Abstract: A vehicle seating system includes a seatback pivotally coupled to a seat base. The seatback is operable between an upright position and a reclined position. A lift assembly is operably coupled to the seat base. The lift assembly is operable between a disengaged position and an engaged position. A position sensor is coupled to the lift assembly via a ball joint, wherein the ball joint and the position sensor adjust with movement of the lift assembly. A seat controller communicatively is coupled to the position sensor, wherein the seat controller determines if the lift assembly is in the disengaged position or has moved to the engaged position based on position data received from the position sensor.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a network API service makes multiple APIs available for guidance and control. The network API service may collect low-level network data related to network elements in access networks and core networks and analyze the low-level network data to create application-level metrics in response to API requests. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A vehicle seating assembly includes a seat base that has a first heating element. A seat back has a second heating element. A sensor is coupled to the seat base and is configured to obtain a weight data. A user-interface assembly is operably coupled to the first and second heating elements. A controller is in communication with the sensor to receive the weight data. The controller is configured to control the first and second heating elements in response to the weight data.

Abstract: A method of raising exhaust gas temperatures of a two-cycle uniflow scavenged engine at lower loads. At lower loads, the exhaust valves are activated with a frequency that is less frequent than every engine cycle. This exhaust valve deactivation may be combined with additional engine operating strategies, such as by using fewer than all cylinders as combusting cylinders, adjusting fueling to combusting cylinders, and reducing compressor output.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for purifying air for breathing. The apparatus includes an armrest having a receiver and an air purification module releasably received in the receiver. The air purification module is portable and displaceable between a first operating position held in the receiver and a second operating position remote from the armrest and the vehicle.

Abstract: A system, comprising a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to determine, from an image including a portion of a surface of a human body, a reflected light intensity from the body surface portion, determine, a skin reflectance of the body surface portion based on a location of the body surface, a light source, and an image sensor location, and to determine, for the body surface portion, an incoming radiance, based on the skin reflectance and the reflected light intensity.

Abstract: Methods and systems to provide breathing air to underwater divers in response to the divers' respiration at pressures less than 25 psi above atmospheric pressure during inspiration while delivering no or minimal air during exhalation, by controlling the actions of a pump during the time course of breathing. Methods and systems that sense a diver's need for breathing air, determine inhalation demand or exhalation state, and control the operation of a pump which delivers breathing gas to the diver via a tube. An integrated system for the same which incorporates at least an energy source (26), pump (28), air tube (30), breathing aperture (10), sensor (20), and logic processor (24) is disclosed.

Abstract: A fuel metering system for an internal combustion engine having a fuel injection timing unit to indicate a timepoint during one or more engine strokes, a fuel metering element have a predetermined full stroke volume for metering fuel into an air-fuel mixing location during one or more of the engine strokes, and a fuel metering element controller to control the delivery of fuel by causing the fuel metering element to deliver one of a full stroke volume and a fraction of a full stroke volume to achieve a desired AFR. In some embodiments, power generator circuitry is provided to harvest power from the ICE to power at least one of the fuel injection timing unit, the fuel metering element, and the fuel metering controller.

Abstract: Methods for controlling an air-to-fuel (AFR) ratio in the metering of fuel to an operating internal combustion engine (ICE) are provided using software-implemented logic controls to enable the determination of one or more of a maximum-power AFR fiducial and a maximum-efficiency AFR fiducial. Control of the fuel delivered to achieve any desired AFT using the fiducial values and/or a known or derived power-AFR curve for the ICE, and pressures of 5 psi or less, without chemical or temperature sensing of the exhaust gas of the ICE.

Abstract: A method of allocating a psychographic profile to a vocational group, including the steps of: defining at least two psychographic profiles, each defined by a ranked score of at least two cognitive or personality traits; collecting data related to the at least two cognitive or personality traits for the vocational group; and analysing the data to determine which of the psychographic profiles best matches that vocational group. In another aspect, a method to compile a set of material elements for use in sales, advertising, or marketing applicable to a target group, including identifying a vocational group of each member of the target group; and allocating a psychographic profile to the vocational group.
