  • Publication number: 20260065774
    Abstract: A traffic control management system includes a secondary traffic signal control system operable to perform operations including: training ML models based on a training data set comprising traffic data to thereby obtain trained ML models, capturing traffic sensor data at the one or more neighboring/adjacent traffic intersections, deploying the trained ML models to predict traffic flow and determine an optimum traffic signal state at the traffic intersection based on the captured traffic sensor data, executing virtual emulation code to virtually emulate the traffic light apparatus and thereby obtain a virtually emulated traffic light apparatus, and autonomously controlling operation of the traffic light apparatus based on the determined optimum traffic signal state by linking a primary traffic signal controller of the primary traffic signal control system to the virtually emulated traffic light apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20250355993
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of application processors (APs), a plurality of flash memory devices associated with the plurality of APs, and a plurality of multiplexers, each to selectively couple a flash memory device of the plurality of flash memory devices to an AP of the plurality of APs. A controller is operatively coupled to the plurality of multiplexers and provides a trusted execution environment to execute a virtual root of trust (vROT) application for each respective AP of the plurality of APs. Each vROT application accesses a corresponding one or more of the plurality of flash memory devices via a corresponding one or more of the plurality of multiplexers.

  • Patent number: 11927293
    Abstract: A locking assembly for a door assembly of an agricultural vehicle includes: an actuator that defines an actuator axis and is linearly movable between a first position and a second position and rotatable about the actuator axis between a first locking orientation and a second locking orientation and includes a pair of locking features; a biaser configured to bias the actuator toward the first position; an energizer configured to bias the actuator toward the first locking orientation when the actuator is in the second locking orientation; and a lock configured to engage a second locking feature when the actuator is in the second locking orientation. Linear movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position while the actuator is in the second locking orientation causes the lock to disengage from the second locking feature so the energizer rotates the actuator towards the first locking orientation.

  • Publication number: 20080015045
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel visual golf club-head curvilinear path indicator and method of use. Specifically, the present invention provides a visual golf club-head curvilinear path guide in the form of one or more alignment lines or markings on putters and other club-heads that are curvilinear (instead of linear) and that curve toward the golfer's body as he or she stands at address. The curvilinear line (or lines) and/or shape (or shapes) are intended to provide the golfer with a visual reminder to move the club-head back and through along a curvilinear path.

  • Publication number: 20060220547
    Abstract: There is presented an electroluminescent phosphor powder of copper-activated zinc sulfide particles that has a size distribution with a D50 value of less than 12 ?m, and more preferably less than 10 ?m. The powder is preferably made by a method that includes the steps of combining copper-doped zinc sulfide with sulfur, zinc oxide and a chloride-containing flux to form a first mixture; preliminarily firing the first mixture and milling the preliminarily fired first mixture to form a milled material having a D50 value of less than or equal to about 5 ?m; blending the milled material with sulfur, zinc oxide and a chloride-containing flux to form a second mixture; firing the mixture in a first firing step at a temperature in a range of about 1020° C. to about 1080° C. to form a hexagonal zinc sulfide material; inducing defects into the hexagonal zinc sulfide material; firing the hexagonal zinc sulfide material in a second firing step at a temperature in a range of about 650° C. to about 850° C.

  • Publication number: 20060138389
    Abstract: The electroluminescent phosphor of this invention is comprised of zinc sulfide activated with copper and iodine and may produce an emission with an x color coordinate from 0.145 to 0.155 and a y color coordinate from 0.085 to 0.095. The phosphor preferably contains from about 0.08 to about 0.90 weight percent (wt. %) copper.
