Abstract: A system and to a method executed in a vehicle control unit for controlling wheel slip of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises at least two wheels driven by at least primary actuator via an open differential. The primary actuator is controlled to rotate at a speed resulting in a slip ?em of the primary actuator. A signed wheel slip limit ?lim is determined by adding a configurable value to the slip ?em of the primary actuator, such that ?lim>?em. The at least two wheels are controlled to rotate at wheel speeds resulting in respective wheel slips ?l, ?r below the signed wheel slip limit ?lim, wherein each one of ?l, ?r and ?em are signed numerical values.

Abstract: A top-entry trunnion ball valve comprising: a housing formed having first and second fluid flow ports, a cavity through which fluid flows when the valve is open and a top opening through which the cavity is accessible; a ball housed in the cavity formed having a through hole for passage of fluid and rotatable between open and closed positions; a cartridge in the cavity sealed to the housing and comprising a seat sealed to the ball; wherein the cartridge and top opening are sized to enable the cartridge to be inserted into and sealed to the housing and removed from the cavity via the top opening.

Abstract: An intermediate server (104) is operable in a distributed key management system (300). The intermediate server comprises one or more processors (205) and an intermediate key material repository (302) to store digital rights management key material. The intermediate server can be operable in the system between a master server (101) and a local server (106), with the local server to deliver content (108) to one or more subscriber devices (109,110). The intermediate server, or optionally a management system (117) can pre-populate the intermediate key material repository with one or key material (1005) corresponding to fragments (1001) of the content prior to the fragments of content being requested by the one or more subscriber devices.

Abstract: A plurality of framework supporting decorative panels. The framework is interconnected collectively so as to form a modular, ornamental, closed plane structure.

Abstract: A dominos-style mathematical operation game is provided with a plurality of dominos style type game pieces. Each game piece is defined by a polyhedron with a top and bottom face. Each face is divided into a left and right section with a mathematical operation therebetween.

Abstract: According to the preferred embodiment, a defect monitor is provided that facilitates the location and characterization of defects in a semiconductor device. The defect monitors are designed to facilitate automated scanning electron microscope in voltage contrast mode (SEM-VC) inspection. The defect monitors include a plurality of flags used to quickly locate defects. The SEM-VC magnification can then be increased to further isolate and characterize the defects as necessary. Thus, the preferred embodiment facilitates the use of SEM-VC scanning procedures to automatically detect and locate faults at low magnification, and then characterize the faults a higher magnification, resulting in a much higher throughput.
