Abstract: Activation of an automatic driving feature in a vehicle is detected by evaluating sequential vehicle operation data against subtractive and additive heuristic rules that define a likelihood of an automatic driving feature having been engaged as a function of vehicle performance. The sequential vehicle operation data, which does not include an explicit indication of whether the automatic driving feature was engaged, is provided for time intervals of a trip made by the vehicle. Automatic driving information is generated, which provides an indication of whether the automatic driving feature was engaged during a subset of the time intervals.

Abstract: The current invention features a rod screw for medical application that can be configured and used to fixate fracture of bones varying in shape and dimension, and treating maladies such as scoliosis, and securing an implanted device, to tissue such as bone. This is achieved by designing a flexible rod screw with a mechanism to lock the configuration in a rigid state. In an embodiment, a bone-fracture fixation device, such as a rod screw, includes a flexible body, a plurality of flexible members, and first and second interfaces. The flexible members are disposed longitudinally within the flexible body, such that the flexible body is rigid when the flexible members are fixed into position. And the first and second interfaces are respectively coupled to the flexible body, each of at least one of the first and second interfaces including a respective at least one hole each configured to receive a respective attachment member configured to engage a bone.

Abstract: A slatted door includes a plurality of interengaged slats, and end members arranged at ends of respective slats. The end members and the slats are configured and arranged so that, when the slats are engaged with one another and with respective end members, at least one lateral reinforcement impact distribution structure is formed. The impact distribution structure is configured to absorb, distribute and/or redirect impact force in a direction along the length of the slats.

Abstract: A Trustonic DRM Plug-in is provided that can be downloaded and operate in conjunction with an Android framework. The solution also includes a PVP with the downloadable DRM. The system includes components that can be added by Trustonic based on the Android 4.3 Framework in addition to current t-base 300 that can be used by any DRM vendor. The system enables the DRM to be downloaded in the field since all DRMs could use the standard API services of the Android 4.3 OS. With a codec component employed like H.264 or HEVC that can use the PVP with the downloaded DRM component, the Android video player can use the component to satisfy HD content security requirements.

Abstract: A system for delivering an intraocular lens (IOL) is disclosed, including: a handpiece including a barrel defining an elongate passage, a pushrod disposed inside the elongate passage, and a plunger coupled to the pushrod; and a delivery unit coupled to a first end of the barrel, the delivery unit including a delivery tube and a lens holder coupled to the delivery tube, the lens holder including a lead haptic shelf arranged to receive a lead haptic of an IOL that is contained inside the lens holder, wherein the lead haptic shelf is configured to fold the lead haptic of the IOL over a body of the IOL while permitting the IOL to travel under the lead haptic shelf when the IOL is displaced from the lens holder to the delivery tube by the pushrod during delivery of the IOL into a patient's eye.

Abstract: A footwear covering system is provided to permit the movement of a footwear covering from a first position, in which it is retained in a retention structure of a leg covering, to a second position in which the footwear covering at least partially covers an article of footwear.

Abstract: Artificial intelligence systems utilizing a chat driven interface that includes a chat portion and a display portion are disclosed. The user may interact with the chat portion of the interface in a human understandable and comfortable manner (e.g., through natural language).
