Abstract: Delivery systems and methods for forming and delivering biomaterials from two components are described herein. In particular, apparatus and methods for performing controlled delivery of multicomponent delivery of biomaterials into or onto a body part, such as a body lumen are described. More specifically, in some embodiments, the apparatus and methods are directed towards controlled delivery of micro-volumes of biomaterials into or onto a target location, the micro-volumes being defined as 0.001 mL-1 mL (or 1 ?L-1,000 ?L) of volume.

Abstract: A data source is monitored. During the monitoring, an arrival at the data source of each of one or more sets of one or more features is detected. In response to detecting the arrival at the data source of at least a first set of one or more features of the one or more sets of one or more features, data is extracted from the first set of one or more features, data for at least a second set of one or more features of the one or more sets of one or more features is estimated, wherein the second set of one or more features has not yet arrived at the data source, and, based on the extracted data and the estimated data, a data quality metric is predicted.

Abstract: Disclosed is a connector for hingedly mounting a buttstock to a receiver of a rifle having a fixed hinge portion having a receiver side and an interface side, a threaded protrusion integrally formed with the fixed hinge portion and extending from the receiver side of the fixed hinge portion, a threaded ring sized in relative proportions to threadably interface with the threaded protrusion, and a buffer hole extending from the interface side, through the fixed hinge portion, and through the threaded protrusion. The threaded protrusion can be threadably received in the receiver of the rifle and the threaded ring can be configured to be threadably tightened about the threaded protrusion and against the receiver. The threaded ring can have a threaded inner surface, an outer surface, and a first and second sides. The outer surface can have a first and second raised portions separated by a notch.

Abstract: A magnetic traction assembly is disclosed for a railcar mover that provides additional downforce to improve traction for a railcar mover when required. The magnetic traction assembly may comprise a frame, an actuator, and a magnetic element positioned underneath a railcar mover. The magnetic element may be lowered to a deployed position, where the magnetic element is positioned near the railroad rails such that the magnetic field from the magnetic element interacts with the railroad rail creating an attraction force that provides additional downforce to the railcar mover.

Abstract: A control system for a machine having a transmission system is provided. The control system includes a wheel speed sensor and a controller. The wheel speed sensor is configured to generate a signal indicative of a wheel speed. The controller is in communication with the wheel speed sensor. The controller is configured to modulate a parameter of a power source based, at least in part, on a comparison of the wheel speed and a localized speed of the machine near the wheel.

Abstract: A drag reducing device utilizing sealed aft cavities designed to limit interference with existing truck and trailer designs is described. The invention comprises one or more sealed aft cavities affixed to the rear of a traditional commercial straight truck or trailer, or any other blunt (or mostly blunt) aft faced vehicle. A means is provided by which the device is stowed to allow normal operation of the straight truck, trailer or vehicle. Drag is reduced by the streamlining of the rear of the vehicle, postponing and narrowing the flow separation downstream of the trailing edge as well as increasing the pressure on the back of the vehicle with the open to the rear, sealed aft cavity. The concept described focuses on the utilization of (a) sealed aft cavity(ies) to limit the effects of blunt body drag and the means for attachment and stowage for loading and unloading cargo.
