Abstract: A distal aortic stent graft assembly including a main body having a proximal end and a distal end. The main body defines a peripheral opening. The proximal end defines a proximal opening. The distal end defines a distal opening. The proximal opening and the distal opening are configured to perfuse blood through the main body when the main body is in a deployed state. The distal aortic stent graft assembly further includes a coupling extending radially from the main body and corresponding to the opening in the main body. The coupling is configured to align with a blood vessel and perfuse blood through the coupling when the coupling is in the deployed state.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a power unit, wherein the power unit includes an internal combustion engine and/or a power battery. The vehicle is provided with a living room mode, which can be activated in a parking state of the vehicle. When the living room mode is activated, the power unit of the vehicle can provide the vehicle with functions related to leisure, entertainment and/or office, but does not provide functions related to drive readiness.

Abstract: A ranging system and method to determine a relative distance and direction of a target borehole relative to a second borehole using a ranging tool that can make ranging measurements while the ranging tool is not rotating. An array of button electrodes included in the ranging tool can be fired in a sequential fashion so as to simulate rotation of one or more button electrodes, without the ranging tool rotating. The array of button electrodes can also be fired in a sequential fashion so as to simulate rotational and/or longitudinal movement of the ranging tool.

The method (200) applied in an autonomous vehicle comprises: receiving data from a plurality of environment perception sensors on the vehicle and data from a plurality of vehicle motion sensors on the vehicle; generating control parameters for control devices including an acceleration device, a braking device, and a steering device, based on at least the received data; and outputting the received data and the generated control parameters to the driver.

Abstract: Objects detected in data may be filtered from an object recognition index. Data for object detection may be received. An object detection technique may be applied to the data to detect an object. If the object does not satisfy indexing criteria for the object recognition index, then the detected object may be excluded from the object recognition index.

Abstract: In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, a system and method for determining a measurement for a pseudo receiver antenna with a different lateral position and a different azimuthal direction than at least two receiver antennas disposed on one or more wellbore tools is provided. The method involves transmitting an electromagnetic signal into a subterranean formation surrounding a borehole, and measuring one or more responses of the subterranean formation to the electromagnetic signal using at least two receiver antennas. The two receiver antennas are oriented in differing azimuthal directions relative to one or more tools to which the receiver are coupled, and arranged in a non-parallel angular orientation with respect to each other. The method then includes determining a response measured by a pseudo receiver antenna with a desired angular orientation and a desired azimuthal direction with respect to the one or more tools.
