Abstract: Systems and methods for governing access to or use of assets in an analytics platform. Access to assets is controlled with policies that reference attributes. A context of an access request is defined by collecting attributes associated with an access request. The context is then evaluated in light of attributes referenced by the policy applicable to the asset or with a class of the asset. The access request is granted, denied, or partially granted based on whether the attributes defined by the context of the access request comport with the policy.

Abstract: A telescopic conveyor includes a conveyor boom having two or more conveyor sections adapted to be extended and retracted with respect to one another in telescopic fashion to adjust the length of the boom, wherein the two or more conveyor sections are each curved about a common axis of curvature.

Abstract: A walk-behind rail condition monitoring apparatus is provided, including a frame; at least one handle on the frame; a processor mounted to the frame; a couplant tank mounted to the frame; and a rail capture unit mounted to the frame. The rail capture unit is constructed and arranged for retaining an ultrasonic sensing wheel and including a plurality of rotating guides for maintaining alignment of the monitor on a railroad rail.

Abstract: An energy absorbing and distributing side impact system for use with a vehicle is provided, the system utilizing a battery pack enclosure that includes a plurality of cross-members that transverse the battery pack enclosure and absorb and distribute at least a portion of the load received when either the first or second side of the vehicle receives a side impact. The battery pack enclosure is positioned between the front and rear vehicle suspension assemblies and mounted between, and mechanically coupled to, vehicle structural members (e.g., rocker panels) located on either side of the vehicle. In addition to providing rigidity, strength and impact resistance, the battery pack cross-members segregate the batteries contained within the battery pack enclosure into battery groups.

Abstract: An energy absorbing and distributing side impact system for use with a vehicle is provided, the system utilizing a collapsible side sill along with multiple vehicle cross-members to achieve the desired level of vehicle side impact resistance, the combination of these elements absorbing and distributing the impact load throughout the vehicle structure. A battery pack enclosure that includes a plurality of cross-members that transverse the battery pack enclosure also help to absorb and distribute at least a portion of the load received when either the first or second side of the vehicle receives a side impact. In this configuration the battery pack enclosure is positioned between the front and rear vehicle suspension assemblies and mounted between, and mechanically coupled to, the side sill assemblies. In addition to providing rigidity, strength and impact resistance, the battery pack cross-members segregate the batteries contained within the battery pack enclosure into battery groups.

Abstract: A light weight brake assembly for bicycles is disclosed. Some embodiments of the invention are designed to enhance assembly adjustability, for example to accommodate geometric variations that occur with various bicycle frame and wheel geometries. Some embodiments of the invention are designed to allow for a brake leverage that can be non-linear and capable of multiplying during brake actuation so that braking force increases more rapidly than brake lever force applied by the user. Some embodiments of the invention are designed to provide a brake sensitivity that is adjustable in use. Some embodiments provide for a quick-release functionality, for example by quickly increasing the gap between the two brake pads so that the wheel can be easily/quickly removed.
