Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for generating a customized display in a vehicle. The customized display may be generated on the basis of various factors such as a reason for executing a trip, a preferred travel model, and/or operating parameters of the vehicle. A few exemplary reasons for executing a trip can include taking a vacation, delivering a package, dropping off a passenger, dining out, going to work, a fuel fill up, and/or for charging a battery. A computer may utilize such reasons to identify objects of interest in a geographical area surrounding the vehicle when the vehicle is executing the trip and generate a customized display that includes these objects. For example, when the reason for executing the trip is a vacation, the objects in the customized display may include a tourist attraction, a landmark, a fueling station, an electric charging station, and/or a restaurant.

Abstract: A selectable vehicle profile for an electrified vehicle (EV) may be communicated to a vehicle controller to modify vehicle acceleration, generate simulated engine sounds, customize the look and feel of a vehicle instrument cluster/panel display and/or human-machine interface(s) (HMI) (including gages, menus, displays, colors etc.), control transmission simulated shift schedule and feel, control active suspension/ride control, and similar features so that the EV operates to provide a driving experience similar to a previously profiled vehicle, such as a non-electrified vehicle. Vehicle profiles may be generated by an OEM or after-market supplier based on actual measurements and/or specifications associated with operation of a particular non-electrified vehicle. The vehicle profile may be licensed for download to the EV, and/or made available through a subscription service, for example.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a controller, programmed to responsive to identifying a first user via a mobile device, load a first non-person entity associated with the first user from the mobile device to configure vehicle settings, the first non-person entity including a driver setting, a first entertainment setting and a second entertainment setting; and responsive to identifying a second user entering the vehicle, switch from the first entertainment setting to a second entertainment setting.

Abstract: A system includes a processor that receives an authentication request, at a vehicle, from an application executing on a device in communication with the vehicle, including a security designation. The receiving vehicle then determines if the vehicle has access to a primary security authentication system corresponding to the security designation. The vehicle also, responsive to the vehicle having access, utilizes the primary authentication system to authenticate a user via the determined primary security authentication system and provide user credentials, obtained based on successful use of the primary authentication system, to the device.

Abstract: The present invention defines six unexpected benefits resulting from the automation of and improvements to inventory reconciliation and tank level monitoring at tank farms, terminals and refineries, commonly associated with refining and the transportation of, hydrocarbon fuels. In the implementation of an automated system for tank level monitoring and periodic inventory reconciliation, it has been discovered that both applications can be used to correctly identify maintenance needs and policy violations that were previously unable to be identified. The benefits include identification of thermal relief valve failure, transmix check valve failure, lock out/tag out failure, floating roof landing, and incorrect tank assignments.

Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat bottom, seat back, and occupant pack support. The seat bottom is adapted for use in a substantially horizontal position. The seat back resides adjacent the seat bottom, and comprises a back support surface adapted for use in a substantially upright position. The occupant pack support resides adjacent the back support surface of the seat back, and defines a generally flat inwardly-projecting shelf for vertically supporting an equipment pack carried on a back of an occupant seated in the assembly.

Abstract: Temporarily increasing a credit limit of the credit account to accommodate a purchase by a buyer for goods and/or services from a merchant. An account management module can receive a request to increase the credit limit via an interface. The request can include information regarding the purchase and information regarding the credit limit increase, including an amount by which to increase the credit limit. The request also can include rules for decreasing the credit limit at the end of the credit limit increase term. The account management module can process the credit limit increase and decrease, in accordance with the request. The account management module also can transmit an email to the merchant with credit account information needed to process the purchase. For example, the email can include a link to a web site at which the merchant can obtain the credit account information upon successful completion of an authentication procedure.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to LINGO-1 polypeptides, LINGO-1 polypeptide/ligand complexes, crystals of LINGO-1 polypeptides, crystals of LINGO-1 polypeptide/ligand complexes, and related methods and software systems.

Abstract: A process of using solutions containing thiosulfate and/or chloride salt reagents to remove SO3 and H2SO4 acid gases from a flue gas. The solution is injected into a moving volume of flue gas to achieve a droplet size that enables the solution to dry on contact with the flue gas, generating dried particles of the reagent that react with the SO3 and H2SO4 acid gases yielding a salt precipitate. SO2 present in the flue gas may also be absorbed with the solution, with a subsequent reaction yielding bisulfite species that, upon drying of the droplet, react with the SO3 and H2SO4 acid gases to form salts that are removed from the gas. The removal of these acid gases from a flue gas reduce corrosion of equipment used in coal or oil fired power plants downstream of the injection cite.

Abstract: Anti-IL-13 antibodies, crystals of anti-IL-13 antibodies, IL-13 polypeptide/anti-IL-13 antibody complexes, crystals of IL-13 polypeptide/anti-IL-13 antibody complexes, IL-13R?1 polypeptide/IL-13 polypeptide/anti-IL-13 antibody complexes, crystals of IL-13R?1 polypeptide/IL-13 polypeptide/anti-IL-13 antibody complexes, and related methods and software systems are disclosed.
