Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus includes management of engine off coasting during operation of a vehicle. The engine speed is increased and/or fueling of the engine is re-initiated before the engine and driveline are finally engaged when the engine off coasting mode of operation is terminated.

Abstract: A method for alerting a driver includes detecting an object in a spatial environment adjacent to a vehicle and identifying a set of output devices located within a cabin of the vehicle. Each one of the set of output devices may be located at a different location of the cabin. The method also includes selecting an output device of the set of output devices based on a location of the object in relation to the vehicle and generating a notification via the selected output device.

Abstract: A wheel hub (10) comprises a main body (12) and a drive axle arrangement (14) extending through the main body (12). The main body (12) is rotatable about the drive axle arrangement (14). The wheel hub (10) further includes a transmission assembly comprising first and second transmission arrangements (44, 46). The first transmission arrangement (44) is provided on the drive axle arrangement (14), and the second transmission arrangement (46) is provided on the main body (12). The first transmission arrangement (44) is cooperable with the second transmission arrangement (46) to transmit a driving force from the drive axle arrangement (14) to the main body (12). The drive axle arrangement (14) comprises an axle portion (34) and a sprocket carrier (42). The axle portion (34) extends through the main body (12), and the sprocket carrier (42) is configured to carry at least one sprocket.

Abstract: A method for providing adaptive localized notification in a vehicle compartment is presented. The method includes detecting a location of an event in a spatial environment adjacent to a first vehicle. The method also includes identifying a notification output device of multiple notification output devices that corresponds to the location of the event. The method further includes outputting, in the vehicle compartment via the notification output device, a notification that is localized to correspond to the location of the event.

Abstract: A method of controlling a plurality of robotic vehicles may involve the steps of: Determining a state of each of the plurality of robotic vehicles; assigning a robotic vehicle to an operator in response to a Binding command from the operator; allowing the operator to command the assigned robotic vehicle to perform a mission; and releasing the assigned robotic vehicle in response to an Unbinding command from the operator.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions suitable for the promotion of hair growth on humans and other animals. Disclosed embodiments include compositions comprising actin-binding peptides. In some embodiments, the actin-binding peptides comprise fragments of thymosin ?4. In other embodiments, the disclosure provides compositions comprising fragments of thymosin ?4 and/or other actin-binding peptides that are suitable for the treatment of alopecia and other conditions associated with hair loss. In still further embodiments, the disclosure provides compositions comprising the sequence of approximately six or seven amino acids of the thymosin ?4 sequence that bind actin.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are ribonucleic acid molecules, specifically ribozymes and siRNAs, whose sequence is at least partially complementary to heparanase mRNA. Said molecules may thus be used for the specific inhibition of heparanase, and as therapeutics for pathologic conditions associated with heparanase expression, like for example tumor formation, progression and metastasis, tumor-associated angiogenesis, inflammatory disorders, kidney disorders and autoimmune disorders. Vectors, cells and compositions comprising said ribonucleic acid molecules are also disclosed herein.
