Abstract: A system for measuring the tongue weight of a trailer attached to a hitching component of a vehicle is disclosed. The system includes a smart device comprising a sensor for determining the angle of the smart device with respect to horizontal and an app running on the smart device. The app is configured to take a signal from the sensor when the smart device is resting on a surface of the vehicle at a point in time when the trailer is not hitched to the vehicle and store a value “Angle Unhitched,” corresponding to the angle of the vehicle without the trailer hitched. The app is also configured to take a signal from the sensor when the smart device is resting on the surface of the vehicle at a point in time when the trailer is hitched to the vehicle and store a value “Angle Hitched,” corresponding to the angle of the vehicle without the trailer hitch attached.

Abstract: A vehicle may include a passenger compartment, one or more vehicle controls in the passenger compartment, a user interface in the passenger compartment, and a trailer hitch towards the rear end of the vehicle. The vehicle may include an accelerometer and a vehicle control unit (VCU). The accelerometer may output a signal in response to a change in pitch of the vehicle as a trailer is attached to the vehicle at the trailer hitch. The VCU may have a memory device and a processing device. The processing device may: determine the change in the pitch of the vehicle; determine a tongue weight of the trailer based on the change in the pitch; compare the tongue weight to a threshold tongue weight; and, in response to the tongue weight being greater than the threshold tongue weight, output a warning indicator via the vehicle's user interface.

Abstract: A chair with a transom, a seat support, a back portion, and a combined rock and recline mechanism. The combined rock and recline mechanism has front and rear rocking arrangements configured to enable the seat support and back portion to together rock generally forward and rearward from a neutral position relative to the transom, and a recline arrangement that is configured such that the seat support is in a first at-rest position relative to the back portion when the back portion is in an upright position, and such that reclining the back portion rearwardly from the upright position toward a reclined position moves the seat support upward and rearward from the first at-rest position.

Abstract: Described are substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine compounds, which are coelenterazine analogues, kits comprising the analogues, and methods of using the compounds for the detection of luminescence in luciferase-based assays. Also described are methods from making the compounds, such as a method using aminopyrazine acetophosphonates as synthesis intermediates.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a heat dissipation module with a first end and a second end opposed to the first end and two receptacle connectors located at the second end. The first and second ends define a transceiver-mating direction such that, when a transceiver is inserted into the first end of the heat dissipation module in the transceiver-mating direction, the transceiver mates with one of the two receptacle connectors, and in the heat dissipation module, air flows parallel to the transceiver-mating direction between the first and second ends and flows between the two receptacle connectors.

Abstract: Disclosed techniques relate to fragment launching. In an example, a fragment launcher has a casing, a launch aperture and a detonation position. An inner profile of the casing tapers from the main body towards the fragment launch aperture and from the main body to the detonation position. A fragment is held within the launch aperture such that when in use an explosive charge can be initiated to launch the fragment from the launcher. The launcher is particularly suited to uses where there is a requirement to launch a fragment in a consistent and repeatable manner.

Abstract: The system for parcel transport and tracking that operates responsive to data bearing records includes a plurality of geographically spaced repositories. The exemplary repositories each include an interior area comprised of a plurality of enclosed compartment spaces. Access to each of the enclosed compartment spaces is controlled by a respective door which is in operative connection with a respective lock. Repositories are constructed to provide a secure enclosure for the parcels housed therein when exposed to a range of environmental and operating conditions. Central control circuitry in operative connection with the repositories is operative to control access to the compartment spaces and cause the compartments to be selectively accessible so that selected parcels may be placed therein or removed therefrom.
