Abstract: A vehicle detection system warns snowmobilers of other approaching vehicles with potential risk of collision. To better prevent accidents, the system calculates collision risks and warns the rider based on level of risk. When riding in groups, a member can press a stop request button to ask the group to slow down. When a member exits the group, everyone in the group will receive a message, alerts or indication with the update. The vehicle detection system utilizes Bluetooth® low energy (BLE), LoRaWAN® technologies and/or global positioning system technologies and is designed to detect other devices in the region and use acquired information to calculate proximity and risk of collision.

One or more foot support members is disposed inboard from the support member. A support leg is removably securable to the attachment element of the support member. The support leg includes a mounting feature securable to a rear suspension component disposed below an upper surface of a drive track.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a quantum computing method is described. In some aspects, a control system in a quantum computing system assigns subsets of qubit devices in a quantum processor to respective cores. The control system identifies boundary qubit devices residing between the cores in the quantum processor and generates control sequences for each respective core. A signal delivery system in communication with the control system and the quantum processor receives control signals to execute the control sequences, and the control signals are applied to the respective cores in the quantum processor.

Abstract: A weapon is capable of firing cased telescoped (CT) ammunition rounds. The weapon includes a barrel, a chamber member that defines a chamber configured to hold a CT round for firing from the weapon, a non-rotating carrier body, and linkage. The linkage is constructed and arranged to move the chamber member (i) from a firing position in which the chamber member is aligned with the barrel for firing the CT round to an ejection/loading position in which the chamber member is not aligned with the barrel for ejecting a spent CT round and receiving a next CT round in response to the non-rotating carrier body moving away from the barrel, and (ii) from the ejection/loading position to the firing position in response to the non-rotating carrier body moving toward the barrel.

Abstract: A belt-fed weapon includes an upper part defining a feed tray cavity, and a feed tray in the feed tray cavity, wherein the feed tray and feed-tray cavity are co-configured for lateral sliding insertion and removal of the feed tray to and from an installed position in the feed tray cavity. The arrangement enables insertion and removal of the feed tray without interference with an installed scope or similar optic, enabling maintenance or field stripping without requiring removal or re-sighting of the scope.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a system for reducing labeled sample quantities required to update test sets. The computer-implemented method includes inputting a portion of unlabeled production data into a base model and generating labeled output relating to the unlabeled production data. The computer-implemented method also includes inputting the labeled output into a performance predictor. The performance predictor is a meta model of the base model that is trained with another portion of the unlabeled production data, a training set used to train the base model, and a test set portioned from the training set. The computer-implemented method further includes outputting, by the performance predictor, a performance metric relating to the labeled output produced by the trained base model. The performance metric can be any metric capable of measuring the output performance of the base model.

Abstract: Hybrid on-policy/off-policy techniques are provided for improving the estimation of quality (reward) of a control policy for decision making by combining the on-policy and off-policy data from multiple estimators into a single metric. In one aspect, a method for estimating a reward of a policy for decision making in a computer system includes: computing multiple reward estimates of the policy using estimators, wherein at least a subset of the estimators compute reward estimates with prediction intervals; and combining the multiple reward estimates using a combiner to produce a new reward estimate. Thus, some of the estimators might compute the reward estimates without prediction intervals. A method for estimating a reward of a policy when another one or more of the estimators compute reward estimates without prediction intervals is also provided.

Abstract: A firearm for firing cased telescoped (CT) ammunition cartridges that includes a split chamber configured to fully support a CT cartridge when it is fired, and that includes i) a dynamic rear chamber portion defining a pocket in a face of a bolt, and ii) a static front chamber portion that is integral to the barrel and separate from the bolt.

An ejector is operable to eject the CT cartridge from the pocket in the face of the bolt when the CT cartridge reaches the ejection position.
