Abstract: A versatile wallet includes a metal body formed from a front face plate connected to a rear face plate and forming a cavity therebetween. The front and rear face plates define sidewalls on three separate sides of the body, and an opening on a fourth side of the body. The front face plate and rear face plate include aligned perforations extending around their perimeter. A plurality of rivets extend between aligned perforations in the front face plate and the rear face plate. Each rivet is anchored to the rear face plate by a stud and staked within the perforations of the front face plate. The wallet can include removable side panels allowing for quickly changing the appearance of sidewalls, or for the attachment of functional features.

Abstract: Automated robotic harvesting systems and methods for harvesting electrodeposited metals from a cell, and specialized end of arm tooling for use in automated robotic harvesting systems and methods for harvesting electrodeposited metals from a cell, are disclosed. A harvesting tool comprises an extraction gripping unit configured to extract a starter sheet and metal electrodeposited on the starter sheet from a cell, and a harvesting gripping unit configured to separate the starter sheet from the metal for harvesting the metal.

Abstract: A signal generator outputs a reference signal corresponding to at least one wireless signal according to the predefined signal encoding to a channel emulator processor. The channel emulator processor is programmed to use at least one synthesized channel parameter and the reference signal to produce and store a perturbed signal as data for training machine learning and artificial intelligence systems. The synthesized channel parameter is synthesized using a channel synthesizer processor programmed to: ingest map elevation data, reference a transmitter and a receiver to the map elevation data, and perform ray tracing of a representative signal between the transmitter and the receiver, while applying at least one predetermined perturbation property to synthesize at least one channel parameter.

Abstract: A vehicle has first and second portions, with a front aerodynamic element located in the first portion and a rear aerodynamic element located in the second portion. The front and rear aerodynamic elements are each independently movable to respective deployment positions between respective stowed positions and respective fully-extended positions. A controller is operatively connected to each of the front and rear aerodynamic elements and has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory. The controller is programmed to obtain a front target position (Tf,n) for the front aerodynamic element at a current time step (n) based at least partially on at least one vehicle state parameter at a previous time-step (n?1) and a detected position (Dr,n-1) of the rear aerodynamic element at the previous time-step (n?1).
