Abstract: A mounting device may include a top plate including a cone-shaped center portion, a flange coupled to the cone-shaped center portion, a number of apertures defined in the flange, and a number of fasteners engaged with the apertures to couple the top plate to a surface of a structure. The flange seals a bottom side of the top plate to the surface of the structure. The flange includes a seal coupled to the bottom of the flange. The cone-shaped center portion has a convex paraboloid shape. The flange includes at least one surface that is parallel to a surface of the structure, and a transition between the cone-shaped center portion and the flange forms an angle. The top plate has a diameter sufficient to displace a load greater than 50 pounds over the surface of the structure.

Abstract: A vehicle detection system warns snowmobilers of other approaching vehicles with potential risk of collision. To better prevent accidents, the system calculates collision risks and warns the rider based on level of risk. When riding in groups, a member can press a stop request button to ask the group to slow down. When a member exits the group, everyone in the group will receive a message, alerts or indication with the update. The vehicle detection system utilizes Bluetooth® low energy (BLE), LoRaWAN® technologies and/or global positioning system technologies and is designed to detect other devices in the region and use acquired information to calculate proximity and risk of collision.

Abstract: Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other computer-implemented methods are used to identify various semantically important chunks in documents, automatically label them with appropriate datatypes and semantic roles, and use this enhanced information to assist authors and to support downstream processes. Chunk locations, datatypes, and semantic roles can often be automatically determined from what is here called “context”, to wit, the combination of their formatting, structure, and content; those of adjacent or nearby content; overall patterns of occurrence in a document, and similarities of all these things across documents (mainly but not exclusively among documents in the same document set).

Abstract: A mobility device configurable in a first walk configuration and a second stair-climb configuration, including a frame with movable front leg portions, a leg-actuation system connected to the front leg portions and a safety-control device mounted to the frame. The safety-control device includes a configuration selector, and a lever connected to the leg-actuation system and configured to actuate the cable actuation system so as to cause the first and second movable leg portions to move from a first position to a second position. The lever remains locked in a first lever position such that the lever cannot be moved unless the configuration selector is in a depressed position, thereby preventing inadvertent movement of the leg portion.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to arranging a pickup between a driverless vehicle and a passenger. For instance, dispatch instructions dispatching the vehicle to a predetermined pickup area in order to pick up the passenger are received by the vehicle which begins maneuvering to the predetermined pickup area. While doing so, the vehicle receives from the passenger's client computing device the device's location. An indication that the passenger is interested in a fly-by pickup is identified. The fly-by pickup allows the passenger to safely enter the vehicle at a location outside of the predetermined pickup area and prior to the one or more processors have maneuvered the vehicle to the predetermined pickup area. The vehicle determines that the fly-by pickup is appropriate based on at least the location of the client computing device and the indication, and based on the determination, maneuvers itself in order to attempt the fly-by pickup.

Abstract: A historical horse racing (HHR) gaming system and method are provided that facilitate gameplay on one or a plurality of gameplay stations connected to a gaming server. The gaming server is configured to identify, upon receiving a gameplay request, a first plurality of events to execute. The gaming server is configured to receive a wager from a player and to compare the wager against a scorecard for the plurality of events, with a payout determined from the correct and incorrect predictions. The first plurality of events is determined in a time-dependent manner so as to approximate the gameplay experience of live and/or in-person gaming experiences.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides human interleukin 4 receptor alpha antibody glucocorticoid receptor agonist conjugates and methods of using the conjugates for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as type 2 inflammatory diseases.

Abstract: A rotor blade for a rotary wing aircraft includes a leading edge and a trailing edge defining a chordwise direction. The leading edge defines a forward end of the rotor blade and the trailing edge defines an aft end of the rotor blade. The rotor blade has a center of gravity and an aerodynamic center along the chordwise direction. The center of gravity is aft of the aerodynamic center.

Abstract: An umbrella connection assembly for securing an umbrella to a vehicle hitch. The assembly includes a first arm coupled to the hitch and an end including opposing tabs, where each tab includes an axle pin aperture and a locking pin aperture. The assembly also includes a second arm having a protrusion at one end that is positioned between the opposing tabs, where the protrusion includes an axle pin aperture and a plurality of locking pin apertures. An axle pin is inserted in the axle pin apertures so that the second arm is rotatable relative to the first arm. A locking pin is inserted in the locking pin apertures so that the second arm is locked to the first arm. A third arm is coupled to an end of the second arm opposite to the protrusion so that the third arm is generally perpendicular to the second arm.

Abstract: An improved gaming system and method enabling the creation and management of multiple concurrent games with limited numbers of players and/or gameplay stations. The gaming system includes at least a gaming server and a plurality of gameplay stations, the gaming server aggregating players and creating games in response to receiving a gameplay request and evaluating whether or not to begin a new game based on conditions of the gaming system, including a maximum number of allowed games, a failure rate of gameplay requests, a usage ratio and a number of gameplay stations currently participating in active games.

Abstract: Computing systems, for example, multi-tenant systems create data centers in a cloud platform using a cloud platform infrastructure language that is cloud platform independent. The system receives a cloud platform independent declarative specification describing a new datacenter to be created or modifications to an existing datacenter deployed on a cloud platform. The system compiles the cloud platform independent declarative specification to generate a metadata representation of the data center. If the datacenter is existing, the system generates a metadata representation representing modifications to the datacenter to obtain a desired datacenter. The system sends the metadata representation and a set of instructions for execution on a target cloud platform. The target cloud platform executes the instructions to configure the data center. The system provides users with access to the computing resources of the data center configured by the target cloud platform.
