Abstract: Assessment of cognitive function affected by brain injuries is achieved. This included, but is not limited to, assessment of cognitive function affected by brain injuries, for example injuries sustained during sporting activities. A virtual reality system is used to apply controlled cognitive loading to the subject, via a series of distinct test types which in combination apply an increasing cognitive load over time. Results are optionally assessed in conjunction with data from an instrumented mouthguard and/or Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model.

Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of receiving a data packet from a network controller, where the data packet is marked as valid based on a checksum calculated by the network controller, determining that the checksum generated by the network controller is in error based on a recalculation of the checksum of the data packet via a network layer, and transmitting the data packet from the network layer to the network controller with a notification that the checksum is in error.

Abstract: Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes registering at least one of a plurality of virtual internet protocol addresses (VIPAs) to each of a plurality of network adapters. The method further includes distributing, by each of the plurality of network adapters, inbound data among each of the plurality of network adapters using an address resolution protocol.

Abstract: A vehicle seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat, having a first structural part (4), a second structural part (6) and at least one fitting (10) that can be locked and unlocked, the fitting (10) having a first fitting part (11), which is at least indirectly connected to the first structural part (4), and a second fitting part (12), which is at least indirectly connected to the second structural part (6). When the fitting (10) is unlocked, an angular position of the second structural part (6) relative to the first structural part (4) can be varied about an axis (A). In at least one angular position of the second structural part (6) relative to the first structural part (4), a spring element (100, 100.1, 200) braces the first fitting part (11) and the second fitting part (12) with respect to each other in the radial direction.

Abstract: An electronic throttle control assembly for a vehicle has a housing that mounts to a handlebar of the vehicle and defines an interior. A rack gear is mounted in the interior for movement in a linear, translational, and/or radial direction. A pinion gear within the interior moves the rack gear upon rotation of the pinion gear. A sensor target is coupled to the rack gear. A sensor detects a position of the sensor target and generates an electric signal for a vehicle control unit. A grip is coupled to the pinion gear, rotation of the grip moving the rack gear and sensor target in a linear, translational, and/or radial direction, the electric signal varying based on the change in position of the sensor target. Opposing springs within the housing resist movement of the rack gear and rest in a normally preloaded state.

Abstract: The present invention provides minimally invasive methods of detecting, diagnosing, and assessing neuronal damage associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Specific species of microRNAs (miRNA), small, noncoding RNA molecules that play gene regulatory functions, are correlated with cellular damage and oxidative stress following TBI or CTE, allowing for rapid, minimally-invasive diagnosis and assessment of brain injury. The early identification and longitudinal assessment of neuronal damage in subjects suffering from or at risk of suffering from a TBI (e.g., football players, boxers, military personnel, fall victims) will improve clinical outcomes by guiding critical medical and behavioral decision making.

Abstract: An installation for surface treating, in particular painting, objects, in particular vehicle body parts, having a treatment booth which defines a treatment space in which a booth atmosphere prevails. The objects can be transported into the treatment space and out of it again by means of a transport system. Treatment of the objects in the treatment space can be carried out by means of at least one treatment unit which requires a process gas for the operation. The process gas can be supplied to the at least one treatment unit by means of a supply device, wherein the process gas arrives in the treatment space during the treatment procedure and thus contributes to the booth atmosphere. A separating system is provided, to which booth atmosphere can be supplied and by means of which process gas can be separated from the booth atmosphere. A corresponding process is moreover disclosed.
