Abstract: A system is provided generating a context-dependent experience for a vehicle driver, e.g., to relax or enhance the driver's mental state. A system controller is configured to receive driving context data regarding a driving situation from various driving context data sources. The driving context data may include vehicle operation data, e.g., generated by vehicle-based sensors, and environmental data regarding an environment external to the vehicle, e.g., received wirelessly from a remote server. The system controller may identify content triggering events based on (a) the received driver context data and (b) a set of content triggering rules. For each content triggering event, the system controller may select one or more human-perceivable contents elements (e.g., audio clips, seat massage settings, or air conditioner settings), and control one or more content output devices (e.g., speakers, seat massage system, or vehicle HVAC system) to output the selected content element(s) to the driver.

Abstract: The present application relates to an analytical method that includes providing a sample potentially containing a chiral analyte that can exist in stereoisomeric forms, providing certain probes; and providing an indicator. The sample is contacted with an excess of the probe under conditions to permit irreversible covalent binding of the probe to the analyte, if present in the sample. The sample is contacted with the indicator under conditions to permit covalent binding of the indicator to any excess probe that is not bound to the analyte. Based on any binding that occurs between the analyte and probe, the absolute configuration of the analyte in the sample and/or the enantiomeric composition of the analyte in the sample using a chiroptical technique is/are determined. Based on any binding that occurs between the indicator and probe, the concentration of the analyte in the sample is determined using a non-chiroptical technique.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for determining the absolute configuration of D/L-cysteine and/or the enantiomeric composition of cysteine and/or the concentration of total cysteine in a sample. Uses of the composition and method are also described.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for treating or preventing a neurodegenerative disease, a neurodevelop-mental disease, a myodegenerative disease, a prion disease, a lysosomal storage disease or cancer in a subject.

Abstract: Aspects described herein allow for systems and methods to monitor production changes to resources in a cloud computing environment and display the change activity via a change event dashboard. A change order monitoring application receives data from cloud computing audit logs to detect infrastructure changes and combines that data with application information to determine which application was affected. The change order monitoring application then uses a machine learning algorithm to cluster multiple change events together when it is likely that the change events were part of the same change. The change event dashboard visually displays real-time cloud computing application changes.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods related to incentives for complying with suggested driving operations can include determining suggested driving operations, determining a desirability of the suggested driving operations, communicating the desirability of the suggested driving operations, and optionally monitoring compliance with the suggested driving operations.

Abstract: A vehicle seat may have a seat substructure, at least one backrest, and a fastening arrangement for fastening the seat substructure to a base, in particular to a longitudinal adjuster. The seat substructure may have at least two side carriers and a transverse profile, in particular a front transverse tube, connected to the side carriers. The seat substructure may have at least one deformation element for limiting a force acting on the fastening arrangement, in particular a force introduced into the seat substructure via the transverse profile.

Abstract: A financial transaction method includes receiving a request to perform a financial transaction at a financial institution, generating a single-use transaction key for the financial transaction, and storing at least a first portion of the transaction key in a storage medium. The transaction key is transmitted to a user that requested the financial transaction, and an authorization request including at least a second portion of the transaction key is received from a merchant. The second portion of the transaction key received from the merchant is compared to the first portion of the transaction key to determine if the transaction should be authorized. An authorization message is transmitted to the merchant if the second portion of the transaction key received from the merchant matches the first portion of the transaction key. The financial transaction is funded from an account of the user if the financial transaction is authorized.

Abstract: A motor vehicle seat may have a seat squab, a back rest, and kinematics for moving the vehicle seat from a use position suitable for conveying people to a non-use position or access position. The access position makes accessing a rear row of seats easier. The seat may be moved by a drive device from the use position to the non-use position, and vice versa. The seat may have a rear foot with a locking device that can be locked with a counter-element for securing in the use position. The seat may also have a protection device arranged in the region of the locking device for detecting an obstacle in a movement path of the rear foot when the vehicle seat is moved from the non-use position to the use position.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing fund transfers at an automated teller machine (ATM) are disclosed. The systems and methods include using authentication transaction keys to enable a transferee device to facilitate an ATM withdrawal. The fund transfer is based on pre-defined ATM transaction parameters, which include an amount of funds for the transaction and a geographic limitation for an ATM at which the transaction may occur. Funds can be transferred in response to authentication of the authentication transaction key and confirmation that the ATM corresponds to the geographic limitation for the ATM.

Abstract: A fitting for a vehicle seat may have a first ring gear having first ring gear teeth, a second ring gear having second ring gear teeth, and a planet gear mounted on a planet carrier and which meshes with the first and second ring gear teeth. A blocking planet gear, which can be rotated about a blocking-planet-gear axis of rotation, permanently meshes with the first ring gear teeth and with the second ring gear teeth, and the distance between the blocking-planet-gear axis of rotation and the axis can be changed so that the blocking planet gear can be transferred selectively between locking meshing and non-locking meshing with the first ring gear teeth and/or with the second ring gear teeth. A vehicle seat having a a seat part, a backrest and a fitting of this type for setting an angle of inclination of the backrest is provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an analytical method that includes providing a sample potentially containing a chiral analyte that can exist in stereoisomeric forms, and providing a probe selected from the group consisting of coumarin-derived Michael acceptors, dinitrofluoroarenes and analogs thereof, arylsulfonyl chlorides and analogs thereof, arylchlorophosphines and analogs thereof, aryl halophosphites, and halodiazaphosphites. The sample is contacted with the probe under conditions to permit covalent binding of the probe to the analyte, if present in the sample; and, based on any binding that occurs, the absolute configuration of the analyte in the sample, and/or the concentration of the analyte in the sample, and/or the enantiomeric composition of the analyte in the sample is/are determined.
