Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an automation kit for an agricultural vehicle that includes a kit controller configured to receive feedback from at least one sensor, to receive a mission path, and to receive a location signal from a locating device, where the kit controller is configured to control a velocity of the agricultural vehicle based at least on the mission path, the feedback, and the location signal. The automation kit also includes a vehicle interface configured to communicatively couple the kit controller to a bus of the agricultural vehicle, where the bus is communicatively coupled to at least a brake controller configured to control a hydraulic valve of a braking system of the agricultural vehicle, and the kit controller is configured to control the velocity at least by selectively sending a signal to the brake controller to control the braking system.

Abstract: A workstation and method for the installation of a pulling head assembly onto one or more conductors of a cabling system are provided. The workstation incorporates one or more of: a conductor clamp that holds the conductors of the cabling system in place during the installation of the pulling head assembly; a cutting guide having indicia marks that indicate the lengths to which to cut the conductors in order to achieve a staggered pattern of pulling eyes attached to the conductors in the pulling head assembly; a stripping tool that is used to remove a portion of the insulation from the terminal end of each conductor so that the end of the conductor may be inserted into the pulling eye; and a crimping tool that is used to crimp the pulling eyes onto the terminal ends of each of the conductors.

Abstract: A method for minimizing tissue adhesion at an injured site is provided, the method comprising applying a biocellulose material to the injured site, whereby the adhesion of the tissues at the injured site is minimized, wherein the biocellulose material is at least partially dehydrated. Another embodiment provides an implantable material, which effectively prevents cell adhesion and has desirable mechanical properties.

Abstract: A communications connector includes an electrically non-conductive connector body having a terminal face. A plurality of connector terminals are positioned on the terminal face and arranged in a plurality of Tip/Ring terminal pairs, which are positioned substantially linearly with each other along the terminal face and arranged in alternating vertical and horizontal orientation of Tip/Ring terminal pairs and spaced to each other such that crosstalk among the Tip/Ring terminal pairs is cancelled.

Abstract: A method for detecting a network cable connection state is disclosed. The method includes detecting a change of connection state of a connector using a sensor that resides in the connector and generating cable connection state information from the information supplied by the sensor. Cable connection state information is communicated to a connection state monitoring utility for facilitating network fault detection. The cable plug or socket may also contain an embedded processor, memory and unique identification.

Abstract: A device driver (GRAPHICS, NETWORK, H2IO, IO2L, SERIAL) for use in a computer system comprising a processor (P), memory (M) and a device (GRAPHICS, NETWORK, H2IO, IO2L, SERIAL) operatively coupled to the computer system, the device driver being operable to control the device to monitor an operational status of the device, and consequent upon a change in the operational status to generate a fault report data indicating whether the change of status was caused internally within the device or externally by another connected device which caused the change of operational status to occur. The fault reports may also include an indication of the operational status of the device. Furthermore, if the fault report data indicates that the change of status was caused externally, the device driver may generate fault direction information indicative of an apparent direction on a connection between the device and the other device suspected as causing the indicated external fault.

Abstract: Nanofilms useful for filtration are prepared from amphiphilic species and one or more polymeric components. The amphiphilic species or components may be oriented on an interface or surface. A nanofilm may be prepared by coupling one or more of the components. The nanofilm may also be deposited or attached to a substrate.

Abstract: An address translation unit is provided for use in a computer system. The unit contains a set of page table entries for mapping from a virtual address to a packet address. Each page table entry corresponds to one page of virtual memory, and typically includes one or more specifiers. Each specifier relates to a different portion of the page, and maps from that portion of the page to a corresponding range of packet addresses. Accordingly, the unit allows for address translation to be performed with a sub-page granularity.
