Abstract: A DC electric motor having a stator mounted to a substrate, the stator having a coil assembly having a magnetic core, a rotor mounted to the stator with permanent magnets distributed radially about the rotor, the permanent magnets extending beyond the magnetic core, and sensors mounted to the substrate adjacent the permanent magnets. During operation of the motor passage of the permanent magnets over the sensors produces a substantially sinusoidal signal of varying voltage substantially without noise and/or saturation, allowing an angular position of the rotor to be determined from the sinusoidal signals by utilizing a transformation matrix or piece-wise algorithm applied in substantially linear portions of the sinusoidal signals without requiring use of additional hardware encoder or position sensors and without requiring noise-reduction or filtering of the signal.

The enclosure includes a power connection compartment to terminate the high-voltage, a power conversion compartment housing power conversion equipment to convert the high voltage into a lower voltage DC output and/or an AC power output, and a data connection compartment housing data communication equipment to establish communication between the at least one optical fiber and a plurality of ports for twisted pair cable connectors.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body, a lock, a tailgate, an ejector, an actuator, a second actuator, and a processor. The body defines a receptacle for storing refuse. The lock is coupled to the body and is configured to releasably secure a movable tailgate. The receptacle contains the ejector. The ejector can transition from a first position that is spaced from the tailgate to a second position proximate the tailgate. The actuator is configured to transition the ejector from the first position to the second position. The second actuator is configured to move the tailgate. The processor is configured to selectively unlock the tailgate and transition the ejector from the first position to the second position in response to receiving a single input to thereby eject refuse from the receptacle without receiving multiple inputs.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a built-in “app” editor for an information technology (IT) and security operations application that enables users to create, modify, and test operation of apps under development within the editor. Some IT and security operations applications enable users to extend the applications by adding connectivity to third party technologies to run custom actions. For example, a user might create a custom app to enable an IT and security operations application to connect to an external service providing information about malicious Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, to connect to a relevant cloud provider service, or to interact with a firewall or other type of computing device used in a user's computing environment. Given the broad set of technologies that can be orchestrated by an IT and security operations application, apps broadly enable users to add custom functionality to interface with virtually any technology of interest.

Abstract: Storage level query processing may be implemented for processing database queries. Nodes that can access a database may perform parallel processing for at least a portion of a database query. An indication may be received that specifies parallel processing for the database query. The nodes can then be caused to perform the portion of the query as part of providing a result in response to the database query instead of a node, such as a query engine node, that received the database query.

Abstract: A database engine may track granularity levels for accessing a spatial index. Granularity levels of a spatial index may be evaluated to identify those granularity levels that identify data objects in a data set. An indication of the identified granularity levels may be stored as part of metadata for the data set. When a spatial query directed to the data set is received, the spatial index may be accessed at the identified granularity levels indicated in the metadata for the data set as part of processing the spatial query.
