Abstract: A vehicle body for a multi-platform, reconfigurable electric truck includes a front trunk, an extendable bed and barn door tailgates, a sidewall table, and a side step and drawer. The front trunk includes a cover movable between a closed and open positions, and includes panels selectively movable between a retracted and extended positions to form a work surface. A bed extender slides between a retracted and extended positions. Barn door tailgates each move between closed, partially open, and fully open positions and include inner tailgates movable between stowed and deployed positions. The barn door tailgates and the inner tailgates enclose an extended region of a bed when the bed extender is extended position, the barn door tailgates are each partially open, and the inner tailgates are each deployed. The sidewall table folds down from a sidewall, and the drawer pulls out from a sidewall.

Abstract: A reverse horse cart having a treadmill allowing an animal to walk thereon to generate power to run a vehicle. A horse is used as a source of power for a vehicle wherein the horse (or other animal) also rides on the vehicle. To collect energy from the horse in an efficient and ethical matter, the horse will walk on a treadmill causing the belt to rotate a shaft that connects to a flywheel which is communication with a generator. The generator then connects to a tray of capacitors to store the energy. After the energy is stored, the capacitors send the energy to electrical regulators, which pass the electricity to four motors that control each wheel. The motion of the wheels is controlled by a motion logic controller.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for enhancing a hearing prosthesis recipient's perception of multiple frequencies present in received sound signals. The hearing prosthesis is configured to extract a plurality of frequencies from the received sound signals and to use the plurality of frequencies to modulate the amplitudes of different stimulation pulse sequences that are to be delivered to the recipient via different stimulation channels. The hearing prosthesis may also adapt a stimulation resolution of the stimulation pulse sequences when delivering the modulated stimulation pulses sequences to the recipient.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising preparations of uncultured fecal bacteria, methods of manufacturing the compositions, and methods of using the compositions to treat a disorder related to a gut dysbiosis.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a target to rotate about an axis; an excitation coil to carry an excitation signal; and a first sense coil to carry a sense signal induced by the excitation signal. The first sense coil comprises two or more lobes in one or more planes that are perpendicular to the axis. The two or more lobes comprise a first lobe at a first position relative to the axis and a second lobe at a second position relative to the axis. The second position is substantially the same radial distance from the axis as the first position is from the axis. The second position is at an angular distance of ? from the first position, where ?=180°±?/2, and ? is a measurement range for angular-position sensing (e.g., ?=60°) within a range of 50% to 150% of ?.

The CPU includes a substrate and is affixed and electrically coupled to the first surface of the PCB by a first surface of the substrate. A second surface of the substrate includes a second power contact and a second ground contact. The power distribution hat couples the first power contact with the second power contact. The heat sink couples the first ground contact with the second ground contact.

Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) includes an array of signal pads on a first surface of the PCB, a power contact pad on the first surface, and a ground contact pad on a second surface of the PCB. Each signal pad of the array of signal pads is associated with a signal contact of a central processing unit (CPU). The power contact pad provides power for the CPU apart from the array of signal pads. The ground contact pad provides a ground for the CPU apart from the array of signal pads.

The lock is overlapped by at least a portion of the barrier (2) both when the barrier (2) is in the closed position and when the barrier (2) is in an open position.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for adapting/transitioning operation of a medical prosthesis, such as an auditory prosthesis, from a first or initial group of settings to a second or target group of settings. The adaptation in the operation of the medical prosthesis from the first group of settings to the second group of settings occurs over a period of time and in a series of individualized (recipient-specific) incremental steps. That is, the adaptation process occurs in incremental steps that are set based on attributes/characteristics of the recipient of the specific medical prosthesis so that the adaptation is made as unobtrusive to the recipient as possible.
