Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to an intelligent motion control system that utilizes onboard sensors and processing to guide a surface manipulation machine along a path of travel on a surface, confirm a position of the machine with respect to the surface, and actuate a surface manipulation tool to achieve a desired surface profile or locate a point of interest. The system may include a first and second surface profiler that is configured to scan a surface on which the system travels and a positional sensor configured to generate positional data representing a position of the machine. The processor is configured to generate topography data based on output received from the first surface profiler, generate intermediate data based on output received from the second profiler, compare the intermediate data with the topography data to calculate an offset; and control motion of the system based on the offset.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of maintaining corn protein yield during extraction and managing stickiness and viscosity comprising obtaining a corn material having a corn protein content and washing the corn material to remove non-protein components with an ethanol-water solvent comprising at least 85 wt % ethanol to obtain a corn protein isolate, wherein the loss of corn protein content during extraction is less than 10% of total corn protein.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for partitioning a manifest file to generate smaller manifest files for media content playback. A server partitions a manifest file prior to receipt of a request from a client or in response to a request from a client for a manifest for media content for a particular temporal range or subset of playback options.

Abstract: There is disclosed patient ceiling-hoist carriage for the transport of a hoisted patient. The patient ceiling hoist carriage includes an electrically-operable motor, a carriage body, a patient ceiling-hoist connector connected to the carriage body and with which a patient-ceiling hoist is engagable, and a bogie. The bogie has a rail-engagement element and a baseplate which is connectable to the carriage body, the rail-engagement element having two axles which are in drivable engagement with the motor, each axle being in engagement with at least one rail-engagement wheel to allow the patient ceiling-hoist carriage to be driven along an associated patient ceiling-hoist carriage rail. The configuration such that, when the patient ceiling-hoist carriage is in a region of transition between two adjacent patient ceiling-hoist carriage rails, the two axles provide traction on both the adjacent patient ceiling-hoist carriage rails.

Abstract: Example medical device data platforms are disclosed herein. In an example, the platform may include at least one integration device to access information originating from a plurality of implantable medical devices manufactured by a plurality of manufacturers and implanted in a plurality of patients. The system may also include an information processor to process the accessed information to generate at least one of patient-oriented information and provider-oriented information. The system may also include at least one communication device providing at least one of a patient portal and a provider portal to provide the patient-oriented information and the provider-oriented information, respectively.

Abstract: A method for mixing a first video signal and a second video signal, the method comprising at a mixing device receiving the first video signal; receiving the second video signal; receiving a transformation information signal dividing the first video signal into a transparent region and a non-transparent region and representing a spatial relationship between the first video signal and the second video signal; transforming the second video signal in accordance with the transformation information signal; and combining the non-transparent region of the first video signal with a portion of the transformed second video signal, the portion of the transformed second video signal being rendered in the transparent region of the first video signal.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a service provider, each of multiple email messages from an email system of a company after the email system determines that each email message includes travel information associated with business travel of an employee of the company, wherein the company is a client or customer of the service provider. The method also includes parsing and filtering, by the service provider, each email message to obtain the travel information. The method also includes storing, by the service provider, the travel information in a data repository. The method also includes generating, by the service provider, one or more user or data interfaces associated with the travel information, wherein the one or more user or data interfaces are arranged as a travel information dashboard accessible to the company.

Abstract: The link assembly constitutes a mechanical connection between a cabinet door (108) and a toe kick plate (112) of the cabinet with both panels being hingedly attached to the same cabinet sidewall (114). The link assembly causes the toe kick plate (112) to move in synchronization with the movement of the door (108) and, when the cabinet door (108) is opened, the link causes the toe kick plate (112) to move into a position underneath the door (108). The link assembly pivots and self-adjusts dimensionally as required throughout the range of movement of the two hinged panels. The link assembly incorporates a resiliently biased over-center mechanism which urges the door (108) to remain in the open position until closed intentionally. The link assembly provides dual-axes adjustability for, and also supports the weight of, the toe kick plate free-swinging edge (112a).
