Abstract: A computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to sequentially activate a plurality of lamps aimed at a scene, the lamps mounted to a vehicle; receive image data of the scene generated while sequentially activating the lamps; generate a map of surface normals of the scene by executing a photometric stereo algorithm on the image data; and in response to a speed of the vehicle being below a speed threshold, navigate the vehicle based on the map of the surface normals.

Abstract: A unique implementation of a machine learning application for suggesting actions for a user to undertake is described herein. The application transforms a history of user behavior into a set of models that represent user actions given a set of parameters. These models are then used to suggest that users in a payments or banking environment take certain actions based on their history. The models are created using the DensiCube, random forest or k-means algorithms.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of using functional MRI (fMRI) for determining brain activation patterns for a group of subjects in response to different odor-elicited feelings (i.e., conscious emotions). A method for preparing a perfume by using the method of the present invention and a consumer product including said perfume are also described herein.

Abstract: A package for a single unit dose detergent, the package having an outer shell and an inner structure. The outer shell and the inner structure comprise of a biodegradable material. The inner structure has one or more divided sections enabled to contain one or more single unit dose detergents articles. At least one of the one or more divided sections comprises a protuberance extending from a surface facing an inner surface of the outer shell.

Abstract: A suppressor mount device can include a first end having a barrel coupling feature adapted to couple the suppressor mount device to the barrel of a firearm. The device can further include a second end oriented opposite the first end along a bore axis and a suppressor coupling feature adapted to receive and retain a firearm suppressor. The device can further include a bore forming a void along the bore axis within the suppressor mount device, the bore adapted to allow passage of a projectile along the bore axis from the first end to the second end. The device can further include a reaming feature formed on an outer surface of the second end adapted to engage an inner surface of the firearm suppressor. The reaming feature can include a channel which is at least partially oriented non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the bore axis.

Abstract: A unique implementation of a machine learning application for suggesting actions for a user to undertake is described herein. The application transforms a history of user behavior for a plurality of users into a set of models that represent user actions, and the optimal actions, given a set of parameters. These models are then used to suggest that users in a payments or banking environment take certain actions based on a best in class model derived from the best performing user. The models are created using the DensiCube, random forest, K-means or other machine learning algorithms.

Abstract: A computerized electro-mechanical drug delivery device configured to deliver at least one dose of two or more medicaments. The device comprises a control unit. An electro-mechanical drive unit is operably coupled to the control unit and a primary reservoir for a first medicament and a secondary reservoir for a fluid agent, e.g. a second medicament. An operator interface is in communication with the control unit. A single dispense assembly is configured for fluid communication with the primary and the secondary reservoir. Activation of the operator panel sets a first dose from the primary reservoir and based on the first dose and a therapeutic dose profile, the control unit is configured to determine a dose or range of the fluid agent. Alternatively, the control unit determines or calculates a dose or range of a third medicament. Further, a dispense interface for use with a drug delivery device is disclosed.

Abstract: An example method includes, in response to receiving a gateway heartbeat message from a lighting system non-connected gateway RF node, incrementing a gateway heartbeat counter. In response to receiving a repeater RF node heartbeat message from a network RF node of lighting system non-connected network RF nodes set to a repeater role, incrementing a repeater heartbeat counter. In response to a cycle time exceeding a cycle time timeout, the gateway heartbeat counter not exceeding a gateway heartbeat threshold, and the repeater heartbeat counter exceeding a repeater heartbeat threshold, selecting a selected network RF node of the RF nodes set to the repeater role. Transmitting, via an extended star wireless network, a registration message to the selected network RF node. In response to transmitting the registration message and having a network RF node role state set to an unconnected role, setting the network RF node role state to a connected role.

Abstract: Disclosed is a refill bottle configured to be insertable into a liquid fragrance dispensing device. The bottle includes a body and a neck, the body having an asymmetrical bulbous portion, which is configured such that a greater proportion of the liquid can be stored in the bottom half of the body than in the top half of the body of the refill bottle. Such results in that the centre of mass of the bottle is offset from the neck. The refill bottle may also include a rotatable spray head with a nozzle for dispensing a liquid fragrance contained within the bottle.
