Abstract: An electric pushback vehicle includes a frame having a forward portion and a rear portion. The vehicle further includes front drive axle and a rear drive axle configured to communicate power to ground engaging members. A traction battery is housed within the electric pushback vehicle and provides electric power to an electric motor to drive an output shaft. A transmission is connected to receive mechanical power from the electric motor through a torque converter.

Abstract: An adjustable seat assembly may have a seat back that is configurable in a fore position or a stern-facing seat, an aft position for a bow-facing seat, and a pillow position which facilitates a user laying down across the stern-facing seat. In addition, the seat back may be placed in a stowed position in which the seat back is absent from both the bow-facing and stern-facing seats, such that the seats cooperate to provide a planar support surface along an aft-to-fore extent of the seat assembly. The seat back may be adjustable by hand without tools, such that a user may easily reconfigure the seat assembly to sit facing the bow, to sit facing the stern, or to lie down.

Abstract: Computing systems and methods of visually creating and visually analyzing proposed insurance or reinsurance constructs by providing an overall insurance or reinsurance structure creation and analysis system that includes an insurance/reinsurance visual design structure interface displayed to a user on a design construction user interface display presented to a user via a display of a user computing device having a user input device and the display having a plurality of coverage layer types visually illustrated on the design construction user interface display outside of a graphical diagram. The graphic diagram depicts at least one rectangular-shaped coverage structure layer that creates a proposed insurance or reinsurance construct and corresponds to one of the plurality of coverage layer types visually illustrated on the design construction user interface display outside of the graphical diagram.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, a relocatable seat and removable and storable seating arrangement for use on a boat is provided. The relocatable seat has a frame, a seat bottom, a seat back, and at least one storage compartment. The removable and storable seating arrangement includes at least one removable support member, which can be stored in the storage compartment when not in use, and at least one removable seat member supported by the support member when in a use position and storable in the storage compartment in a stored position.

Abstract: A portable, modular building structure.

Abstract: The present application provides a system for enabling instrument placement from distances on the order of five meters, for example, and increases accuracy of the instrument placement relative to visually-specified targets. The system provides precision control of a mobile base of a rover and onboard manipulators (e.g., robotic arms) relative to a visually-specified target using one or more sets of cameras. The system automatically compensates for wheel slippage and kinematic inaccuracy ensuring accurate placement (on the order of 2 mm, for example) of the instrument relative to the target. The system provides the ability for autonomous instrument placement by controlling both the base of the rover and the onboard manipulator using a single set of cameras. To extend the distance from which the placement can be completed to nearly five meters, target information may be transferred from navigation cameras (used for long-range) to front hazard cameras (used for positioning the manipulator).

Abstract: The caseinate replacement composition for imitation cheese is made of a granular hydroxypropylated, high amylose starch having a degree of substitution of greater than 0.04, gelatin and a gum such as pectin and carrageenan. The gum is used to decrease the amount of gelatin necessary and to improve the texture of the overall cheese analog. The caseinate replacement composition replaces all or a portion of the caseinate in the imitation cheese.

Abstract: A bin level detector and filling switch operates in response to a pulverulent, fluent material spilling over the top of a vertically mounted tube open at both ends. The upper and lower ends of the tube correspond respectfully to the points at which the bin is to stop and start being filled. As the material fills the tube it depresses a movable plate holding a first magnet. A second magnet is oriented with respect to the first magnet with like poles opposite and is mounted outside of the vertical tube and positioned so that movement of the one magnet results in a reciprocal movement of the other magnet. The movement of the second magnet is utilized to operate a control device in response to the level of pulverulent fluent material in the bin. The control device may be an electrical switch that effects or operates the filling mechanism of the bin, an alarm device or some other satellite function.
