Abstract: An air management system for a vehicle having a first pneumatic circuit and a second pneumatic circuit, in which the first and second pneumatic circuits are pneumatically connected in a neutral position via a cross-flow mechanism. The first pneumatic circuit is configured to independently adjust air pressure of a first side of the vehicle. The second pneumatic circuit is configured to independently adjust air pressure of a second side of the vehicle. The system is configured to establish pneumatic communication between the first and second pneumatic circuits when the air management system is not independently adjusting the adjust air pressure of the first side of the vehicle and the air pressure of the second side of the vehicle in the cross-flow mode.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a substrate table includes supporting a table base and disposing a coating on a surface of the table base. The surface of the table base is substantially flat. The coating has a non-uniform thickness. The coating exerts a stress on the table so as to bend the table base. The non-uniform thickness causes a surface of the coating to become substantially flat after the bending.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for reducing or mitigation alert fatigue from real-time alerts in cyber-physical systems or other types of edge computing systems are provided. In one or more examples, the edge computing system monitor can look for one or more patterns within received data that can indicate malicious activity or other conditions that may warrant a real-time or near-real time response from the operator. In one or more examples, a detection of any of the specified patterns in the streaming data can trigger an alert to the operator of the edge computing system. In one or more examples, the alerts can be suppressed until the number of alerts associated with a particular pattern crosses a pre-determined threshold. Additionally or alternatively, alerts can be suppressed based on a duration that the alerts have been generated. The suppression of alerts can be configured to reduce operator alert fatigue.
