Abstract: A control system (300) for controlling an active suspension system (104) of a vehicle (100), the control system comprising one or more controller (301), wherein the control system is configured to: obtain (908) information indicative of relative traction levels between different wheels (FL, FR, RL, RR) of the vehicle; and in dependence on the information, control (912) the active suspension system to increase normal force through a wheel (FR) of the vehicle having relatively high traction compared to one or more other wheels (FL, RL, RR) of the vehicle, and decrease normal force through a wheel (FL) of the vehicle having relatively low traction compared to one or more other wheels (FR, RL, RR) of the vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments, for a fast boot system. An example embodiment operates by determining that one or more programs have been loaded into memory on a boot-up of a device. A snapshot of the memory including the loaded one or more programs is captured. Operations of the device are monitored after the snapshot has been captured. It is determined that a first program of the one or more programs was updated during the monitoring. A restart of the device is detected, wherein the snapshot is loaded into the memory in lieu of loading the one or more programs, and wherein the first program is updated during the restart of the device.

Abstract: A press connection system comprises a press tool (50, 60), a fitting (1) and at least a first tube (2) of a first tube diameter (R13), the press tool (50) to act with force on a deformation zone (3) of the fitting (1). The deformation zone (3) is pressed either on first tube (2) of a first tube diameter (R13) or to a second tube (2) of a second tube diameter (R23), the second tube diameter (R23) being smaller than the first tube diameter (R13). Further, a press tool, inserts therefore and a tubing system and the use of these enable to connect tubes of more than one diameter to the fitting.

Abstract: A secure teleconference with a patient treatment room may be initiated by receiving, at a central facility, a request for a conference from a clinician application, and then identifying a virtual meeting room and sending an identifier for a conference to the treatment room. The conference is then be established by receiving a call at the central facility from the treatment room, where the call identifies the conference. The central facility then joins the treatment room and the clinician application to the virtual meeting room. Teleconferences may thus be established without reference to sensitive patient information. For security, no incoming conferencing calls may be made to the treatment room directly, and virtual meeting rooms may be eliminated after single use. A call may further be initiated by receiving a request from the treatment room, e.g., which is processed by the central facility to alert one or more clinicians.

Abstract: A peer-to-peer media sharing network is facilitated by a central controller which maintains a map of media stream devices acting as sources, destinations, and relays for media streams. The controller maintains a remote connection with each media stream device, monitoring operational status and modifying the map as required in response to conditions. Each media stream device manages its own remote peer connections with other media stream devices by, e.g., initiating a peer connection once both the destination node and the desired stream are available. For simplicity and rapid response to changing status conditions, the map may include node groups comprising various types of nodes, such as aggregation groups, distribution groups, and link groups. Media stream devices may autonomously alter connections within groups as necessary to maintain connections.
