Abstract: A vehicle braking system includes a processing device, a linear actuator, a master cylinder, and a braking caliper. The processing device is configured to receive a heartbeat from an operating vehicle. The linear actuator is communicatively coupled to the processing device. The master cylinder is coupled to the linear actuator. Upon not receiving the heartbeat within a threshold period of time, the processing device is configured to transmit a signal to the linear actuator to cause a force to be transmitted to the master cylinder, actuating the braking caliper, and causing the operating vehicle to stop.

Abstract: The invention provides sulfated oxidised regenerated cellulose compounds, sulfated alginates, and the salts and hydrates thereof. The compounds are obtained by sulfation of oxidised regenerated cellulose with sulfur trioxide. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, in particular compositions for the treatment of medical conditions mediated by a matrix metalloproteinases and anticoagulant pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: A modular and adjustable backplane assembly for providing a fiber-optics backplane interface to a plurality of router cards functioning as a data router is provided. The assembly includes a first portion having a first array of connectors for interfacing with a compatible array of second connectors engaging specific ones of the router cards, and a second portion having a second array of connectors for interfacing with a compatible array of second connectors engaging specific others of the router cards. The mechanics of the assembly enable a moveable attachment with respect to the first and second portions such that they may be positionally adjusted during mounting, and wherein external data paths are provided from individual ones of the connectors to individual others of the connectors by fiber-optic conductors.
