Abstract: Provided herein is a computing system including a processor in communication with at least one memory. The processor is configured to (i) build a model using historical vehicle telematics data and historical vehicle data, the model configured to: (a) predict an operating cost of a vehicle based upon a vehicle type and user data and (b) output operational parameters for operating the vehicle, (ii) receive a vehicle acquisition request for a selected vehicle including vehicle data for the selected vehicle and selected user data for the user of the selected vehicle, (iii) input the vehicle acquisition request data into the model, and (iv) output from the model an acquisition cost and operational parameters for the selected vehicle and the selected user including a procurement cost for the selected vehicle and an operating cost for operating the selected vehicle within the operational parameters for a predetermined time period.

Abstract: A matching computer system for electronically generating, matching, and providing online user profiles, and determining a sharing score between the online user profiles is provided. The matching computer system may be configured to generate online user profiles associated with users of the systems. The matching computer system may be also configured to calculate a base score based upon the generated online user profile. Each base score represents a level of trustworthiness of each respective user. The matching computer system may be further configured to determine a sharing score between users based upon the base scores. Each sharing score represents a level of matching between the online user profiles.

Abstract: A damper coupler is provided. The damper coupler includes a first portion coupled to a first surface of a damper. The damper is removably coupled to a body of a vehicle. The damper coupler further includes a second portion coupled to a first section of the body of the vehicle. The damper coupler further includes a first mid-portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion. The first mid-portion transfers a first load between the first portion and the second portion, to limit a shear force in the damper.

Abstract: A damper coupler is provided. The damper coupler includes a first portion coupled to a first section of a body of a vehicle. The damper coupler further includes a second portion coupled to a second section of the body of the vehicle. The second portion extends through the second section and connects with a portion of a damper, which is removably coupled to the body of the vehicle. The damper coupler furthers include a first mid-portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion. The first mid-portion transfers a first load between the first portion and the second portion, to limit a shear force in the damper.

Abstract: Apparatus, method, and graphical user interface (GUI) for presentation and navigation of code path data. Code path data samples, including temporal data, related to a plurality of code paths of program code are used to render an interactive GUI including a set of graphical elements representing a corresponding set of code paths. Each graphical element indicates resource utilization changes associated with a respective code path over a time period. The set of graphical elements are visually arranged in a first dimension and the period of time is indicated in a second dimension. Different techniques are used to represent resource utilization over time including extending the graphical elements in a third dimension or changing a width of the graphical elements within a plane defined by the first dimension and the second dimension.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for treating endometriosis in an individual, and the pain associated with endometriosis. Aspects of the methods include administering to the individual an agent that promotes ALDH activity.

Abstract: Methods of modulating the interaction between calcineurin and a calcineurin-binding protein partner are provided. Aspects of the methods include contacting a cell with a peptidic agent that modulates the interaction between calcineurin and a TRPV channel. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions that comprise a peptidic agent that selectively modulates the interaction between calcineurin and a calcineurin-binding protein partner. Also provided are methods of treating a condition in a subject by selectively modulating the interaction between calcineurin and a calcineurin-binding TRPV channel. Also provided are screening methods to identify candidate agents that modulate calcineurin protein-protein interactions.

Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying content to be outputted during an output of a video are described. A processor may identify a section in a video image of the video. The processor may assign a classification type to the section. The processor may output the video including the set of video images. The processor may detect an interaction with the section during the output of the video. The processor may identify, in response to detecting the interaction, content associated with the classification type assigned to the section in the video image. The processor may output the identified content during the output of the video.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer-readable medium is disclosed for determining a sequence order for vehicles in one or more image frames from an operational video, the operational video acquired from a fixed video camera comprising a field of view associated with a vehicle merge area where upstream traffic from a first lane and upstream traffic from a second lane merge to a single lane. The method can include obtaining operational video from a fixed video camera; detecting, within a region of interest (ROI) of the one or more image frames from the operational video, a first area and a second area in the vehicle merge area using a trained classifier that is trained to detect the first area and the second area; and determining the sequence order of the vehicles based on the first area and the second area that are detected.
