Abstract: Methods and systems are described for generating and utilizing a pattern of association. The pattern of association can comprise information that indicates to which of a plurality of network devices one or more mobile devices are likely to connect. The pattern of association can comprise information that indicates an order of association. The pattern of association can be associated with one or more factors which can be any information that provides insight into the pattern of association. The pattern of association can be used to identify a next network device that a mobile device will transition to, based on which network device the mobile device is currently connected to. Data, such as authentication information, can be pushed to the identified next network device to reduce network connectivity issues that may occur by transitioning between network devices.

Abstract: An exercise assembly for assisting a user in performing squats and other exercise maneuvers is presented herein. The exercise assembly includes a substantially planar base platform, at least one riser bracket fixed to a top surface of the base platform, and a plurality of risers each selectively and removably disposable in a vertically stacked orientation within a channel of the at least one riser bracket to define a height-adjustable support block. Selective removal of one or more of the risers from the vertically stacked orientation within the channel will serve to lower the height-adjustable support block for the performance of more challenging squat exercises.

Abstract: The systems and methods are generally directed to engine combustion modeling of an engine having a combustion chamber. In one embodiment, a method includes determining the thermodynamic state of the engine combustion chamber based on received engine parameters. The laminar flame speeds of the combustible mixture are determined based on tabulated measurement results or from correlations available in the literature. The dynamics of the turbulent flame brush thickness are calculated using a 1D nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The mass fraction burned ratio is found by tracking the motion of a presumed truncated spherical flame front as it propagates through the combustion chamber using the mass continuity equation. One or more engine control calibration efficiency factors are then determined based on the resultant mass fraction burned ratio. One or more efficiency factors control at least one aspect of the engine.
