Abstract: In one aspect, a system for detecting ground engaging tool float for an agricultural implement may include an implement having a ground engaging tool pivotally coupled to a frame and a biasing element coupled between the frame and the ground engaging tool. The biasing element may be configured to bias the ground engaging tool to a predetermined ground engaging tool position relative to the frame. The system may also include a sensor configured to detect a parameter indicative of a current position of the ground engaging tool relative to the frame. Additionally, the system may include a controller configured to monitor the current position of the ground engaging tool based on measurement signals received from the sensor and identify a time period across which the ground engaging tool is displaced from the predetermined ground engaging tool position.

Abstract: In an example method, a request message including a request for a multiuser content recommendation is received at a network device from a first user device over a communications network. The network device identifies at least a first user account and a second user account based on the request message. The first user account is associated with the first user device and the second user account is associated with a second user device. The network device identifies respective user information associated with the first and second user accounts. The network device identifies content for recommendation with respect to the first and second user accounts based on the respective user information. The network device transmits, over the communications network, a respective content message to the first user device and second user device. Each content message includes the identified content and instructions to display the content on the respective first user device or second user device.

Abstract: A system provides camera position and point cloud estimation 3D reconstruction. The system receives images and attempts existing structure integration to integrate the images into an existing reconstruction under a sequential image reception assumption. If existing structure integration fails, the system attempts dictionary overlap detection by accessing a dictionary database and searching to find a closest matching frame in the existing reconstruction. If overlaps are found, the system matches the images with the overlaps to determine a highest probability frame from the overlaps, and attempts existing structure integration again. If overlaps are not found or existing structure integration fails again, the system attempts bootstrapping based on the images. If any of existing structure integration, dictionary overlap detection, or bootstrapping succeeds, and if multiple disparate tracks have come to exist, the system attempts reconstructed track merging.

Also disclosed are process intermediate compounds useful for preparing compounds of Formula 1.

Abstract: Many users of information handling systems use applications to create, manage, and/or save files containing information. Encryption of the files secures the data against access by unintended recipients. Information handling systems may be designed to perform encryption in the background with minimal user input. For example, applications, application plug-ins, or operating system (OS) level system services may facilitate encryption and decryption of application files with minimal user input. Such applications, plugins, and services may allow applications to interact with encryption systems, such as virtual file systems, and may direct file save and access operations through the encryption systems, automatically encrypting and decrypting files selected by the user without exposing the user to cumbersome or confusing encryption options.

Abstract: A system for tracking a fleet of vehicles and analyzing a driver associated with the fleet of vehicles. The system includes a monitoring engine for receiving information from a vehicle-tracking device associated with a vehicle of the fleet. A mapping engine displays, to a user, an icon indicative of an incident on a map. A video repository engine receives video data from a video camera associated with the vehicle and associates an incident video with the icon. A driver analysis engine obtains the incident information associated with a plurality of drivers and analyzes the incident information associated with the driver to generate a driver profile. The driver analysis engine compares the driver with corresponding drivers in the same and other fleets.
