshare for a user or users of the system.

Abstract: Social media-based contest management systems and methods are disclosed. Participants submit and vote for short videos. The votes are tallied, and the winning videos are presented on a post leaderboard. Users creating and submitting winning videos may receive rewards such as points that may be used to purchase items in an online store. Non-fungible tokens (NFT) may be associated with the videos, and the price of an NFT may be set according to the position of the video on the post leaderboard.

Abstract: Light-emitting diode (LED) packages and more particularly LED packages with directional emission intensity and color uniformity are disclosed. LED packages include one or more LED chips on a submount with arrangements of light-altering materials and lumiphoric material layers that provide directional light emissions with improved color over angle uniformity. Light-altering materials are provided that cover sidewalls of LED chips while lumiphoric material layers cover LED chips and light-altering materials. Such LED packages may avoid the need to include encapsulation materials and/or lenses that would otherwise cover the lumiphoric material layers. As such, exterior light-exiting faces of LED packages are formed by surfaces of lumiphoric material layers.

Abstract: Purchasing, maintaining, and deriving revenue from mobile autonomous units is facilitated by providing a mobile autonomous unit marketplace in which equity shares in mobile autonomous units can be bought, sold and traded. Valuation of mobile autonomous units within the marketplace can be a function of a variety of factors such as the mobile autonomous unit's primary geographic region, and the number, diversity, and time management of revenue streams available to the mobile autonomous units.
