Abstract: A number of illustrative variations may include a system that may manage torque overlay scenarios in a vehicle where the brakes and propulsion system are providing both lateral and longitudinal movement commands and there is a change in longitudinal acceleration requested from a driver or autonomous driving system. The system may manage driver brake inputs and brake-to-steer brake inputs to maintain brake-to-steer functionality while also applying sufficient braking as requested by the driver.

Abstract: A process and device for energy-efficient drying of green malt in a drying kiln using a rotational speed-modulated fan for directing an air mass flow through a bed of drying material for the green malt. The drying is implemented for a specified maximum kiln time. To do this, grain moisture content and a grain mass of a grain are detected, which constitutes a basis for the bed of drying material of the green malt after steeping and germinating, Furthermore, an ambient air humidity of an ambient air used for the air mass flow and a plurality of weather forecast data are detected at least with respect to the ambient air humidity and, during drying, a moisture content of the drying material of the green malt is monitored up to a specified limit. A rotational speed modulation of the fan is controlled such that the specified maximum kiln time is reached.

Abstract: Fixation device for fixation of leaflets of a heart valve includes a central assembly and at least one arm moveably coupled relative to the central assembly. The at least one arm includes a deformable frame having a first end and a second end and a longitudinal axis defined therebetween, the second end being moveable between a closed position and an open position. The deformable frame further includes first and second deformable flex portions, each flex portion extending along a respective lateral side of the deformable frame and having a deformed condition and an undeformed condition, and each flex portion having an outer lateral edge. The at least one arm has a maximum deformed arm lateral cross-dimension with the flex portions in the deformed condition.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes receiving versions of a message from a first satellite-based receiver and a second satellite-based receiver that both received a radio frequency (“RF”) transmission of the message, the message comprising a self-reported position of a transmitter of the message. The method also includes determining a time difference between a first arrival time of the RF transmission of the message at the first satellite-based receiver and a second arrival time of the RF transmission of the message at the second satellite-based receiver. The method further includes determining a measure of the likelihood that the self-reported position of the transmitter is valid based on the time difference between the first and second arrival times. The method still further includes transmitting an indication of the measure of the likelihood that the self-reported position is valid.
