Abstract: A method for colorimetric detection of cholesterol in a sample is disclosed. The method includes adding beta-cyclodextrin and cholesterol to a phenolphthalein indicator solution in the presence of a phosphate buffer solution to create a solution medium and quantifying the cholesterol as a function of a complexed beta-cyclodextrin in the solution medium.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward a method and system for checking a vehicle height and radar aim of a vehicle. The method includes estimating, by a forward imaging system disposed in a vehicle, a vehicle height, and determining whether the estimated vehicle height is within a predefined height tolerance. The method further includes performing, by a radar system disposed in the vehicle, a radar alignment test to determine whether a radar device of the radar system is aligned within a predefined angular range, and adjusting the alignment of the radar device in response to the vehicle height being within the predefined height tolerance and the radar device being misaligned.

Abstract: An exemplary radar mounting device for attaching a component to a vehicle body may include a resilient grommet secured within an opening formed in the component. The device may also have a stud for attachment to the vehicle body. The stud may have a ball portion received within the resilient grommet for attaching the component to the stud. In addition, the device may have a nut fastened to the stud to secure the component to the stud.

Abstract: A vehicle is provided with a forward-looking radar (FLR) assembly. The assembly includes a radar module mounted to a bracket or frame of the vehicle. Because precision in the angular positioning of the radar is desirable, the radar module is designed such that its vertical angular orientation can be adjustable. An adjustment screw connects the radar module and the bracket. The adjustment screw is provided with a plurality of annular flat engagement surfaces between the radar module and the bracket. Rotation of the engagement surfaces rotates the adjustment screw, causing the radar module to angularly adjust relative to the bracket. The engagement surfaces being between the radar module and the bracket allow for adjustment of the adjustment screw from its side in addition to its end surfaces.

Abstract: A motorized device arranged to move using cyclic motion is disclosed. The device includes a motorized means; at least one limb coupled to the motorized means, and configured to be driven by the motorized means for moving the device; and a resilient biasing means coupled to the at least one limb to further drive the at least one limb using mechanical resonance. A related method of moving the motorized device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A bumper integrated forward radar mounting system for use with a vehicle is disclosed. The system includes a radar module, a bumper attachment bracket and a bumper extension. The radar module is attached to the bumper attachment bracket. The radar module may comprise one or both of a medium range radar component and a long range radar component. The bumper attachment bracket may be composed of a metal or of a polymerized material selected from one of several plastics, fiberglass or nylon. The bumper extension fitted over the radar module extends from the existing bumper. Radio waves emitted from and received by the radar module must be able to readily pass through the bumper extension without being altered. To be suitable for covering the radar module the bumper extension must be of a uniform thickness, fairly flat and non-metallic with no metal or chrome to interfere with its beam patch.

Abstract: Certain examples provide systems, methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for clinical data analysis. Certain examples provide a clinical data analysis system including a user interface, a task manager, and a process manager. The example user interface is to facilitate user input and provide output to the user regarding a data query and analysis. The example task manager is to create and manage one or more analyzers to identify at least one of a trend and a correlation in query results. The example process manager is to facilitate querying of one or more data sources according to the data query and a flexible data model, the process manager to allocate tasks to the one or more analyzers for the data query and analysis. The example process manager and task manager are to facilitate user queries and automated system queries performed automatically during periods of non-peak usage.
