The overlay region is one of the plurality of regions of the background image. The symbology attribute is adjusted based on the region-wise image attribute of the overlay region to generate an adjusted heads up display image. The adjusted heads up display image is displayed on the HUD.

Abstract: A system for vaccinating swine according to one embodiment includes a housing having an open first end and an open opposite second end. The housing has a pair of side walls that are angled and non-parallel to one another such that at the second end only a single piglet can exit at one time. The system also includes a vaccination station for individually vaccinating piglets. The vaccination station is located between the pair of side walls in a region thereof that is sized to only permit one piglet to stand between the side walls. The vaccination station includes at least one sensor that detects the presence of the one piglet within the vaccination station and at least one spray nozzle positioned within the vaccination station such that a vaccine dose discharged therefrom is directed upwardly into facial areas of the piglet effectively.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that configure network devices to dynamically (1) download privilege setting definitions from an authentication server to address a currently connected set of client devices associated with these privilege setting definitions and (2) clear privilege setting definitions that are no longer in use by client devices connected to the network device. In particular, a network device may determine if a privilege setting definition associated with a successfully authenticated client device is locally available on the network device and request the privilege setting definition from the authentication server when not locally available. In some situations, the authentication server may selectively transmit update messages to network devices that may be affected by an update to a privilege setting definition such that the network devices may request this updated privilege setting definition for download.
