Abstract: Various embodiments enable recovery with a robotic vehicle of an item placed by a user in a delivery area. The presence of the item in the delivery area may be determined using images captured by a camera, with descriptive recovery parameters derived and included in a recovery request. Recovery parameters may also include information stored in a user account and information input by a user using an application executing on a user device. The delivery area and application may be associated with the user account. The recovery request may be sent to a remote server which dispatches a robotic vehicle to the delivery area to recover the item and routes the robotic vehicle with the recovered item to a location based on information in the user account. A selection of robotic vehicle type may be based on the item's weight or one or more of its physical dimensions.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable recovery with a robotic vehicle of an item placed by a user on a delivery pad. The presence of the item on the delivery pad may be sensed and various descriptive recovery parameters may be included in a recovery request. Recovery parameters may be derived from measurements acquired at the delivery pad, information stored in the user account, and information input by a user using an application executing on a user device. The application may be associated with the user account. The recovery request may be sent to a remote server which in turn dispatches a robotic vehicle to the delivery pad site to recover the item and routes the robotic vehicle with the recovered item to a location based on information in the user account. A robotic vehicle selection may be based on the item's weight or one or more of its physical dimensions.

Abstract: Plants with reduced gluten grains and compositions thereof are disclosed herein.

Abstract: One embodiment disclosed herein is related to a device for pointing a radiating element. The device includes an aligned radiating surface; a hinge that is circumferentially mounted to a rear side of the aligned radiating surface, the hinge configured to change azimuth of the aligned radiating surface; and a Tubular Universal joint (TU-joint) having one end coupled to a rear side of the aligned radiating surface and a second end coupled to a base, the TU-joint being configured to change an elevation of the aligned radiating surface. Another embodiment is related to a Tubular Universal-joint (TU-joint). In the embodiment, the TU-joint includes a hollow tube having a first end and a second end; a plurality of slits along the surface of the tube; and a plurality of members between the plurality of slits, each of the plurality of members configured to bear a portion of a load of the TU-joint, wherein the TU-joint is configured to be axially and torsionally stiff while being bendable.

Abstract: Side airbag cushions, side airbag assemblies and related methods for stowing a side airbag cushion in a cover to provide, upon deployment, improved timing of pelvis coverage for an associated vehicle passenger are provided. The side airbag cushion desirably includes a first rolled portion and a second accordion folded portion and, wherein, upon deployment, the accordion folded portion provides improved timing allowing for better pelvis coverage for the associated vehicle passenger.

Abstract: Tabs for coupling or securing an airbag to a vehicle are provided. A tab may include a first panel and a second panel that meet at a foldable portion. First and second arms may extend away from a central portion of the first panel in substantially opposite directions. First and second recesses may extend inward from first and second lateral edges, respectively, of the second panel. The tab may be configured to be folded to form a bracket receiving member. The bracket receiving member may be configured to be disposed through an aperture of a bracket to secure the tab to the vehicle. Additionally, the first and second panels of the tab may be configured to be secured to an airbag to secure the airbag to the vehicle via the tab and the bracket.

Abstract: Formulations comprising compounds obtainable from a neem extract and/or biomass and at least one water-soluble organosilicone surfactant, and methods of making and using such formulations are provided.
