Abstract: A dipole antenna structure that includes a sheet of metal that forms elements of a dipole antenna. The sheet of metal includes a first arm, and a second arm connected to the first arm, and formed substantially co-planar with, and non-parallel to, the first arm. The sheet of metal further includes at least one impedance matching element connected to the first arm and the second arm, where the at least one impedance matching element is formed in the sheet of metal at an angle relative to a plane that coincides with the substantially co-planar first and second arms.

Abstract: An apparatus has connectors to receive batteries. A power multiplexer is connected to the connectors. A processor is connected to the power multiplexer to execute a battery charge protocol including the operations of selecting at least one battery for charging, where the at least one battery is in a fast charge state that allows for substantially linear charge performance. Direct current is applied to the battery until the fast charge state is terminated. The selecting and applying operations are repeated until the fast charge state is terminated in each of the batteries. Direct current is then directed to the batteries until a full charge state is reached for each of the batteries.

Abstract: Embodiments of a method and/or system for facilitating event-based vehicle operation can include routing a vehicle along a route in a three-dimensional space; detecting an event based on the external signal; determining that the event is of interest based on a parameter associated with the vehicle; and re-routing the vehicle towards the event, including modifying a vehicle locomotion component to move the vehicle toward the event along a shortened route.

Abstract: A system may detect a neurological impairment of a patient based, at least in part, on optical data. The system may include a computing device including a display to present visual information to a patient and an optical sensor to capture optical data of eyes and facial muscles surround the eyes of the patient. The computing device may further include a processor to generate data indicative of impairment based on the optical data.

Abstract: Embodiments of a method and/or system for facilitating event-based vehicle operation can include determining a vehicle route; determining geographic regions for the vehicle route; monitoring the determined geographic regions for events; determining an event of interest from the detected events; and/or dynamically facilitating modification of vehicular operation of the vehicle based on the event of interest, such as in response to determination of the event of interest.

Abstract: Dual Pouch Underwear for use by all humans is underwear or undergarment specifically designed to create anatomical separation of male parts (real or prosthetic). The larger pouch separates the testicles from the inner thighs and perineum, while the circular opening/pouch separates the penis head and shaft from the testicles. The larger pouch also creates light support by cupping the testicle and scrotum, rather than letting the testicles and scrotum hang freely. The circular opening/pouch is covered by fabric which has a fly opening to facilitate urination. In addition, the circular opening/pouch provides a layer of protection from urine splash, fecal matter, and other elements from contacting the rest of the genitalia while urinating. The separation of both the testicle and the shaft, limit skin to skin contact therefore keeping those wearing the dual pouch underwear, cooler, less sweaty, more comfortable, and less susceptible to skin irritation.

Abstract: An agricultural harvester (100) has a control system (166) that is configured to control a biomass harvesting rate based upon electronically calculated soil effects.

Abstract: Cannula anchor assemblies are disclosed which consist of a threaded cannula and a cannula anchor. The cannula anchor system allows for secure anchoring into the body wall, and proper cannula height adjustment prior to and during surgery. Sutures through the body wall may be secured to the cannula anchor either directly through the cannula anchor, or around suture posts attached therein. The cannula anchor also prevents excessive plunge of a trocar into the patient. The cannula anchor is generally configured with internal threads that mate with a threaded cannula.

Abstract: An imaging station/booth for automated total body imaging having a small footprint and capable of quickly, efficiently, effectively, and consistently capturing multiple body images of a user or patient over time with minimal assistance from medical staff.

Abstract: An agricultural combine (100) has a windrow control circuit that controls the profile of windrow (154) based upon signals received from a sensor (152).

Abstract: A method for event detection and content surfacing, including: receiving a plurality of posts from a plurality of social networking systems; indexing each post; detecting an event within a geofence based on the post parameter values; identifying an event of interest based on the event parameter values; notifying a user account of the detected event when the detected event is determined to be of interest to the user account; aggregating event posts into a content stream for the user account; and facilitating user account interaction with and use of the event posts.
