Abstract: A configuration instruction associated with configuring a plurality of batteries which supply power to a plurality of motors in a vehicle is received. The batteries are configuring as specified by the configuration instruction, where the batteries are able to be configured in a plurality of configurations, including: a first configuration where at least some of the batteries are electrically connected together in parallel and a second configuration where at least some of the batteries are electrically connected together in series.

Abstract: A first propeller has a shorter blade length and a lower inertia than a second propeller. An electromagnetic field emitter is coupled to one of the first propeller or the second propeller and an electromagnetic field receptor is coupled to the other one that is not coupled to the electromagnetic field emitter. The electromagnetic field emitter emits an electromagnetic field. In response to the electromagnetic field: the electromagnetic field receptor and its coupled propeller rotate in a first rotational direction; and the electromagnetic field emitter and its coupled propeller rotate in a second and counter-rotational direction. In response to a second electromagnetic field associated with increasing torque: the first propeller increases and subsequently decreases its rotational speed; and the second propeller increases its rotational speed at a slower rate than the increase in the rotational speed of the first propeller.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for defining, at a computing device, psychometric data for a user. An interactive virtual assistant, selected from a plurality of interactive virtual assistants, may be provided on the computing device based upon, at least in part, the psychometric data defined for the user. The user may be prompted, via the interactive virtual assistant, with one or more options.

Abstract: A commanded control signal is compared against an adaptive control signal in order to detect a rotor strike by a rotor included in an aircraft, wherein the adaptive control signal is associated with controlling the rotor and the adaptive control signal varies based at least in part on the commanded control signal and state information associated with the rotor. In response to detecting the rotor strike, a control signal to the rotor is adjusted in order to reduce a striking force associated with the rotor.

Abstract: A yoga block that consists of a body having a plurality of surfaces. At least one surface includes a recess sized and shaped to removably, securely receive a handheld mobile device. The recess includes retention means for engaging the mobile device with the body, the engagement being such that a display of the mobile device can remain accessible for viewing or control. The recess may be configured such that the device does not obtrusively protrude above the general surface in which the recess is formed.

Abstract: A system for performing necking operations on a can body includes a necker machine and a positioning system. The necker machine includes a frame; a processing arrangement having a plurality of components movable relative to the frame for performing the necking operations on the can body, and a drive motor having a shaft operatively coupled to the processing arrangement for moving the processing arrangement relative to the frame. The positioning system includes: an encoder associated with the drive motor for monitoring a rotational displacement of the shaft and a controller in communication with the encoder and the drive motor. The controller is structured and programmed to: receive an input from a user, the input being indicative of a desired movement of the processing arrangement relative to the frame, and to operate the drive motor using feedback from the encoder such that the desired movement of the processing arrangement is achieved.

Abstract: Commands, including a first and second command associated with a first and second rotor module, are determined based at least in part on a set of desired forces or moments and a plurality of health metrics, including by determining a plurality of differences between the plurality of health metrics and a threshold and assigning a lower thrust value to the first command based at least in part on the first difference and a higher thrust value to the second command based at least in part on the second difference, where the first difference indicates a higher degree of wear on the first rotor module than the second difference indicates for the second rotor module. The commands are sent to the rotor modules and after the commands are performed, updated health metrics are determined.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof which bind to the human CD70 protein with high affinity and display potent inhibition of tumour cell growth.

Abstract: A factory management and monitoring system includes a processing unit structured to receive data from a plurality of sensors structured to monitor one or more factories or machines included in the factories, to analyze the received data, and to generate a user interface including the received data or information resulting from analysis of the received data, and a display structured to display the user interface.

Abstract: A set of one or more desired forces or desired moments associated with an aircraft having a plurality of rotor modules is received. A plurality of health metrics associated with the plurality of rotor modules is received. A plurality of commands for the plurality of rotor modules is determined based at least in part on the set of desired forces or desired moments and the plurality of health metrics. The plurality of commands is sent to the plurality of rotor modules where each rotor module in the plurality of rotor modules is configured to perform a corresponding command in the plurality of commands.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, a method includes receiving a loan application from a debtor with unsecured debt; receiving financial transactions data associated with the debtor; parsing the financial transactions data into predetermined data features; verifying the income of the debtor on the loan application with the parsed financial transactions data; ranking the parsed financial transactions data based on the predetermined data features; and analyzing the parsed financial transactions data to determine a first probability of default by the debtor with a loan having a lower interest rate than an interest rate of the unsecured debt. The loan application includes income, payments/expenses, assets, and liabilities/debt to determine a stated net income for verification with a calculated net income. The income verification provides the calculated net income for comparison with the stated net income and a measure of reliability of the input data in the loan application.
