Abstract: A method including generating, by a navigation service, a route for navigating from a route origin to a route destination using a private roads repository. The method includes identifying a ghost origin and a ghost destination of a ghost road along the route. The method includes sending, using an application programming interface of a base roads engine, a first request for a route from the ghost origin to the ghost destination. The method includes receiving, from the base roads engine in response to the first request, a replacement section from the ghost origin to the ghost destination. The method includes replacing, in the route, the ghost road with the replacement section to create an updated route including segments. The method includes generating an estimated travel time from the route origin to the route destination over the segments of the updated route. The method includes presenting the estimated travel time.

Abstract: A hybrid apparatus for charging electric vehicles and mining cryptocurrency is provided. The apparatus may comprise an electric power input associated with a rated maximum power capacity, an electric vehicle charger, a cryptocurrency miner and a power coordinator. The electric vehicle charger may have at least one vehicle power outlet and a maximum charger power draw from the electric power input. The cryptocurrency miner may have multiple cryptocurrency mining computers and a maximum miner power draw from the electric power input. Each mining computer may have an adjustable intensity level. The power coordinator may be configured to determine mining power availability within the rated maximum power capacity after prioritizing power demand by the electric vehicle charger, and to direct the cryptocurrency miner to continue mining cryptocurrency by adjusting the intensity levels of the mining computers such that the cryptocurrency miner consumes not more than the mining power availability.

Abstract: A graphical, hierarchical document stream browser and environment for semantic (e.g. framing) and performance data analysis and interactive visualization integrates three scales: entities (competitive), entity (diachronic), and document (linguistic). The document level includes annotation and computational linguistics facilities; the entity level has calendrical and time-series focus. All levels emphasize deep linkage and network (i.e. connective/relational space) view of objects, with user-configurable connectivity. Large language model (LLM) integrations provide synthetic advisories, public opinions, reports, plot insights, comparisons; traditional natural language processing techniques and neural models are also employed. A smart plot system includes a “plot cart” and interpreter with an analysis snippet library.

Ingredients used to deliver key components include calcium lactate, dextrose, a branched-chain amino acid, a citric acid, a citrate, stevia, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and water. The synergistic action of the disclosed formulation allows for rapid hydration or rehydration of the human body especially after physical activity and exercise, and in particular after high intensity exercise or activity.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a formulation for alleviating veisalgia symptoms. The formulation can comprise anhydrous caffeine, salicin, and valerian. The components can be delivered within a liquid medium and act synergistically to more effectively relieve veisalgia symptoms than when taken individually.

Abstract: One or more synergistic nutraceutical chewable formulations providing enhanced thermogenesis leading to enhanced/improved mental concentration and stamina while minimizing adrenaline and dopamine withdrawal. The primary ingredients comprising caffeine, hordenine, and ?-phenylethylamine, which are delivered in a chewable form, such as chewing gum, for release and consumption.

Abstract: The invention describes one or more compositions for causing an increase in thermogenesis in mammals, comprising at least caffeine, hordenine and ?-phenylethylamine and optionally the addition of B vitamins. The caffeine is often provided from green coffee bean extracts and normally comprises from 0.0001 g to 0.30 g of caffeine from 0.00001 g to 0.1 g of hordenine from barley and from 0.00001 g to 1.0 g ?-phenylethylamine from cocoa beans. The present invention finally provides a method that may cause a simultaneous and synergistic increase in central nervous system activity assisted by the addition of vitamin B as well as thermogenesis in mammals prior to physical exercise, the method comprising providing a composition comprising a source of caffeine, hordenine and ?-phenylethylamine.

Abstract: A modification to a trigger assembly for an AK style firearm having a trigger with sear and a disconnector pivotally coupled to the trigger, includes a secondary disconnector pivotally coupled to the trigger rearward of the disconnector and movable between a limiting position toward the disconnector and a non-limiting position away from the disconnector. A selector bar is movable between a front position, engaging the trigger to prevent rotation thereof, a middle position allowing the secondary disconnector to be biased into the limiting position engaging the disconnector, and a back position engaging the secondary disconnector and retaining the secondary disconnector in the non-limiting position against the bias and spaced from the disconnector.

Abstract: A fastener for use in connection with a tubular boss has a shaft with at least one rib along the length thereof and at least one thread segment extending at least partially around the shaft. The shaft is inserted into the boss in first position, and rotated to a second position wherein the at least one thread segment engages at least one column formed in the tubular boss. The shaft can be integrally formed with a first molded part to be fastened to a second molded part with an integrally formed tubular boss. Various locking features for locking the shaft in the boss are also disclosed.

Abstract: A fastener for a vehicle lamp assembly has an adjustable stud and grommet. Positioning grooves on the stud interact with positioning fingers on the grommet in a ratcheting fashion to allow more accurate alignment of the lamp assembly prior to securing the lamp assembly to a vehicle.

Abstract: A wing skin, which was secured to a wing structure by a plurality of fasteners extending through the wing skin, is removed from the wing and aligned with a template. Template holes are drilled through the template corresponding to each of the fastener holes of the wing skin. The template is then aligned with a new wing skin, and pilot holes are drilled through the new wing skin corresponding to each of the template holes. The new wing skin is then aligned with the wing structure such that the pilot holes permit access to corresponding fastener holes of the wing structure. A mill bit is then positioned through each pilot hole and aligned with the center of the corresponding consumable bushing in the fastener hole of the wing sub-structure, and the skin pilot holes are milled to form fastener holes in the new wing skin aligned with existing sub-structure.
