Abstract: Systems and methods for managing speed thresholds for a fleet of vehicles are disclosed. Input is used to provide associations between particular weather-relation conditions (such as rain) and arithmetic operations, that may be used to determine a current speed threshold as a function of a local posted speed limit at the current location of a vehicle. The current speed threshold is subsequently used to detect whether vehicles are exceeding the current speed threshold.

Abstract: A method of applying non-linear regression on a set of data points to get an estimate is described herein. The method includes receiving a set of N datapoints, separating the set of N datapoints into Nb batches, receiving a family of fitting functions, and minimizing a log-cosh cost function for each batch by selecting parameters that minimize the log-cosh cost function. The parameters are obtained by: receiving a matrix product state (MPS) model and training the MPS to minimize loss over all the Nb batches, including choosing an MPS with M+D tensors. All tensors except D correspond to one datapoint in each of the Nb batches, D extra tensors in the MPS have a physical dimension of size M corresponding to the number of possible outputs for a given batch, and the coefficients of the tensors in the MPS minimize the log-cosh cost function sequentially over all the Nb batches.

Abstract: A method of embedding ordinary differential equations (ODEs) into tensor radial basis networks is presented herein. The method involves receiving a tensored basis function having D dimensions and zeroth-, first-, and second-derivative coefficients A_d, B_d, and C_d; defining A_hat, B_hat, and C_hat as a function of A, B, and D, and C_hat as function of A, C, and D, respectively; defining an orthogonal exotic algebra a, b, c; applying a, b, and c, along with A_hat, B_hat, and C_hat, as coefficients for the zeroth-derivative, first-derivative, and second-derivative terms; and embedding the updated tensored basis function by forming a matrix product state (MPS). The MPS can be trained by initializing MPS 3-tensors with random coefficients and sweeping left and right along the MPS and updating the MPS 3-tensors.

Abstract: A nozzle flush adapter includes an externally threaded coupler configured to threadably engage and secure a mixer nozzle in a fluid tight coupling together with a hose receiving coupler having an internal thread configured to engage and secure the threaded end of a conventional water hose in a fluid tight coupling. The nozzle flush adapter facilitates cleaning and reuse of normally disposable mixer nozzles exposed to two-component epoxy adhesives and the like by allowing the user to exercise a method whereby the user is able to flush water under pressure through the mixer nozzle before the material has cured.

Abstract: A storage system includes a shell having a plurality of walls and a plurality of rails. The plurality of walls are coupled to one another to form a storage chamber therebetween and to define a plurality of intersection edges. Each of the plurality of intersection edges is formed at a corresponding boundary of two adjacent ones of the plurality of walls. The plurality of rails each extend outwardly from a corresponding one of the plurality of intersection edges with an angled orientation relative to each of the two adjacent ones of the plurality of walls. A cross-sectional thickness of each of the plurality of rails increases as each of the plurality of rails extends away from one of the plurality of intersection edges.

Abstract: A storage assembly includes a bin having side panels, a bottom, a rim, a first reception slot and a second reception slot. The side panels and the bottom define a cavity therebetween. The rim extends from the side panels around a perimeter of an opening to the cavity and in a direction substantially parallel to the bottom. The first reception slot extends from the rim into a first one of the side panels, and the second reception slot extends from the rim into a second one of the side panels. The first one of the side panels is positioned opposite the second one of the side panels. Each of the first and second reception slots is configured to selectively receive a different portion of a divider, which divides the cavity into two or more compartments. Related storage and organization systems, accessories and methods are also disclosed and provide additional advantages.
