Abstract: A method is proposed to complete a power-on upshift while a vehicle encounters wheel slip conditions such as driving in loose sand. The wheels slip conditions may be detected based on a maximum rate of change of an output shaft exceeding a threshold. In response to the wheel slip conditions, one or more shift parameters may be adjusted to bias the shift toward a tie-up and decrease the chance of a flare. These modified shift parameters may include an increased stroke pressure, a delayed off-going clutch release timing, and an increased ratio change capacity.

Abstract: In an example, the present invention provides a method for identifying a status of a user and providing feedback to the user based upon the status of the user. In an example, the method includes generating an electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) signal from an RF generating device and emitting the electromagnetic RF signal into a spatial region of a user. In an example, the method includes detecting a back scattered RF signal, using an RF receiving antenna, from the user and converting the back scattered RF signal from an RF analog signal into an RF digital signal.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for forming pellets, such as potash pellets, for example, are provided. The methods involve feeding agglomerate granules on to the operative surface of an assembly of rollers. The rollers are aligned to have parallel central rotational axes and there is a longitudinal gap between adjacent rollers. In order to form the pellets, the rollers are rotated to agitate and abrade the agglomerate granules on the operative surface of the assembly of rollers and form pellets.

Abstract: Provided herein are compounds that activate IRE1/XBP1s, and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds and methods of using the compounds for treating a subject having a disease or disorder that may be ameliorated by increasing IRE1/XBP1s activity.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine, a transmission, and a controller. The engine is configured to generate power. The transmission is configured to transfer power from the engine to at least one drive wheel to propel the vehicle. The controller is programmed to, in response to a command to shift the transmission and a corresponding command to decrease a torque of the engine to less than a threshold corresponding to a spark retard limit during the shift, (i) increase the pressure of an oncoming clutch to engage the oncoming clutch, (ii) retard an engine spark at the spark retard limit to reduce the torque of the engine to the threshold during the engagement of the oncoming clutch, and (iii) shutdown at least one cylinder of the engine to further reduce the torque of the engine to less than the threshold during the engagement of the oncoming clutch.

Abstract: Stabilised and aquated polymeric silicate compositions are described in which the compositions are poorly condensed compositions in which the silicates are resorbable and are capable of undergoing efficient dissolution to provide bioavailable soluble silicic acid. In particular, stabilised and aquated polymeric silicates are described that are capable of intravenous delivery, useful in the treatment of cancer or systemic infection, or for topical administration, e.g. in the form of a solid or semi-solid ointment useful in the treatment of wounds or the prevention of bacterial infection.

Abstract: In an example, the technique also detects and measures vital signs of each human target by continuous, non-intrusive method. In an example, the vital signs of interest include a heart rate and a respiratory rate, which can provide valuable information about the human's wellness. Additionally, the heart rate and respiratory rate can also be used to identify a particular person, if more than two target humans living in a home. Of course, there can be other variations, modifications, and alternatives.
