Abstract: A micromobility electric vehicle with a controller that operates the vehicle in a walk-assist mode, expanding the population of users that can comfortably use the vehicle. In walk-assist mode, the speed of the vehicle may be limited to a walking speed, regardless of the position of a throttle. In contrast, in a riding mode, the maximum speed may be higher. The walk-assist mode may be entered or exited based on output of one or more sensors, indicating that the user is or is not riding the vehicle or that a user is or is not pushing the vehicle. Such sensors may be positioned in a seat, in a floorboard or on the handlebars of the vehicle. Alternatively or additionally, the sensor may be associated with a control, such as a tab configured to be pressed by a user's thumb when the user is pushing the vehicle.

Abstract: In an embodiment of a core compressor, the core compressor includes a housing and a first pair of rollers and a second pair of rollers, both positioned in the housing. For each of the pair of rollers, an upper roller is positioned in vertical alignment relative to a lower roller. The first pair of the rollers is located proximate to a first end of the core compressor, and the second pair of the rollers is located proximate to a second and opposing end of the core compressor. The upper roller of the first pair of rollers is located a first distance from the lower roller of the first pair of rollers. The upper roller of the second pair of rollers is located a second distance from the lower roller of the second pair of rollers. The first distance is greater than the second distance. Each roller includes at least one row of teeth extending generally perpendicularly away from the surface of the roller.

Abstract: An air sampling device samples air in a controlled environment. The device includes a housing body having a top and a side. An opening is located at the top of the housing body. A retaining assembly retains a sampling device and atrium. The retaining assembly is located at the top of the housing body about the opening. A plenum has a top end and a bottom end, with the top end coupled to the top of the housing body about the opening so that the plenum is in flow communication with the opening. A mass flow meter has an input and an output, with the input coupled to the bottom end of the plenum and in flow communication with the bottom end of the plenum. A blower is located inside the plenum and is configured to draw air past the sampling device, through the opening, through the plenum, and through the mass flow meter. The mass flow meter detects a flow rate of air through the mass flow meter.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing systems that generate reverse video content output streams for reconstruction of sensor devices. A computing platform may receive video content including step completion inputs. Based on the step completion inputs, the computing platform may mark data packets in the video content, and may use the marked data packets to generate video segments. The computing platform may refine the video segments to remove the step completion inputs, and may generate a first reverse video content output stream using the refined video segments. The computing platform may send the first reverse video content output stream to an enhanced reality device for display. The computing platform may determine a maintenance update corresponding to a sensor device shown in the video content, and may send commands directing a maintenance database to update a maintenance log and to cause the sensor device to perform a setting adjustment.

Abstract: The present application is directed to an anti-theft lug nut assembly and/or system for vehicular wheel use. A lug nut assembly of this application may be used in connection with each wheel of a particular vehicle. In another instance, multiple lug nut assemblies may be used in connection with a single wheel of a vehicle. In such instances, the lug nut assemblies may incorporate a common key member or distinct key members for use with each distinct lug members. Common wrenches and sockets are unable to engage and turn the lug member of this application as a result of the outer surface configuration of the lug member.

Abstract: A netting post cap 11 is provided for fitting over the top of a post. Posts are often used for fences to protect animals and agriculture. In certain cases, netting is used for additional protection from animals and agriculture. Wires can be strung between posts on the top of the netting post caps. Netting can be supported over the wires and netting post caps 11. The netting post cap 11 generally has a domed head 12 and a stem 14. The stem 14 may connect the dome 12 with struts 13 for structural support and aid in tying off wire ends. Holes 15 in the dome 12 are used to thread wire through and tie off wire ends. Protrusions 17 rising from the dome 12 secure the netting into position and protect the netting.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing systems using improved model-based techniques for performing virtual device simulation. A computing platform may receive commands directing the launch of a visual model corresponding to a device identifier. The computing platform may send commands directing a database to provide a state machine model corresponding to the visual model. The computing platform may receive the state machine model and subsequently an indication of a virtual interaction with the visual model. Based on the indication, the computing platform may cause a state change of the visual model and may send, to the client device, state change information corresponding to the visual model. The computing platform may receive information verifying simulated operation parameters, and based on the information the computing platform may cause an implementation update to a device, corresponding to the visual model, based on the simulated operation parameters.

Abstract: A system for tracking one or more subjects for collecting airborne contaminants. The system includes one or more subjects configured to collect air contaminants. Each of the one or more subjects includes an identification tag encoded with identification information identifying the each subject. The system further includes an identification reader configured to decode the identification information encoded within the identification tag of a scanned one of the one or more identification tags.

Additional records in the database are created each time the identification tag of one of the one or more subjects is scanned. The one or more subjects are thereby tracked as they collect airborne contaminants and are incubated.

Abstract: A stability control system for a vehicle that has an electric traction motor that provides torque to an axle through a differential. The traction motor responds to an instability event that is sensed by sensors on the vehicle by initially reducing the torque provided to the traction wheels to regain steering control. The traction motor then pulses increased torque in sequence with the application of braking force to provide enhanced direct yaw moment control.
