Abstract: A launch control system for a vehicle having a powertrain includes a transmission configured to selectively perform a transbrake operation to temporarily lock the transmission to hold the vehicle stationary while an engine throttle position is increased for a vehicle launch, an actuator configured to initiate a transbrake creep operation, and a controller in signal communication with the transmission and the actuator. The controller is configured to (i) command the transmission to perform the transbrake operation, (ii) receive a signal from the actuator indicating a request to initiate the transbrake creep operation, and (iii) command the transmission to momentarily disengage the transbrake for a predetermined period of time to enable the vehicle to perform the transbrake creep operation and move the vehicle forward while maintaining the increased engine throttle position.

Abstract: Systems and methods for multicast stream mapping are disclosed. In one embodiment, a computer-based system to map multicast streams in a multicast network comprises a processor and a memory module coupled to the processor and comprising logic instructions stored on a tangible computer readable medium which, when execute by the processor, configure the processor to obtain a list of all access routers in the multicast network, create a process thread for each access router in the multicast network, collect multicast stream data from each access router in the multicast network, and present the multicast stream data in a report on a user interface. Other embodiments may be disclosed.

Abstract: A releasable bolt device 1 for securing an emergency exit door 2 comprises a support structure 3 of box-like form, a bolt member 4 slidably mounted on the structure 3 for movement relative thereto, a compression spring 5 for urging the bolt member 4 away from the door-securing position, a frangible keep member 6, and a plate 7 for retaining the keep member 6 in place whereby its presence maintains the bolt member 4 in a door-securing position. The frangible keep member 6 is weakened locally so that it may be deliberately broken at that locality by manual force applied to it, whereby the bolt member 4 is moved out of its door-securing position by the spring 5.
