Abstract: A method that tracks a gaze of a specific user as the user reads displayed electronic document to determine pauses in reading greater than a specified period of time. Objects on the displayed document are correlated to the pauses. Features are identified based on the objects and textual analysis of the electronic document. A descriptor is obtained from the user defining each of the identified features, each having a value of a relative importance or applicability. An overall value is obtained from the user indicating an overall applicability of the document with respect to specific requirements of the user, and a pre-trained, baseline machine learning model, the identified features, the descriptor for each of the identified features, the value for each of the identified features, and the overall value for each of the displayed plurality of electronic documents are combined as training data for the machine learning model.

Abstract: A light assembly for a vehicle design element includes a light guide, the light guide including a plurality of light receiving surfaces; and a plurality of light sources, the light sources being arranged adjacent to and directed towards respective light receiving surfaces, where the light guide is shaped to define an annular base lying in a first plane and at least one circumferential flange or cylinder disposed generally orthogonal, or inwardly or outwardly splayed to the first plane, the flange or cylinder extending away from the annular base towards a viewable annular light exit, the base including a plurality of shaped elements extending away from the first plane, each shaped element defining one of the light receiving surfaces for receiving incident light from a respective adjacent light source, where a plurality of the light receiving surfaces are orientated substantially transverse to the base.

Abstract: A fuel pump assembly includes an attachment section and a pump housing. The attachment section includes an upper telescoping section having an outer portion and a support rod that extends into the outer portion for telescoping movement with respect thereto. The support rod further extends downward from the outer portion. The pump housing is supported to a lower end of the support rod of the attachment section. The upper telescoping section of the support rod is configured such that the pump housing is movable between a first position and a second position, such that in the first position the pump housing is retained by the upper telescoping structure a first distance away from the attachment section and in the second position the pump housing is located a second distance away from the attachment section. The first distance is greater than the second distance.

Abstract: A fuel sender assembly having a housing, a first positioning mechanism, a second positioning mechanism and a sender unit.

The first positioning mechanism is further configured to retain the sender unit in any one of a plurality of positions relative to the outer surface of the housing. The second positioning mechanism includes a first part and a second part. The first part is attached to the first positioning mechanism. The second part is coupled to the first part such that the second part is movably positionable relative to the first part in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The sender unit is connected to the second part.

Abstract: A tube extends through an attachment section and defines a vapor passageway. A housing is supported to the attachment section for movement between several positions relative to the attachment section. The housing defines a float chamber below the tube. A valve seat portion is located within the float chamber and has an engagement part, a sleeve part and a seat surface. The engagement part is connected to the housing. The sleeve part telescopically engages the tube and is movable along the tube with the housing. The valve seat portion defines a central bore open to the vapor passageway and the seat surface. The float moves within the float chamber. When to fluid enters the float chamber the float floats up against the seat surface closing off the central bore and the vapor passageway. In the absence of fluid the float moves downward exposing the seat surface.

Abstract: System and methods for computer animations of 3D models of heads generated from images of faces is disclosed. A 2D captured image that includes an image of a face can be received and used to generate a static 3D model of a head. A rig can be fit to the static 3D model to generate an animation-ready 3D generative model. Sets of rigs can be parameters that each map to particular sounds. These mappings can be used to generate a playlists of sets of rig parameters based upon received audio content. The playlist may be played in synchronization with an audio rendition of the audio content.
