Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates systems and techniques for classification of signs and gestures pertaining to traffic and, more specifically, to autonomous vehicle based classification of signs and gestures of humans controlling traffic (HCTs). In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a process for identifying, using one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle (AV), a human controlling traffic (HCT) and recognizing a set of instructions from the HCT, wherein the set of instructions comprises a set of sensory data. In some aspects, the process can further include operations for modifying a trajectory of the AV based on the set of instructions received from the HCT and based on a determination on whether the set of instructions are intended for the AV.

Abstract: A dispensing system (40, 40A) includes a body (54, 54A) having an outer wall (56, 56A) defining a volume for storing a substance, the outer wall (64, 64A) having a top end (66, 66A) and a sealed bottom end (70, 70A). The top end (66, 66A) is covered by a flexible lid (56, 56A) that is connected to the body (54, 54A). The lid (56, 56A) has a press portion (88, 88A) for being engaged to move the lid (56, 56A) from a first position into a second, deflected position. A post (58, 58A) is connected to the lid (56, 56A) and is configured in the second position of the lid (56, 56A) to breach the sealed bottom end (70, 70A) to form a dispensing orifice (80, 80A) to accommodate movement of a substance out of the body (54, 54A).

Abstract: A dispenser is provided for dispensing tablets. The dispenser generally includes a housing and a compartment. The compartment is pivotable with respect to the housing between a dispensing position and a non-dispensing position. The dispenser may also include a biasing member to bias the compartment to the non-dispensing position and a rib to resist accidental pivoting of the compartment.

Abstract: A closure system is provided for a container. The system has a body for extending from the container at the container opening. The body defines a dispensing orifice. A lid is provided for covering the orifice. The body has a bearing member with two spaced-apart lower walls for defining a channel for receiving a pivot shaft on the lid. At least one deformable wall projects from one of the body bearing member lower walls for being inelastically deformed over at least a portion of the width of the channel and lid pivot shaft to prevent removal of the lid pivot shaft from the channel. Another form of the invention includes the closure system after the deformable wall has been deformed. Another form of the invention includes the method for making the closure system.

Abstract: A tamper-evident closure system is provided for a container. The system has a body for extending from the container at the container opening. The body defines a dispensing orifice and an attachment surface. The system includes a lid for being moved between a closed position and an open position. An anchor member is provided for being attached to the body attachment surface when the lid is first closed on the body. At least one frangible web initially connects the anchor member with the lid so that the frangible web breaks when the lid is initially lifted from the closed position.

Abstract: A closure system is provided for a container. The system has a body for extending from the container at the container opening. The body defines a dispensing orifice. A lid is provided for covering the orifice. The body has a bearing member with two spaced-apart walls for defining a channel for receiving a pivot shaft on the lid. At least one deflectable finger projects from one of the body bearing member walls for being temporarily, elastically deflected to accommodate the insertion of the lid pivot shaft into the channel. The finger is resilient, and moves back over the lid pivot shaft to prevent removal of the lid pivot shaft from the channel.

Abstract: A closure system is provided for a container. The system has a body for extending from the container at the container opening. The body defines a dispensing orifice. A lid is provided for covering the orifice. The body has a bearing member with a laterally outer wall and a laterally inner wall which together define a channel for receiving a pivot shaft on the lid. At least one flap is hingedly attached to one of the body bearing member lateral walls and is initially positioned to expose the channel to permit mounting the lid pivot shaft in the channel. The flap can be subsequently folded over the channel and lid pivot shaft, and the distal end of the flap can be attached to the other lateral wall to form a bridge which prevents removal of the lid pivot shaft from the channel. Another form of the invention includes the fully completed closure system after the flap has been folded over and attached. Another form of the invention includes the method for making the closure system.

Abstract: A method and device for testing a substantially cylindrical tool having an axis is performed by imparting a testing torque to the cylindrical tool. The tool is clamped in a vise. The tool has a driven end including a shank and a working end in opposed relation along the axis. The vise is configured to clamp the tool to prevent rotation of the tool about the axis. The shank is clamped in a chuck. The chuck has a adapter defining a void configured to engagingly receive a socket drive shaft. A torque wrench having a lever arm and a socket driver shaft is engaged by insertion of the socket drive shaft into the void. A torque is imparted to the cylindrical tool about its axis by suitably imparting a force on the lever arm. The quantum of torque imparted is measured based upon operation of the torque wrench.

Abstract: A light source is employed for an image capturing apparatus and a light-sensing device of the image capturing apparatus respectively senses a plurality of color regions to form an image captured. The light source comprises a lighting source and a light-guiding means, and the light-guiding means guides a light from the light source to an object to capture an image. An intensity of one color region of the color regions of the light from the light source is higher than that of other color regions.

Abstract: A plurality of node index records are created in a database containing stored scanned image data and related index files. The node index records are batched in accordance with a hierarchy of documents from which they were derived. The index node records are stored in a work queue which is divided into stages. The first stage of the work queue includes a system administrator connected to the database which identifies a work flow comprising several processes to be carried out on the node index records and related image files. A plurality of workstations networked to the database carry out the work flow process and upon completion of each process, restores the index node records to a lower stage of the work queue where subsequent processes are carried out by the networked computer workstations.
