Abstract: A vehicle monitors an ongoing enforcement situation using one or more sensors provided to the vehicle and determines, based on the monitoring and sensor data of the one or more sensors, that a foot pursuit has begun. The vehicle receives a location signal from a location-providing device carried by at least one entity involved in the situation and determines a street route for the vehicle that follows movement of the entity by using streets travelable by the vehicle, based on a plurality of locations received from the location-providing device. Also, the vehicle automatically and autonomously controls the vehicle to follow the determined street route.

Abstract: A vehicle lighting assembly is provided herein. The vehicle lighting assembly includes a back panel configured to couple to a vehicle. A plurality of light sources emit a common wavelength of light. A first portion of the plurality of light sources is operably coupled with a luminescent structure. A second portion of light sources emits the common wavelength of light from an overmold material that is disposed outboard of the first and second portions of light sources.

Abstract: A vehicle lighting system is provided herein. A spotlight is coupled to a vehicle and is configured to project light in a target direction. A controller is configured to wirelessly send command signals to the spotlight. A user-input device is in communication with the controller and is provided on a steering wheel of the vehicle. The command signals are based on user-input and control at least one of an aim direction and a light activation of the spotlight.

Abstract: Metallurgical processes and systems for gas atomization of molten slag and/or molten metals from a metallurgical furnace are integrated with off-gas handling processes and equipment, such that the off-gases are fed to the gas atomization plant for atomizing the molten slag and/or molten metal. The use of by-product off-gases for atomizing molten slag and/or molten metals provides a number of benefits, including elimination of off-gas handling and treatment equipment, centralization and upgrading of heat via atomization to improve heat recovery, prevention of oxidation of granular products of atomization, and reduction of CO2 emissions. A process for preparing a granular product comprises: feeding a molten material and a by-product off-gas to a dispersion apparatus; and contacting the gas with the molten material in the dispersion apparatus, whereby the molten material is dispersed and solidified by contact with the gas to form the granular product.

Abstract: A mesh fence including a mesh, and a pole assembly secured to the mesh. The pole assembly includes a receiving member with a channel and a retaining member, at least a portion of the retaining member being dimensioned to be received in the channel of the receiving member together with a segment of the mesh retained in the channel. An anchoring device is also disclosed for securing a fence pole to a surface. Another aspect of the invention is a method for assembling a mesh fence.
