Abstract: An external sensor array housing projects sensor in a hazardous forestry environment in which there are tree falls, tree limb impacts, and tree debris. The external sensor array housing may be mounted to a suitable external portion of a forestry vehicle, such as on the roof. A variety of protective features are provided against tree strikes, tree limb impacts, and tree debris.

Abstract: A forestry vehicle includes a number of different sensors, including LIDAR. A two-stage SLAM technique is used in combination with landmark trees to generate a tree map. This SLAM technique avoids large loop closures by resolving point cloud data into an arrangement of landmarks, reducing the computational working set to support real-time operations. A variety of services and visualizations are supported by the tree map.

Abstract: A sequencing data analysis platform can process datasets that include a large number of sequence read. The reads are aligned to one or more reference genomes. Due to sequencing errors, sequencing noise, or genuine differences between a reference genome and the individual species being sequenced, this mapping process may tolerate a certain number of mismatches, insertions, or deletions. The sequencing data analysis platform provides a set of tools for analyzing and visualizing the sequence reads.

Abstract: A method for identifying emitting species (S1-SN) emitting X- or gamma radiation in a scene, wherein a spectrum of the radiation is supplied as input of a first set of a plurality of convolutional neural networks, each convolutional neural network of the first set being associated with at least one atomic species to be identified and having at least one output indicative of the presence or the absence of the atomic species in the scene. Advantageously, a second set of a plurality of convolutional neural networks makes it possible to determine a signal proportion of each emitting species present in the X- or gamma radiation emanating from the scene. Also disclosed is a device for implementing such a method.

Abstract: An implantable support implantable in a neophallus to support a neopenis includes a first tubular sleeve extending from a proximal end portion to a distal end portion; a first base coupled to the proximal end portion of the first tubular sleeve, where the first base is adapted to be secured to a pubic ramus of a pelvis; and a first opening formed in the first tubular sleeve, where the first opening communicates with a recess that is sized to receive an implantable penile prosthesis. The first tubular sleeve is adapted to provide the neophallus with an artificial tunica located between the recess and the neophallus of the neopenis.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a dog food composition comprising from about 10% by weight to about 20% by weight of fat, from about 5% by weight to about 15% by weight of fibers and from about 30% by weight to about 60% by weight proteins, the weight percentages being based on the total weight of dry matter of the composition.

Abstract: An intra vaginal device (10) including an elongated hollow body (11) with side wall portions (15, 16 and 24). Secured to each wall portion (15 and 24) is a sensor (19), while secured to the wall portion (16) is a sensor (20). The sensors (19) simply measure forces directly applied by the bi-lateral contraction of the pubococcygeus, while the sensor (20) provides an indication of the puborectalis contraction forces.

Abstract: A vehicle with improved body—closure impact performance may include a frame having an outer side and an inner side, the frame comprising a door opening, a door sill secured to the frame and extending along an edge of the door opening, the door sill extruded to comprise an elongate cavity; and a door secured to the frame and comprising an elongate protrusion, the door movable between an open position and a closed position, where the elongate cavity is positioned to receive the elongate protrusion when the door is in the closed position.

Abstract: An articulating mechanism for opening and closing a vehicle door utilizes a first mechanism having a first motion profile and a second mechanism having a second motion profile. To open the door, the first mechanism begins the first motion profile before the second mechanism begins the second motion profile. To close the door, the second mechanism completes the second motion profile before the first mechanism completes the first motion profile.

Abstract: A blower assembly is configured to deliver a flow of breathable gas at a continuously positive pressure with respect to ambient air pressure to a patient interface in communication with an entrance to a patient's airways including at least an entrance of the patient's nares, while the patient is sleeping, to ameliorate sleep disordered breathing. The blower assembly includes a motor having a shaft that extends from opposite sides of the motor. The blower assembly also includes an impeller and a circuit board.
