Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for augmented reality vehicle condition inspection. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a location analyzer to determine whether a camera is at an inspection location and directed towards a first vehicle in an inspection profile, the inspection location corresponding to a location of the camera relative to the first vehicle, an interface generator to generate an indication on a display that the camera is at the inspection location, the indication associated with an inspection image being captured, and an image analyzer to compare the inspection image captured at the inspection location with a reference image taken of a reference vehicle of a same type as the first vehicle, and determine a vehicle part condition or a vehicle condition based on the comparison of the inspection image and the reference image.

Abstract: A method for the functional testing of a pressure generator assembly in an electronically slip-controllable power braking system having redundant brake pressure generation for an autonomously drivable motor vehicle. The method relates to carry out a regular test of the functional capacity of a secondary pressure generator assembly. A primary pressure generator assembly and the secondary pressure generator assembly are hydraulically connected, parallel to one another, to a brake circuit to which a wheel brake is connected. During the method, the wheel brake is decoupled from the brake circuit. At least one pressure generator of the primary pressure generator assembly, or a pressure generator of the secondary pressure generator assembly, is actuated in order to apply pressure to the brake circuit.

The radiofrequency coil (1) comprises a plurality of conducting elements (2) connected together to form a continuous conducting path. Each conducting element (2) of the plurality of conducting elements are arranged in substantially parallel surfaces such that the area bounded by each conducting element (2) overlaps with at least 20% of the area bounded by another of the conducting elements (2) in another parallel surface.

Abstract: The present invention includes a load frame test device using a plurality of levers about a common pivot point for applying combinations of tensile loading and bending on test articles at magnitudes seen in offshore applications.

Abstract: A method of and system for translating a software resource of an application in real time is disclosed. The method may include receiving an indication to load the software resource, the software resource being in a first language, determining if the first language is a preferred language for a user, if the first language is not the preferred language for the user, sending a request to a machine translation model to translate the software resource from the first language to the preferred language, receiving a translated software resource in the preferred language, and loading the translated software resource.

Abstract: The present document describes a plant growth support, comprising: a stake having an elongated body with a longitudinal axis and having a first end being removably fixable to the ground, a second end having a connecting member being sized and shaped for receiving a rod in said longitudinal axis and at least one connecting member projecting at an angle from the longitudinal axis for receiving a rod, and an anti-tipping member radially extending from the elongated body and being located between the first and second ends for preventing tipping of the stake in the ground; and at least one vertical rod received in one of the connecting members, the vertical rod is adapted to receive at least one of a plant part, a horizontal rod, a trellis, slanted fingers, and an irrigation system part.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for detecting mechanophore damage in a composite material where the mechanophores are embedded in a matrix of the composite material. A mechanical load is applied to the composite material. A damage precursor signal is generated as a result of the mechanical load and is detected before yield of the mechanophore embedded composite material. Detecting the damage precursor signal may include illuminating the mechanophore embedded composite material with UV light to excite the embedded mechanophores, capturing fluorescent emissions of the embedded mechanophores with a UV camera, and filtering light received at the UV camera based on an emission wavelength of the mechanophores. Alternatively, the damage precursor signal may be detected using spectra from an evanescent wave distorted by the mechanophore embedded composite material using an attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) system.

Abstract: A cooktop ventilation appliance or system for providing ventilation for a domestic cooking appliance, includes a housing configured to communicate with a ventilation device to convey air from an environment around the domestic cooking appliance into the housing, and a smoke detection and alarm system including at least one sensor configured to detect a density of particles in the air conveyed by the ventilation device, and a control unit in communication with the at least one sensor. The control unit is configured to compare the density of particles detected by the at least one sensor to a predetermined threshold particle density at a given air speed of the air being conveyed and activate an alarm if the density of particles detected by the at least one sensor exceeds the predetermined threshold particle density for the given air speed.

Abstract: A cabinet for a CPAP machine includes a base assembly with two side panels, front and rear panels, a top panel slidably mounted atop the base assembly, and a pull-out tray mounted within the base assembly. The top panel is movable between a storage position in which the top panel encloses an upper end of the base assembly, and an access position in which the top panel allows top access into an interior of the base assembly. The pull-out tray is movable between a stowed position in which the pull-out tray is entirely within the base assembly and an extended position in which the pull-out tray extends at least partially out of the base assembly. Each of the side panels defines an opening at an upper end configured to enable a hose of the CPAP machine to pass from the interior of the base assembly to the exterior.
