Abstract: A vehicle includes a powered door having an actuator to move the door between open and closed positions, a transceiver configured to communicate with one or more mobile devices, and an imaging device oriented to capture images in a region proximate to the powered door. A controller processes the captured images and controls the actuator to move the door to the open position when a mobile device is detected proximate the vehicle and a user is detected in the captured images located in a door detection zone. The controller moves the door to the open position when a face of a user is recognized as an authorized user located in the door detection zone. The controller moves the door to the open position when a gait of the user is detected and identifies the gait are indicative of an authorized user located in the door detection zone.

Abstract: A cable distribution system that includes a head end connected to a plurality of customer devices through a transmission network that includes a remote fiber node that converts digital data to analog data suitable for the plurality of customer devices, where the head end includes a processor. A packetized elementary stream of a video is provided from the head end to customer devices through the transmission network, wherein the packetized elementary stream includes a plurality of groups comprising pairs of packetized elementary stream headers and packetized elementary stream payloads. A first one of the plurality of groups corresponding to a non-predicted coded picture of the video of the packetized elementary stream is determined. The first one of the plurality of groups is encrypted while not encrypting all of the plurality of groups of the video.

Abstract: An Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) rating is provided for an entity with multiple assets. A plurality of metrics are defined. A value for each metric for each asset is obtained if available, or is set to 0. Similarly, a value for each metric for a benchmark is obtained if available, or is set to 0. For each metric and for each asset, a weight is calculated as a difference between the corresponding value of such metric for the asset and the corresponding value of such metric for the benchmark. For each metric, the weights thereof are combined to produce a composite weight across all assets. For each composite weight, a point value is assigned thereto based on a corresponding risk model. The point values are aggregated, and the aggregate is adjusted based on a perceived risk for the entity to produce the ESG rating.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for creating custom system generated hyperlinks for predefined search queries at an external website. The system stores, in a data storage device, a set of custom URL templates, the custom URL templates defining required data fields to concatenate as parameters for a website link. The system obtains user information about a user where the information includes at least a first name and last name of the user. The system retrieves from the data storage device the set of custom URL templates. The system generates multiple website links based on the retrieved custom URL templates, where the generated website link includes a domain name of a website, and concatenated fields that are parameter specific to the website. The system then displays, via a user interface, a representation of the generated website links for selection by a user.

Abstract: This disclosure concerns the discovery of the use of fenoterol and (R,R)- and (R,S)-fenoterol analogues for the treatment of a tumor expressing a ?2-adrenergic receptor, such as a primary brain tumor, including a glioblastoma or astrocytoma expressing a ?2-adrenergic receptor. In one example, the method includes administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of fenoterol, a specific fenoterol analogue or a combination thereof to reduce one or more symptoms associated with the tumor, thereby treating the tumor in the subject.

Abstract: A horizontal grinding machine includes a frame, a feed hopper that receives material to be processed, and a feed conveyor that moves material to be processed in a processing direction. A grinding cylinder rotates about a generally horizontal grinding axis. A feed roller assembly is mounted on the frame at the rear end of the feed hopper and in front of the grinding cylinder. The feed roller assembly includes a feed roller that rotates about a generally horizontal axis in a first direction that urges the material towards the grinding cylinder and a second direction that urges the material away from the grinding cylinder. A controller is operatively connected to the feed roller and to the feed conveyor and controls the rotational speed of the feed roller and the speed of the feed conveyor to obtain a predetermined ratio of feed roller rotational speed to feed conveyor speed.
