Abstract: A speed control system for an electric drive motor of a self-propelled machine can include a switch assembly, speed lever, potentiometer, actuator lever, cable, and controller. The switch assembly can select a requested maximum speed from a plurality of predetermined maximum travel speeds, and can output a maximum speed signal that is indicative of the requested maximum speed. The speed lever can be movable to any of a plurality of travel speeds, including a zero speed. The potentiometer can be configured to output a requested speed signal that is indicative of the requested travel speed. The controller can be configured to output a motor speed signal to the electric drive motor, the motor speed signal is based on the maximum speed signal and the requested speed signal and causes the electric drive motor to operate at an output speed that corresponds to the motor speed signal.

Abstract: A novel prophylactic therapy for cancer, as well as therapy against DNA damage, inflammation and immunosuppression involves the ?-blocker carvedilol, which is a racemic mixture consisting of two enantiomers, S- and R-carvedilol, in 1:1 ratio. S-carvedilol is a ?-blocker, with a highly potent antagonizing activity against the ?-adrenergic receptors, which is the main mechanism for the drug's pharmacological activity in treatment of high blood pressure and heart failure. Carvedilol—the racemic mixture—prevents ultraviolet radiation induced skin cancer by attenuating DNA damage, reducing inflammation and reversing immunosuppression. The non-?-blocking enantiomer R-carvedilol exhibits the same cancer preventive efficacy as the racemic carvedilol, without disturbing the cardiovascular system. Both carvedilol and R-carvedilol prevent chemical carcinogen-induced lung cancer development and lung inflammation.

Abstract: In some implementations, a first user equipment (UE) may send a first message comprising a quality of service (QoS) profile to a second UE. The QoS profile may include a response time requirement for providing positioning information within the positioning session. The first UE may receive a second message from the second UE, the second message comprising an indication of whether the second UE can meet the response time requirement. The first UE may determine resource pool parameters for the positioning session. The resource pool parameters may be based at least in part on the indication of whether the second UE can meet the response time requirement. The first UE may send a third message comprising the resource pool parameters to the second UE.

Abstract: A time-division multiplexed projection display is pixel shifted to produce an increased perceived display resolution. A polarizing beam splitter (PBS) divides input unpolarized display light into two orthogonal linear polarizations and directs them to two PBS arms. The PBS arms act to shift the light in synchronization with the time-multiplexed display such that a single pixel of the light engine providing the display light is converted into two or four virtual pixels, effectively increasing the perceived display resolution relative to the native resolution of the light engine. The PBS combines the light from both PBS arms into a single, unpolarized output that may then be projected into a lens or a waveguide incoupler to enable the light to propagate through a waveguide for display at a user's eye.

Abstract: In a cloud computing environment, a cross-tenant access security measure monitors conditional access policies for changes or additions that hamper or threaten an authorized access from an assistant tenant user to a focus tenant. Some cross-tenant access security tracks role assignments to detect rogue roles, or detect hampering role changes. In some cases, focus tenant events and assistant tenant events are correlated in an audit. In some cases, the authorized access is a zero standing time bound access. In some cases, the authorized access is constrained to an IP address range, or constrained to login from a managed device, or both. In some cases, assets are excluded from managed response remediation actions. In some, managed response is modulated by product-specific Role Based Access Control. In some, repeated logins are avoided, to permit faster managed responses.
