Abstract: Auxiliary safety device for a vehicle, comprising a housing suitable to be mounted on board of the vehicle; a lighting assembly which is at least partially accommodated in the housing and comprises at least a plurality of lights arranged to illuminate a space ahead of the vehicle; a video assembly which is at least partially accommodated in the housing and comprises one or more video cameras monitoring at least part of the environment outside the vehicle to detect one or more of humans, animals or objects ahead of the vehicle, wherein the video assembly comprises at least one thermal video camera which detects at least humans/animals ahead of the vehicle under poor visibility conditions; and a controller which at least causes the plurality of lights to flash or strobe at a human, or animal or obstacle detected by the video assembly.

Abstract: A graphical user interface includes GUI elements configured for defining discretized base geometry data for a model of a physical system, receiving a first input representing a user instruction to add a perfectly matched layer to the model, receiving a second input representing the user selection of boundaries that define a base geometry, and receiving a third input representing extra geometry meshing instructions. Extra geometry line segment data is discretized representing an outward direction of a PML from the boundary according to the extra geometry meshing instructions. Weak form expressions representing a wave-related phenomena are formed based on received PML settings and physics settings parameterized using discretized base geometry data and discretized extra geometry data. Matrix data are generated based on the formed weak form expressions. A solution to a simulation of the wave-related phenomena of the model is generated based on the formed weak form expressions.

Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes an engine cradle and an impact receiving structure. A forward end of the first side portion and a first lateral end of a front portion of the engine cradle are fixedly attached to one another. The first side portion has a rearward section and a forward section, the rearward section being horizontally oriented and the forward section extending upward and forward from the rearward section defining an acute angle therebetween, the acute angle being between 30 and 35 degrees. The impact receiving structure is installed to the first side portion of the engine cradle proximate an intersection between the first side portion and the front member. A lower surface of the impact receiving structure extends downward along the forward section of the first side portion further defining the acute angle of the forward section of the first side portion of the engine cradle.

Abstract: A manual input-output device in a breathing apparatus, such as an anesthesia system, has a manual input for adjusting at least one patient critical operating parameter of the breathing apparatus. The manual input-output device is programmable for a haptic feedback and has an operating member for the manual input and a manual output, a detecting unit that detects a movement of the operating member, and a haptic feedback unit that applies a mechanical output to the operating member depending on the movement detected. The manual input-output device can be used for adjusting an opening pressure level of an adjustable pressure limiting (APL) valve.
