Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to generate a turn path for a vehicle are disclosed. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes input interface circuitry to obtain a guidance path for a vehicle, turn identification circuitry to identify a turn in the guidance path, and turn pattern selection circuitry to select, from a plurality of predetermined turn patterns, a turn pattern for the turn, wherein the turn pattern satisfies a condition.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for guidance and/or automation of work vehicles operating within defined work areas. Initially, a first (e.g., figure eight) turn type is selected at least to transition between first and second parallel paths across the work area for reciprocal traverse thereof, further for optimizing a footprint with respect to at least an alternative second (e.g., U-turn) turn type. Responsive to said selection, a first turn plan is generated along with associated output signals for the first turn type relative to contours of the defined work area. Sequence points for the turn may be generated based on determined work coverage. If the work vehicle is determined unable to complete the generated first turn plan for the first turn type, based on detected work vehicle conditions relative to contours of the work area, a second turn plan is instead automatically generated and performed for the second turn type.

Abstract: An abrasive article can include a body including a first portion coupled to a second portion in a radial plane. The body can include a central opening extending in an axial direction of the body through the first portion and through the second portion. The central opening can include a circumferential surface defining an inner diameter of the body. The circumferential surface can be defined by at least a portion of the first portion and at least a portion of the second portion. The first portion can include first abrasive particles contained within a first bond material, including an inorganic material, and the second portion can include second abrasive particles contained within a second bond material, including an organic material. The organic material can include epoxy. In an embodiment, the second portion comprises an elongation-at-fracture of less than 2.7%, a Stiffness Value of at least 8.3, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a laboratory device, wherein the laboratory device has an outer housing which defines an interior of the device, wherein the laboratory device is designed to assume an operating state at which a pressure in the interior of the device is lower than an ambient pressure in the environment of the laboratory device. The present invention also relates to the use of the laboratory device in a clean room.

Abstract: A process for converting perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboximides of the general formula I in which R1 and R2 are each unbranched, branched or cyclic C1-C8-alkyl to a form suitable for use as fluorescent dyes, which comprises a) dissolving or suspending the perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboximides whose molecules have a molecular volume of ?230 ?3 in an organic or inorganic solvent at from 0 to 250° C.

Abstract: Novel crystalline forms of and a process for converting perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboximide of the general formula I to a form used as a fluorescent dye. The process including: a) dissolving or suspending the perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboximide in a solvent to obtain a solution or suspension; and b1) cooling the solution obtained in step a) to a temperature at or below the crystallization temperature of the perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboximide and, if the solvent is organic, removing excess solvent until the first crystals form, otherwise, adding water or dilute aqueous solutions of the solvent until the first crystals form, and maintaining the solution at that temperature for further crystallization; or b2) cooling the suspension obtained in step a) to or below the crystallization temperature when the temperature in step a) was above the crystallization temperature, and maintaining the suspension at the temperature for further crystallization to form one or more solvate crystals.
