Abstract: A control system (300) for controlling an active suspension system (104) of a vehicle (100), the control system comprising one or more controller (301), wherein the control system is configured to: obtain (908) information indicative of relative traction levels between different wheels (FL, FR, RL, RR) of the vehicle; and in dependence on the information, control (912) the active suspension system to increase normal force through a wheel (FR) of the vehicle having relatively high traction compared to one or more other wheels (FL, RL, RR) of the vehicle, and decrease normal force through a wheel (FL) of the vehicle having relatively low traction compared to one or more other wheels (FR, RL, RR) of the vehicle.

Abstract: A bearing, including: an inner ring defining a first groove; an outer ring including a radially inner surface, the radially inner surface facing an axis of rotation of the bearing and defining a second groove and a third groove; a cage radially disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring; a plurality of balls retained by the cage, and disposed in the first groove, and in the second groove; and a preloaded resilient washer assembly including a rigid washer and a resilient washer including a radially outermost surface disposed in the third groove. The resilient washer urges the rigid washer away from the outer ring in an axial direction parallel to an axis of rotation of the bearing.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include an impedance matching network. In an embodiment, the impedance matching network comprises an input, and a first matrix tuning element on a first branch from the input, where the first matrix tuning element comprises a variable capacitance. In an embodiment, the impedance matching network further comprises a transformer on a second branch from the input, where the transformer has at least a first tap, where a second matrix tuning element is on the first tap, and where the second matrix tuning element comprises a variable capacitance. In an embodiment, the impedance matching network further comprises a third matrix tuning element after the transformer on the second branch, where the third matrix tuning element comprises a variable capacitance. In an embodiment, the impedance matching network further comprises an output after the third matrix tuning element on the second branch.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to assays and methods for the detection of renal inflammation by measuring the level of P2Y14 and/or UDP-glucose in a sample from a subject, such as a urine sample. The present disclosure also relates to methods for the treatment of renal inflammation by administering a P2Y14 inhibitor.

Abstract: Methods for preparing microRNAs from microvesicles isolated from a biological sample from a subject, and preparation of DNA from microvesicle microRNA preparations.

Abstract: A device that provides personal comfort to the user while simultaneously providing insect control, both functionalities facilitated by a fan component that creates airflow through the device, such airflow drawing insects into the inlet end of the device for insect control and blowing air out of the outlet end of the device for personal comfort of the user, while a trapping component inside the device prevents the insects from exiting with the outlet air and a killing component inside the device kills the insects for insect control purposes.

Abstract: A unique watercraft that includes a plurality of flotation elements which are aligned longitudinally and fit together end to end, comprising the watercraft hull. Unlike other watercraft, it does not rely upon a low center of gravity for stability. A front flotation element pivots about an axis and this pivotal motion is used for both steering and for maintaining balance. The effective profile of the hull changes dynamically as the front flotation element is turned. These hull changes allow the operator to balance and make agile maneuvers. Equilibrium can be easily maintained in this manner when the watercraft is moving forward and when it is otherwise stationary in water. In a preferred embodiment, the watercraft is ridden like a bicycle. Balance is actively maintained by a rider who steers right and left to adjust transverse weight distribution. The riding experience feels similar to operating a conventional bicycle on land.

Abstract: The present invention provides a double bladed spiral slicer including a first and second blade assemblies on a surface, each assembly having a mechanical output and operable to rotate about a vertical axis. A meat rotation assembly, having a headstock and tailstock, is adapted for rotation of a received meat. A processor and controller in communication with the blade assemblies operate to direct the blade assemblies to form a spiral slice on the surface of the meat. The meat product is engaged to the meat rotation assembly where the upper position of the meat product is determined. The meat product is rotated about a vertical axis and the blade assemblies operate by simultaneously reciprocally engaging the meat product and moving vertically from the central position of the meat product.
