Abstract: An electrical connector with a housing having a mounting opening with a mounting projection. An outwardly facing wall of the mounting projection has at least one detent. A fixed member has a fixed member opening. The fixed member opening has an inner surface with at least one deflectable member which extends from the inner surface into the fixed member opening. A gap is provided between the inner surface of the fixed member opening and the outwardly facing wall of the mounting projection. The mounting projections are able to float radially with the gap.

The first test plan comprises: a time series of vehicle trajectory data for the first swarming vehicle, and position data for the first swarming vehicle relative to a test vehicle. The first test plan is sent from the VAP to the first swarming vehicle. In some embodiments, a second test plan is created by the VAP for a second swarming vehicle. The second test plan comprises: a time series of vehicle trajectory data for the second swarming vehicle, and position data for the second swarming vehicle relative to the test vehicle. The second test plan is sent from the VAP to the second swarming vehicle.

Abstract: A biological reactor system treats concentrated contaminated water with a combination of upflow and downflow bioreactors that are downstream from a reverse osmosis or other concentrator. The system may have a fail safe configuration where flush water may be introduced to the reactors in the event of a power failure or when taking the reactors offline. Many reverse osmosis systems introduce antiscalant treatments upstream so that the reverse osmosis filters do not scale. However, such treatments result in superconcentrated conditions of the antiscalants in the contaminated water processed by the bioreactors. A flushing system may deconcentrate the bioreactors to prevent the antiscalants from precipitating and fouling the bioreactors.

Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for generating a vector drawing from a raster image. For example, an edge map for a raster image can be obtained, and a point of the edge map can be determined that corresponds to an input position associated with user interaction with a graphical user interface. A search process can be performed to determine an edge point of the edge map corresponding to the input position. Using the search process, the edge point is determined from a neighborhood of points associated with the point of the edge map. Using a plurality of edge points of the edge map (including the determined edge point), a vector drawing segment for a vector drawing representing the raster image can be generated.

Abstract: Computerized methods and systems receive, from a web client of a client device, a request, addressed to a web server, to retrieve a requested web resource hosted by the web server. An initial reputation associated with the requested web resource is determined. A user of the client device is prompted to respond to at least one generated query corresponding to the requested web resource, in response to the determined initial reputation. At least one response to the at least one generated query is received from the user. The initial reputation associated with the requested web resource is updated, based in part on the at least one response to the at least one generated query received from the user.

Abstract: A cooling system for a power connector of a charging inlet assembly includes a cooling adapter coupled to a housing of the charging inlet assembly including an adapter body forming a cavity. The cooling adapter includes supply and return ports adjacent a cable exit. The cooling system includes a heat exchanger positioned in the cavity of the cooling adapter including a heat exchanger body configured to receive the power cable and/or the terminal. The heat exchanger body is thermally coupled to the power cable or the terminal to dissipate heat therefrom.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for applying piecewise deformations to digital content using a plurality of parametric patches. For example, the disclosed system generates a plurality of parametric patches (e.g., Bezier patches) within a parametric quilt for digital content (e.g., a digital image or digital text). The disclosed system also provides interface controls for user-defined split/patch locations for the parametric quilt. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed system divides digital content into a plurality of portions. The disclosed system modifies one or more parametric patches and deforms a corresponding portion(s) of the digital content based on the modified parametric patch(es). The disclosed system then recombines the portions of the digital content to generate modified digital content that includes any deformations based on the modified parametric patch(es).

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing having a mating end and a wire end with a base and terminal channels extending through the base into the mating end. The terminal channels receive terminals mated with a mating electrical connector. The base has a wire support supporting wires extending from the terminals. The wire support includes support walls forming wire channels. A wire dress cover is coupled to the wire support and includes an end wall and wire pushers extending from the end wall. The wire pushers load the wires into the wire channels. The wire pushers are received in the wire channels to hold the wires in the wire channels. The wires are supported at the rear by the wire pushers and at both sides by the support walls to provide strain relief for the wires in the wire support.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes one or more embodiments of a selective raster image transformation system that quickly and efficiently generates enhanced digital images by selectively transforming edges in raster images to vector drawing segments. In particular, the selective raster image transformation system efficiently utilizes a content-aware, selective approach to identify, display, and transform selected edges of a raster image to a vector drawing segment based on sparse user interactions. In addition, the selective raster image transformation system employs a prioritized pixel line stepping algorithm to generate and provide pixel lines for selective edges of a raster image in real time, even on portable client devices.
