Abstract: Described herein are thermal mass flow sensors that combine calorimetric and anemometric (e.g., hot-wire) elements to provide a hybrid approach to determining flow rate of a liquid. The flow probes or flow sensors are configured to use a heater to apply heat to a thermally-conducting material in contact with the flowing liquid, to measure a temperature of the thermally-conducting material upstream of the heater and downstream or at the heater, to adjust power to the heater to achieve a targeted temperature difference, and to determine a flow rate based at least in part on the power supplied to the heater and the measured temperatures. This approach provides flow rate due at least in part to the fluid cooling the thermally-conductive material proportionate to flow rate with non-linear effects. This hybrid approach can provide accurate readings of flow rates of liquids delivered through an IV line to a patient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an indoor stand with degrees of movement side gear for use with bicycles comprising two main components assembled in an integrated manner: 1) a rear roller and 2) a front stand that attaches to the fork, instead of the front wheel, in which springs or cushions below the front fork allow degree of lateral movement to the left and right, in which a main bar is coupled to the base by an axis that allows the lateral movement degrees with stability. The presence of these components makes the present invention well simulate the experience of pedaling outdoors and working on the user's shoulders, arms and abdomen.

Abstract: An application programming interface (API) platform accesses cloud-based software services in a cloud computing system. API requests used in the API platform include a tenant specific endpoint (TSE) that uses a unique tenant identifier and an API endpoint as a URL domain. The unique tenant identifier identifies a tenant associated with the API request and the API endpoint identifies one of the cloud-based software services. The combination of the unique tenant identifier and the API endpoint in the domain of the TSE maps to an IP address for a specific software service in a specific one of the data centers in the cloud computing system assigned to the tenant. This allows API requests to be routed directly to the tenant specific data centers without first being routed through a central routing service.

The removable core also includes a dome with a serrated bottom edge, a liquid pump, and a light source.

Abstract: An elliptical bicycle comprises a structural frame including two stringers in opposing arcs, one upper and the other lower, a front wheel and a rear wheel driven by a crankset from its support platforms, as well as a steering box formed by fork, steering tube and handlebar. The elliptical bicycle has multiple hinges. The structural frame is provided with a set of main hinges, each applied to a bipartite stringer having an articulation at an approximate angle of up to 170°. A secondary hinge is applied in a bipartite steering tube of the handlebar having an articulation at an approximate angle of up to 180°. A set of tertiary hinges is applied between a crankset and support platforms of the user's feet, each of them having an articulation at an approximate angle of up to 90° upwards.

Abstract: A bicycle with a rear drive assembly configured to allow pedal boards to be pivotable while moving in an elliptical trajectory and which allows a cyclist to ride in an erect position is disclosed. A front end of each of the pedal boards is pivotably connected to an end of a crank and each of the pedal boards is connected to or integral with a guide rod extending rearwardly from the pedal board. The guide rods are supported by a rear drive assembly comprising a transverse tube that is horizontally connected to a frame of the bicycle. A roller is mounted at each end of the transverse tube. Each roller has a groove which accommodates the cross-section of the guide rod.

Abstract: A modular electric power plant housed within a container equipped with a transformer for direct connection to an local power distribution system that can supply energy in remote areas is disclosed. The container provides noise control, and includes a set of units that are interconnected and are capable of generating medium-voltage electric power for supplying a local power distribution system. The units include generator units; a cooling unit; a distribution unit and transformer built-in to a tank for collecting spilled oil. The built-in tanks have double walls for collecting contaminated oil/water installed inside the container base, while air inlets for aiding cooling and at least one pair of fans are provided in the cooling unit compartment. The generator units are powered by gas, diesel, or biodiesel automotive engines. Each generator is connected to an exhaust pipe for gases that is installed on the container upper wall.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for conducting agricultural operations in a field using one or more autonomous vehicles in which the agricultural operations may be optimized during run time. The system includes providing a mission plan for an autonomous vehicle, receiving progress updates from the vehicle as it conducts an agricultural operation according to the mission plan, and monitoring for event conditions which may be reported by the vehicle. Event conditions may include, for example, detection of an obstacle, or an oncoming vehicle, or a disablement of the vehicle. Upon receiving an event condition, the system may revise the mission plan to resolve the event condition while providing an optimization based on current agricultural conditions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for conducting agricultural operations in a field using autonomous vehicles in which a collision avoidance mechanism may be provided. The system may include providing a mission plan for autonomous vehicles to conduct agricultural operations, establishing a hierarchy for the vehicles, and monitoring for an event conditions indicating vehicles are traveling toward a collision with respect to one another. Upon receiving an event condition, the system may revise the mission plan to adjust a path of one of the vehicles based on the hierarchy in order to avoid the collision.
