Abstract: Electronic badges are indirectly tracked by detecting, by a badge communicator on a select industrial vehicle of a fleet of industrial vehicles, the presence of an electronic badge and performing a badge logging transaction in response to detecting the electronic badge. The badge logging transaction includes receiving, by the badge communicator, a badge identifier transmitted by the detected electronic badge. The badge logging transaction also includes determining, by the badge communicator, an offset measurement of the electronic badge relative to the select industrial vehicle, electronically determining a vehicle location of the select industrial vehicle, and identifying a badge location based upon the determined vehicle location and the measured offset. The badge logging transaction can also include generating a time stamp, and wirelessly communicating a badge locator message to a remote server, the badge locator message including the badge identifier, the badge location, and the timestamp.

Abstract: A device for controlling visibility and access to central venous access devices is comprised of a two-sided body fitted around the torso of a patient. The device has an interior surface and an exterior surface. The interior surface is fitted with a layer of absorbent, wicking material and further includes strips of anti-slip material to fix the device in place. A flexible window is positioned between two lumen retaining flaps and fixed between the interior and exterior surfaces. The lumen retaining flaps create pockets to store and protect lumens attached to intravenous tubing. The body includes a flexible closure including a resilient gauze section to provide flexibility and size adjustability. The window allows visual access to the percutaneous site and prevents patient tampering.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, static code analysis is performed by designating a first portion of the computer code as base line code. A check run is then performed on the base line code, resulting in one or more findings, with each finding identifying a flaw in the base line code discovered by the check run. The one or more findings may then be designated as a base line. Then a subsequent check run on a modified version of the computer code is performed, resulting in one or more subsequent findings. The one or more findings of the base line are then subtracted from the one or more subsequent findings, resulting in a modified version of the one or more subsequent findings. The modified version of the one or more subsequent findings may then be displayed on a display.

Abstract: A lift truck includes a frame, a pair of laterally spaced apart outriggers extending from the frame, and a load handling assembly secured to the frame adjacent to the outriggers. The load handling assembly includes a mast assembly positioned between the outriggers and a carriage assembly including fork structure for supporting a load on the load handling assembly. The carriage assembly is movable vertically along the mast assembly and laterally with respect to the mast assembly. Optical sensor structure of the truck monitors for conditions wherein movement of the carriage assembly would result in contact between the load and the outrigger(s). A vehicle controller receives a signal from the optical sensor structure and prevents movement of the carriage assembly toward the outrigger(s) if the signal from the optical sensor structure indicates that such movement would result in contact between the load and the outrigger(s).

Abstract: A surface with selectable adhesion is achieved by a shape memory alloy that is at least partly coated with a polymer forming a surface structure, thus allowing the adhesion force of the surface to be controlled.

Abstract: A method for producing organic-inorganic composite materials includes at least one biomineralising protein and/or polypeptide-encoding recombinant polynucleotide being introduced into at least one host cell, preferably from the class of slime moulds, and the expressed protein and/or polypeptide influencing the formation of inorganic particles in an extracellular matrix of the host cell.

Abstract: In a method for determining at least one trafficable area in the surroundings of a motor vehicle relevant for vehicle guidance, e.g., for ascertaining an evasion trajectory for a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle, at least one object detection sensor of the vehicle detects objects or obstacles in the surroundings of the motor vehicle, and the chronological sequence of occupancy information of the at least one object detection sensor of the motor vehicle regarding at least one detected object is taken into consideration.

Abstract: A method and system for determining free spaces in the vicinity of a motor vehicle, in particular a vicinity relevant to the vehicle operation, is provided. A method and system for determining an evasion trajectory for a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle is provided in which information from at least one object detection sensor of the motor vehicle about at least one detected object is used while taking the characteristics of the physical measuring principle of the at least one object detection sensor into account.
