Abstract: A vehicle may operate in a first mode in which rear traction members of the vehicle are driven forwardly by an electric motor and a hydraulic pump is powered and may alternatively operate in a second mode in which the rear traction members are driven forwardly by the electric motor while the electric motor is operably decoupled from the hydraulic pump. A controller determines a state of an implement attached to the vehicle, a present or forthcoming turning state of the vehicle, a geo-referenced location of the vehicle, a slip of the vehicle, and/or a camera captured image of terrain. The controller outputs a recommendation for either the first mode or the second mode based upon the determination or automatically switches between the first mode and the second mode based on the determination.

Abstract: A computer system animates data visualizations. The system displays a graphical user interface, including a schema region with data field icons representing data fields from a data source and a canvas region displaying a data visualization having visual marks representing data according to visual properties. A user associates a data field icon, representing a data field, with a visual property of the visual marks. In response, the system modifies the data visualization so that the visual property of each visual mark is displayed according to data values of the data field. A user associates a second data field icon, representing a second data field, with a second visual property of the visual marks. The second visual property specifies a nonstop animation format. In response, the system modifies the data visualization to animate the visual marks according to the second visual property and data values for the second data field.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of methods of using stabilizers for use in delivering a replacement heart valve. The stabilizers can receive a portion of a delivery system, such as a handle, to prevent unwanted motion of the delivery system. The stabilizer can include a linear actuator for adjusting a position of the delivery system once held within the stabilizer.

Abstract: A multi-functional lead anti-dissolution composition based on 100 parts by weight consisting of: a succinic acid in an amount of from 30 to 70 percent by weight; and a tartaric acid in an amount of from 70 to 30 percent by weight. The composition does not include any phosphates, thereby not contributing to the phosphate footprint in the water supply. The composition includes organic acids that have anti-inflammatory properties in addition to reducing lead dissolution in drinking water.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that implement a cross-platform flexible data model for dynamic storage, management, and retrieval of high-volume object data, including multi-modal machine learning datasets. Indeed, in one or more implementations, the disclosed systems operate across a variety of different non-tabular media and multiple different digital repository platforms, to efficiently and flexibly store, manage, and retrieve machine learning datasets by utilizing a dynamic cross-platform metadata database and cross-platform file location database. In particular, the disclosed systems can dynamically evolve metadata for data files of various machine learning datasets and independently manage storage locations across digital repository platforms by maintaining and utilizing a centralized cross-platform metadata database and corresponding cross-platform file location database.

Abstract: A control system is provided for inventory management facility with a plurality of containers. The control system includes a server, and a container handler operable within the inventory management facility. The container handler tractor comprises onboard sensors configured to generate sensor data of at least one container of the plurality of containers, a geolocation device configured to generate a geolocation value for the at least one container, a wireless transceiver, and a controller coupled to the onboard sensors, the geolocation device, and the wireless transceiver. The controller is configured to transmit the sensor data and the geolocation value for the at least one container to the server. The server is in communication with the container handler and is configured to generate a database associated with the sensor data, the database comprising, for each container, a container logo image and the geolocation value.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that include evaluating websites and web services to identify those that are at risk for a denial-of-service attack or a distributed denial-of-service attack. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes interacting, by an assessment computing system, with a target computing system, wherein interacting includes issuing a plurality of requests to the target computing system and receiving a plurality of responses to the plurality of requests; identifying, by the assessment computing system and based on the plurality of responses, a plurality of latency values that are attributable to processing performed by the target computing system; and determining, by the assessment computing system and based on the plurality of latency values, whether the target computing system is vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein include a portable air pump and inflator system comprising an electric air compressor, a compressor housing enclosing the electric air compressor, an air hose attached or attachable to an air outlet of the electric air compressor, and a housing base attached to the compressor housing. The housing base comprises a rigid base portion that is attached to the compressor housing and a plurality of flexible foot extensions that extend from the rigid base portion. The flexible foot extensions are configured to support the portable air pump and inflator system on a surface and dampen vibrations caused by the operation of the electric air compressor.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein include a portable air pump comprising an electric air compressor and a compressor housing enclosing the electric air compressor. The electric air compressor includes an electric motor, a piston cylinder, a piston, and a reed valve. The piston has a piston head within the piston cylinder and a piston rod attached to the electric motor. The piston head includes a piston valve that allows air to enter the piston cylinder. The reed valve is configured to allow air to pass from the piston cylinder to an air outlet while the portable air pump and inflator system is in operation. The piston head further includes a relief channel that defines an opening through the piston head to allow air pressure to escape from within the piston cylinder.

Abstract: A robotic surgical system includes an instrument cart having a setup arm assembly and a control drive assembly coupled to the setup arm assembly. The control drive assembly includes a chassis assembly, a first drive unit and a second drive unit mounted to the chassis assembly, and a leadscrew assembly. Each drive unit is positioned to translate relative to the chassis assembly between a retracted position and an advanced position. The first drive unit couples to a first surgical instrument and the second drive unit couples to a second surgical instrument. The leadscrew assembly is mounted to the chassis assembly and includes a first leadscrew operably associated with the first drive unit and a second leadscrew operably associated with the second drive unit. The first leadscrew rotates to cause the first drive unit to translate relative to the chassis assembly. The second leadscrew rotates to cause the second drive unit to translate relative to the chassis assembly.
