  • Publication number: 20240075930
    Abstract: A system has memory that stores instructions executable by the processor to instruct operation of at least one vehicle system (e.g., braking system, propulsion system, steering system, suspension system) in a minimum time mode for travel of the vehicle from a starting point to a destination point of a roadway. The system collects roadway data for the roadway from the starting point to the destination point. Based on the roadway data, the system determine a minimum time path from the starting point to the destination point and speed along the minimum time path. In response to a maximum acceleration input from a human driver of the vehicle when the vehicle is at the starting point, the system initiates the minimum time mode and instructs operation of at least one vehicle system to pursue the minimum time path and speed along the minimum time path from starting point to destination point.

  • Patent number: 10416212
    Abstract: A test point circuit includes a main RF signal path (e.g., transmission line, lumped-element network, etc.), a test point RF signal circuit, a test point structure having a center conductor and corresponding grounded sleeve and being configured for connecting to a test probe for monitoring the RF signal carried through the main RF signal path, and a switch between the main RF signal path and the test point RF signal circuit. In the open position of the switch, the signal in the main RF signal path is prevented from propagating to the center conductor of the test point structure. In the closed position of the switch, the RF signal can propagate from the main RF signal path to the center conductor of the test point structure. The test probe mated to the test point structure can then measure or monitor the RF signal carried through the main RF signal path.

  • Publication number: 20090155815
    Abstract: A crystallized human ACC2 CT protein as well as a description of the X-ray diffraction pattern of the crystal are disclosed. The diffraction pattern allows the three dimensional structure of human ACC2 CT to be determined at atomic resolution so that ligand binding sites on human ACC2 CT can be identified and the interactions of ligands with human ACC2 CT amino acid residues can be modeled. Models prepared using such maps permit the design of ligands which can function as active agents which include, but are not limited to, those that function as inhibitors of human ACC2 and human ACC1 proteins.

  • Publication number: 20090111711
    Abstract: A high-density high-throughput microplate and methods for simultaneously screening a plurality of protein crystallization solutions and for producing diffraction quality protein crystals in a vapor-diffusion environment are disclosed. The microplate has defined side-by-side paired chambers of equal size, wherein the side-by-side paired chambers have a maximum volume of about 8 ?l, and wherein the paired chambers have a vapor channel, therein providing vapor exchange between the side-by-side paired chambers. The microplate further includes a membrane to seal the surface of the microplate. The microplate is adapted to receive a crystallization solution in one of the side-by-side paired chambers and a protein solution in the other of the side-by-side paired chambers, wherein the protein solution and the crystallization solution interact via a vapor diffusion process, which enables the formation of protein crystals within the chamber that contains the protein solution.
