Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes detection circuitry that detects a parent instruction and a child instruction from a stream of instructions. The parent instruction references a destination register that is referenced as a source register by the child instruction. Adjustment circuitry then adjusts the child instruction to produce an adjusted child instruction whose behaviour is logically equivalent to a behaviour of executing the parent instruction followed by the child instruction.

Abstract: An electric pushback vehicle includes a frame having a forward portion and a rear portion. The vehicle further includes front drive axle and a rear drive axle configured to communicate power to ground engaging members. A traction battery is housed within the electric pushback vehicle and provides electric power to an electric motor to drive an output shaft. A transmission is connected to receive mechanical power from the electric motor through a torque converter.

Abstract: A system for generating mist includes a vehicle with ventilation system, a misting device configured to atomized fluid to generate a variable amount of mist, and a fan configured to move the variable amount of mist through the ventilation system. The system further includes a particle sensor configured to measure particles and a controller in communication with the particle sensor, misting device, and fan, configured to receive a particle concentration from the particle sensor, compare it to a threshold, and control the variable amount of mist and/or the fan to keep the particle concentration greater than the threshold. A method for controlling mist in a vehicle includes pumping fluid to a misting device, generating a mist of fluid, pumping the mist into a vehicle ventilation system, measuring a particle concentration, and manipulating a misting device, pump, and/or fan using a controller to keep the particle concentration above a threshold.

Abstract: A kiosk for vending and reverse-vending of mobile electronic devices. The kiosk includes a case that defines an inner compartment configured to store mobile devices for vending. The case includes a front panel and a user interface is positioned along the front panel. The kiosk includes a vending bay and a storage bay configured to receive user mobile devices. The kiosk includes a diagnostic cable wire harness configured to be accessible at the storage bay. The kiosk includes a computing device having a communication element configured for communication with at least one carrier server for service activation and/or de-activation.

Abstract: A system and methods for incorporating disparate sources of collective feedback in the preparation and execution of an initial interaction between a social robot and a human being is disclosed. These methods include retrieving interaction content, assigning a life cycle to new content, detecting and removing expired life cycle content, modifying interaction scripts to include new interaction content and sending the modified interaction script to at least one social robot, wherein the at least one social robot executes the modified script during the period of time specified by the life cycle associated with the interaction topic to obtain an improved interaction with a human receiving, by the data management system, interaction log data.

Abstract: A wireless communication system includes a transparent lens system coupled to a frame that positions the lens system in front of a user's eye when the frame is mounted on the user's head. A wireless transceiver wirelessly receives display control signals and transfers the display control signals to an LCD system that is embedded within the transparent lens system. The LCD system renders images and transparency in response to the display control signals. In some examples, an optical receiver transfers the optical information signals to the wireless transceiver, and the transceiver wirelessly transfers the optical information signals. In some examples, a wireless communication device wirelessly transfers the display control signals and receives the optical information signals.

Abstract: A telecommunications device capable of performing a plurality of functions in addition to telecommunications functions is disclosed. The telecommunications device comprises a memory, a processor, and instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The instructions are configured such that the device performs a function specified by the instructions to be performed when a pulsed analog electrical signal is received via a contact point on an integrated plug that is inserted into a socket on the device and that has three electrically independent microphone contacts, wherein the signal is generated responsive to an action taken on a hardware component on the device, and wherein the specification of the function to be performed occurs after the manufacturing process for the device is complete.

Abstract: A device and computer-readable media are provided for controlling a mobile device by eye movement. Namely, embodiments of the present invention rely on electrooculographical and blink-sensing techniques to detect eye movement, where the eye movement can indicate that a user wishes to perform an action on a mobile device. The mobile device may be a cell phone, a portable digital assistant, or some other communications device. This invention is primarily directed for use by people who have physical impairments preventing them from operating mobile devices in a traditional way.
