Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for collecting anonymized drive information. A processing device may be configured to receive outputs from one or more sensors; determine at least one motion representation for the host vehicle based on the outputs; receive at least one image representative of an environment of the host vehicle; analyze the at least one image to determine at least one road characteristic associated with a road section; assemble first road segment information relative to a first portion of the road section, wherein the first portion of the road section is separated from a starting point associated with a route traveled by the host vehicle; assemble second road segment information relative to a second portion of the road section; and cause transmission of the first road segment information and the second road segment information to a server for assembly of an autonomous vehicle road navigation model.

Abstract: An orthodontic device and methods thereof for correcting an arrangement of teeth are provided. The orthodontic device includes a plurality of brackets for attaching to teeth; a plurality of spring anchoring units, wherein each of the plurality of spring anchoring units is attached to one of the plurality of brackets; and a spring having a tension, two-dimensional longitudinal deformability and two-dimensional rotational deformability, wherein the spring is attached to each spring anchoring unit, wherein the tension is zero prior to attaching the plurality of brackets to the teeth, wherein further the tension is greater than zero immediately after attaching the plurality of brackets to the teeth, wherein further the tension is zero when the plurality of brackets is attached to the teeth and in an optimal position.

Abstract: A cover panel for closing a roof opening has a panel body, a support frame for the panel body, and a seal member having a substantially rigid mounting portion mounted on an edge of the support frame and extending around an outer circumferential edge of the panel body, and a resilient hollow seal portion for engaging the outer circumferential edge of the panel body. An arrangement is provided by which water passing between the seal portion and the circumferential edge can pass be drained away. Furthermore, a glass support portion of the seal member is bifurcated, having a flexibly hinged upwardly angled flange portion that is deformed downward upon placement of the glass pane to insure correct Z-axis (vertical) positioning of the glass pane forming the panel body and to prevent adhesive from flowing between the panel body and the seal member.
