Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches testing an autonomous vehicle: shielding a GNSS receiving antenna of the vehicle from ambient GNSS signals while the vehicle is under test and supplanting the ambient GNSS signals with simulated GNSS signals. Testing includes using a GNSS signal generating system: receiving the ambient GNSS signals using an antenna of the system and determining a location and acceleration of the vehicle from the GNSS signals, accessing a model of an augmented environment that includes multi-pathing and obscuration of the GNSS signals along a test path, based on the determined location—generating the simulated GNSS signals to feed to the vehicle, in real time—simulating at least one constellation of GNSS satellite sources modified according to the augmented environment, based on the determined location, and feeding the simulated signals to a receiver in the vehicle, thereby supplanting ambient GNSS as the autonomous vehicle travels along the test path.

Abstract: An industrial process temperature transmitter for measuring a temperature of a process medium includes a temperature sensing unit, a compensation circuit, an output circuit and a housing. The temperature sensing unit includes a process temperature sensor and a secondary temperature sensor. A temperature signal that is indicative of the temperature of the process medium is produced based on a process temperature signal output from the process temperature sensor and a secondary temperature signal output from the secondary temperature sensor. The compensation circuit compensates the temperature signal for a response time of the temperature measurement to a change in the temperature of the process medium, and outputs a compensated temperature signal. The output circuit produces a temperature output as a function of the compensated temperature signal. The housing is attached to an exterior of the process vessel and contains the secondary temperature sensor.

Abstract: A modern scenic passenger railcar system is disclosed. The railcar system incorporates design and safety features of modern freightcars and modern passenger scenic railway cars. The railcar system incorporates a center beam with a square cross section as well as specialized crash posts with its frame. This results in enhanced safety and crashworthiness. The railcar system also incorporates cross members for absorbing and distributing shock and mechanical stress on the railcar system during use, by withstanding torsion and shear forces on the frame. This results in improved mechanical integrity of the frame and the railcar system overall.

Abstract: A foot activated grill opening apparatus and method for reducing the chance of user injury and eliminating awkwardness when opening and closing the cover of a grill. The apparatus allows a user to open the cover of a grill in a hands-free fashion. The present invention allows a user carrying utensils and plates in both hands to still open and close the cover of a grill. Additionally, the apparatus further reduces the chance of user injury from contact burns, radiant heat burns, grill flare-ups, and the like that may occur when a user reaches across and above a grill's heat source while opening and closing a grill cover in a conventional manner. The present invention further provides aid to elderly and weaker individuals incapable of either lifting the weight of the grill cover or generating the necessary shoulder/arm range of motion to open the grill cover.
