Abstract: A system and method for estimating journey destinations is disclosed. The system comprises a driving history module, a frequency module, a duration module, a direction module, a metric module and a quality module. The driving history module retrieves a set of learning parameters including driver history data describing one or more past journeys. The frequency module analyzes the learning parameters to determine a candidate set including data describing frequent start locations and frequent end locations for one or more potential journeys to one or more destinations. The duration module estimates journey duration data for the one or more potential journeys. The direction module estimates direction data describing one or more directions for the one or more potential journeys. The metric module determines one or more metrics for the one or more potential journeys. The quality module determines one or more quality scores for the one or more potential journeys.

Abstract: A system and method for forgetting data in a navigation system is disclosed. The system comprises a monitor module, a determination module and a delete module. The monitor module detects a trigger event. The determination module determines a classification for the trigger event. The determination module determines a set of learning parameters to delete from a memory associated with a navigation system based at least in part on detection of the trigger event and the classification of the trigger event. The delete module deletes the determined set of learning parameters.

Abstract: A system and method for establishing a journey destination endpoint is disclosed. The system comprises a communication module, a stop classification module and an endpoint establishment module. The communication module receives a stream of data including a first data element and a second data element from a global positioning system. The communication module receives a set of sensor data from one or more sensors. The stop classification module detects a stop for a traveling vehicle based at least in part on the stream of data and the set of sensor data. The stop classification module applies one or more metric criteria to the first data element and the second data element to determine a type of the stop. The endpoint establishment module establishes a journey destination endpoint based on the type of the stop. The endpoint establishment module associates the journey destination endpoint with retrieval identification data.

Abstract: A system and method for estimating journey destinations is disclosed. The system comprises a conversion module, a frequency module, a metric module, a quality module and a summary module. The conversion module converts a set of driver history data to a set of learning parameters. The frequency module analyzes the set of learning parameters and current journey data to generate estimated journey data describing one or more potential journeys. The metric module analyzes the estimated journey data and the set of current status data to determine one or more metrics associated with the estimated journey data. The quality module determines one or more quality scores associated with the estimated journey data. The summary module determines one or more status summaries and one or more estimate summaries. The summary module associates the one or more status summaries and the one or more estimate summaries with the estimated journey data.

Abstract: An improved lath and rain screen assembly for fastening to an exterior building surface or the like is provided. The lath and rain screen assembly comprises a rain screen configured to encourage ventilation and drying, and a lath configured to receive at least a portion of a first mortar layer. In various embodiments, the rain screen comprises a first and a second body, defining respective co-parallel first and second planes, while the lath comprises a third body spaced apart from and substantially parallel to at least the first plane. In certain embodiments, the first body and the lath are spaced apart so as to provide a first intermediate pathway. In certain embodiments, the first intermediate pathway is at least partially defined by the second body of the rain screen. A method of applying the improved lath and rain screen assembly is also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing lightweight aggregate concrete utilizing fully saturated aggregate particles includes a vacuum vessel that discharges substantially directly into a concrete mixer that combines the aggregates with quantities of cement and water to create a batch of lightweight aggregate concrete. The vacuum vessel receives a supply of non-saturated lightweight aggregates from a bulk supply bin. A pump evacuates the air from the vessel until a desired vacuum level is attained, which evacuates air from the pores and interstitial spaces within the aggregate particles. The volume of water needed to fully saturate the aggregates within the vessel is fed into the vessel to create fully saturated aggregates that are subsequently discharged into the concrete mixer. The second volume of water needed to hydrate the cement is added to the vessel to flush out the vessel and be discharged into the concrete mixer to produce the batch of concrete.

Abstract: A method (80) of manufacturing an electrochemical cell having electrodes and a separator element is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of providing (81) a mixture consisting of either an electroactive or inert material and a polymeric binder, transferring (83) the mixture into a pressure vessel, introducing (85) a gas into the pressure vessel, adjusting (87) the pressure and temperature inside of the pressure vessel such that the gas reaches a critical point at which the gas behaves like a supercritical fluid, and spraying (89) the mixture onto at least one of the current collecting substrates, electrodes and/or the separator element.

Abstract: An electrode coating with improved adhesion to substrates comprises small particles of an active material that are preferentially distributed at the interface with the supporting substrate.

Abstract: A system is disclosed comprising a goal and kicking pad for practicing kicking for football and soccer. The goal portion provides a yoke through which a football is kicked, the yoke being selectively elevated on a post connected to a base. The goal is configurable as a soccer goal by turning the yoke downward and angling the post as a diagonal support between the base and the yoke. For field goal kicking, the kicking pad securely holds a football in a desired position above a surface, and is quickly adjustable to any desired position without tools. The kicking pad operates equally well for kicking with a right foot or a left foot.

Abstract: A paint roller cleaning device includes a housing covered with a cover to hold the cylindrical brush of the paint roller on the inside, a spray tube received inside the housing and controlled to eject water onto the cylindrical brush of the paint roller causing the cylindrical brush washed or causing it turned to shake off water.

Abstract: Aqueous compositions containing a polyligand solution polymer in which the ligand groups are carboxylic acid groups, saponified in part with ammonia and polyvalent metal ions which form complexes with ammonia.
