Abstract: A trailer includes a trailer frame having a hitch. A stationary support base is joined to the trailer frame. Two supports are slidably guided on the support base toward and away from each other. A wheel assembly is mounted to an end of each of the supports remote from the other support such that a distance between the wheel assemblies varies with movement of the supports on the support base. A locking device selectively locks each support to the support base in a first position where the wheel assemblies are furthest from each other and a second position where the wheel assemblies are closer to each other.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to a modified device configuration for disposing a NFC compatible user card within a NFC field of a user mobile device so as to enable continuous proximity monitoring based on a status of an NFC link established between the card and the mobile device. The modified device configuration may be utilized to implement card tracking functionality by using a mobile application, running on the mobile device, to generate a timestamp upon detection of change in a connectivity status of the NFC link to the card. The timestamp NFC connectivity data may then be paired with mobile device GPS coordinates, concurrently retrieved from one or more mobile GPS-based navigation applications, to facilitate card tracking functionality as well as multi-factor validation for electronic transactions initiated by the NFC compatible card and/or the mobile device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for packaging, transcoding, and fragmenting files (e.g., video content) are described. Video content may be transcoded into fix size, variable duration fragments files that satisfy a target fragment file size. Those fragment files may be received, decoded to recover original frames of the underlying video, and then repackaged as new fragment files that are grouped based on overall file size. As a result, the new fragments may have different playback durations, but their overall file sizes may be the same and/or within a target fragment file size (TFS).

Abstract: Systems and methods are described to determine whether a sample transmitted through a transfer line from a remote sampling system contains a suitable sample to analyze by an analysis system. A system embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a sample receiving line configured to receive a liquid segment a first detector configured to detect the liquid segment at a first location in the sample receiving line; a second detector configured to detect the liquid segment at a second location in the sample receiving line downstream from the first location; and a controller configured to register a continuous liquid segment in the sample receiving line when the first detector and the second detector match detection states prior to the controller registering a change of state of the first detector.

Abstract: A check valve having a through-flow grooved poppet is provided in which the poppet includes a plurality of helically-oriented grooves around the exterior surface of the poppet, as well as a set of poppet apertures. When the check valve is displaced from a closed position, fluid flows from a first port to a second port by passing through both the set of poppet apertures and the plurality of helically-oriented groves positioned on the exterior of the poppet. The poppet thus provides multiple flow paths which improves the performance of the check valve by reducing the pressure drop upon activation.

Abstract: An apparatus (e.g., smart radio) carried by a worker includes a location tracking and/or machine-to-machine communication component. Via these features, a user of the apparatus receives information related to nearby equipment, machinery, structures, or components located throughout a worksite. The apparatus further includes a microphone, enabling the user to dictate tasks, updates, or requests based on this information. The apparatus automatically generates and/or updates data records from these dictations and uses context, including the information received by the user, to improve the data records. For example, semantic gaps or abstractions, such as this machine, in the user's dictations are more specifically defined or identified in a data record based the context, such as the user being located nearby a particular machine that the user is likely referring to when dictating this machine. As such, manual efforts and human errors associated with data record creation can be minimized, in some examples.

Abstract: A method for making crystalline graphite composite includes the following steps: additives are dry blended with a melt-flowable polylignin to form a blend. The blend is heated to create a melted flowable polylignin with the additives dispersed therein. The melted flowable polylignin is then solidified to a grindable form or to a shaped article of polylignin with dispersed additives, after which sufficient heat is provided to thermoset and carbonize the polylignin with dispersed additives. Additional heat is then provided to graphitize the carbonized polylignin and form a crystalline graphite matrix with uniformly dispersed additives.

Abstract: A package assembly includes a circuit substrate, a top-emitting (TE) vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) die having a two-dimensional (2D) matrix addressable emitter array, and a driver integrated circuit (IC) having a flip-chip interconnect configuration. The TE-VCSEL die and the driver IC are coupled together to form a die stack that is mounted to the circuit substrate, with the TE-VCSEL die arranged between the driver IC and the circuit substrate. TE-VCSEL die comprises an optical output arranged at a main surface coupled to the driver IC. The optical output is configured to output light generated by one or more emitters of the emitter array. Thus, the TE-VCSEL die is configured to emit light away from the circuit substrate.

Abstract: A computer vision processor of a camera generates hyperzooms for persons or vehicles from image frames captured by the camera. The hyperzooms include a first hyperzoom associated with the persons or vehicles. The computer vision processor tracks traffic patterns of the persons or vehicles while obviating network usage by the camera by predicting positions of the persons or vehicles using a Kalman Filter from the first hyperzoom. The persons or vehicles are detected in the second hyperzoom. The positions of the persons or vehicles are updated based on detecting the persons or vehicles in the second hyperzoom. The first hyperzoom is removed from the camera. Tracks of the persons or vehicles are generated based on the updated positions. The second hyperzoom is removed from the camera. Track metadata is generated from the tracks for storing in a key-value database located on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of the camera.
