Abstract: A vehicle hitching assistance system includes a controller executing an initial alignment process including searching for a trailer within a specified area of image data that is less than a total field of the image data in directions corresponding with both a longitudinal distance between the vehicle and the trailer and a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal distance, presenting an indication to a driver of the vehicle to reposition the vehicle when the trailer is not identified within the specified area, and removing the indication when the trailer is identified within the specified area. The controller further executes an automated backing process upon identifying the trailer within the specified area, including identifying a coupler of the trailer and outputting a steering signal to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to steer to align a hitch ball of the vehicle with the coupler of the trailer during reversing.

Abstract: There is provided a fan assembly comprising a motor-driven impeller arranged to generate an airflow, an air outlet arranged to emit the airflow, a plurality of sensors arranged to measure a value for each of a plurality of air quality characteristics, a display and a processor. The processor is configured to receive measured values for each of the plurality of air quality characteristics, identify one of a corresponding set of intervals within which the measured value falls and select an air quality index value associated with the identified interval. The processor is then configured to identify the highest of the selected air quality index values as a current overall air quality index value and to cause the display to display a time series plot of the current air quality index value and a number of preceding air quality index values.

Abstract: In an approach to integrating real-world properties into machine learning training, a real-world image is received. The real-world image is compared to a simulated image, where the comparison is performed using a discriminator network of a generative adversarial network (GAN). A generator network of the GAN is trained with results of the comparison of the real-world image to the simulated image. Responsive to determining that the real-world image is not optimal, the real-world image is iteratively tuned, using the generator network of the GAN, until it is determined that the real-world image is optimal, where the real-world image is optimal if the real-world image meets a predetermined threshold for accuracy of one or more image parameters of the simulated image versus the real-world image. The discriminator network of the GAN is trained with the real-world image.

Abstract: An ambidextrous magazine release for a firearm is provided. The magazine release may include a release rod configured to be operably coupled to the firearm, and a lever operably connected to the release rod and rotatable relative thereto. A portion of the lever may be configured to engage a magazine received within the firearm. When a first force in a first direction is applied to the release rod, the release rod may move the lever to cause the lever to disengage the magazine. When a second force in a second direction is applied to the lever, the lever may rotate relative to the release rod to disengage the magazine.

Abstract: A surrounding environment recognition device includes an image capturing unit that captures a peripheral image, and a traffic signal detecting unit, which sets a search region with respect to the peripheral image, and detects a traffic signal inside of the search region. The search region becomes smaller as the distance from the image capturing unit is farther away.

Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a real-time dashboard for proving a user within a department of medicine with real-time information regarding availability and demand for hospital beds throughout a department of medicine. The dashboard can be used to track patients from a point of entry to occupation of a bed. The dashboard also tracks needs from different points of admission such as the emergency department. The user can view the status of beds and the data can be further segmented by a level of care needed by the patient. The needs and preferences of different departments within the main department of medicine can be integrated with the availability and demand information provided by the dashboard. An alert system can also be implemented using the dashboard in order to allow the user to identify bottlenecks in the placement of patients in appropriate hospital beds.

Abstract: A system and method for estimating a location of an object or vehicle is provided. Images of a region encompassing the object are obtained, providing a three dimensional (3-D) view frame of the region. 3-D view frames are collected along a direction of travel of the object. A 3-D map is generated along the direction of travel of the object, the map based on the 3-D view frames and further based on an estimate of motion of the object at times associated with the 3-D view frames. A first set of features is extracted from the 3-D map. A geo-referenced feature database is searched for a second set of features that match the first set of features. A geo-location associated with the second set of features is retrieved from the feature database. The location of the object is estimated based on the retrieved geo-location.

Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to a pharmacologic system to modulate the biology of platelets based upon a nucleic acid ligand that can interact with and modulate the activity of platelet glycoprotein GPVI to regulate platelet function. These nucleic acid ligands are also actively reversible using a modulator that inhibits the activity of the nucleic acid ligand to neutralize this pharmacologic effect and thereby restore GPVI function, including collagen binding, platelet adhesion, collagen-induced platelet activation, and collagen-induced platelet aggregation. The invention further relates to compositions comprising the nucleic acid ligand, the ligand and a modulator, methods to generate the nucleic acid ligand and its modulator, as well as methods of using these agents and compositions in medical therapeutic and diagnostic procedures.
