Abstract: Motion parameters estimation for localization of differential drive vehicles is an important part of robotics and autonomous navigation. Conventional methods require introceptive as well extroceptive sensors for localization. The present disclosure provides a control command based adaptive system and method for estimating motion parameters of differential drive vehicles. The method utilizes information from one or more time synchronized command signals and generate an experimental model for estimating one or more motion parameters of the differential drive vehicle by computing a mapping function. The experimental model is validated to determine change in the one or more motion parameters with change in one or more factors and adaptively updated to estimate updated value of the one or more motion parameters based on the validation. The system and method of present disclosure provide accurate results for localization with minimum use of extroceptive sensors.

Abstract: The flotation reagents from acidic olive oil are made by transesterification of acidic olive oil. Acidic olive oil is olive oil having an acid value high enough to render it unsuitable for consumption, typically greater than 3.3% and/or between 3.3-7%. Transesterification of the olive oil with methanol converts fatty acids in the olive oil to an ester fraction and a glycerol fraction. The ester fraction may be sulfonated and used as the collector in a reverse flotation process, selectively removing the carbonate gangue from phosphate-carbonate rock in the froth, leaving phosphates in the sink. The glycerol fraction may be used without modification as the collector in the reverse flotation process. Both fractions are highly selective for carbonates, substantially reducing loss of phosphates in the froth.

Abstract: The present invention relates to binding agents of human Leucine-rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2). More particular, allosteric modulators of LRRK2 activity have been identified, for targeting LRRK2 in human cells, while leaving LRRK2 subcellular localisation unaffected. Even more specifically, protein binding agents for allosteric modulation of LRRK2 kinase activity are disclosed, comprising immunoglobulin single variable domains (ISVDs) binding to human LRRK2 with nanomolar affinity. The invention thus reveals means and methods for a novel LRRK2 targeting approach through allosteric modulation of its activity for use in treatment of LRRK2-related pathologies, such as Parkinson's disease, as well as for use in detection of LRRK2 in vitro and in vivo, and for use as a diagnostic.

Abstract: A policy engine validates one or more security tokens in an authenticated request using a sequence of partial policy validations. Multiple policies may be applied to the security token using the work product generated from each failed policy. The policy that succeeds in validating the security token has a portion of its work performed through previously-failed policies that did not complete successfully. In this manner, the validation of a policy is performed faster and more efficiently since the previous processing is not repeated whenever a new policy is applied.
